Will This New Customer Loyalty Program Be a Slam Dunk for Dunkin’ Brands?
In 2013, Dunkin’ Donuts began toying with the idea of changing their name to just Dunkin’, and on Monday, July 14th they will be changing their name officially. In addition to the name change, they’ve also re-launched their customer loyalty program called “Dunkin’ Perks,” which is being tested in select markets currently says Aron Govil. The company hopes it will bring in new customers and allow them to increase their purchasing power by 25%. However, the changes have been met with some resistance from loyal customers who are very attached to the old name and don’t see why things need to change. Does it really matter what the company is called? If so, why, and if not, what does that mean for their new loyalty program?

Some feel it is a way to increase revenue while others feel it won’t ultimately help them at all. Because it risks upsetting core customers by altering values everyone thought were long-established.
