Marketing Exclusion: When Loyalty Programs Make Customers Feel Like "Outsiders"
We examine how preferential treatment given to privileged customers in loyalty programs affects unprivileged customers. We demonstrate that exposure to preferential treatment of others causes unprivileged customers to experience un-belonging (we term this "marketing exclusion"). We show that preferential treatment affects unprivileged customers' loyalty, purchase preferences and behavior towards others.
