What's happening?

A future benefit can provide a reason to return. Eligibility and program rules are market-specific, so the Singapore source should not be generalized across every Grab market.

Tactern analysis

Why it might work

01

How the mechanism creates value

A reward earned today can make a future purchase more attractive. The effect depends on whether the benefit is understandable, redeemable, and economically sustainable. Frequent promotional discounts can also train customers to delay purchases until an offer appears.

02

The implementation to investigate

A future benefit can provide a reason to return. Eligibility and program rules are market-specific, so the Singapore source should not be generalized across every Grab market.
