Webloyalty grows German operations with Wizz Air partnership
Airline selects Webloyalty Germany to increase online revenue
LONDON, UK, 4 May 2010 - Webloyalty, a leading provider of incremental revenue for online businesses, today announced further expansion in to the German market, winning business to partner with Wizz Air, the largest low cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Webloyalty provides solutions for online retail and travel businesses in the US, UK, France and now Germany, to leverage their existing online sales models to generate additional revenue through programmes such as Shopper Discounts & Rewards. In Germany, the programme launched last month under the name ‘Shoppen und Sparen’.
Wizz Air carried 7.8 million passengers in 2009 (30% more than the previous year) offering over 150 routes in 21 European countries. The airline has been working with Webloyalty in the UK and France since 2009 and has now chosen Webloyalty Germany to support its online revenue strategy across Europe.
"Germany has a thriving e-commerce market and since announcing the launch of our operations in Germany in March of this year, we are already seeing clients benefit from introducing their customers to our programmes", says Martin Child, Managing Director Europe, Webloyalty.
"Our model helps Wizz Air and other online businesses in Germany to reward repeat customers with regular discounts and rewards, whilst providing an additional revenue stream and repeat business to their web pages."
Customers booking online with Wizz Air in Germany will have the option to join 'Shoppen und Sparen', Webloyalty’s membership programme designed for regular online shoppers, that offers cash back and year round discounts of up to 20 percent at over 400 top online retailers.
Members in Germany will benefit from Best Price Guarantee, Extended Warranty, Damage Theft & Loss Protection and Delivery Guarantees. This is in addition to the ongoing rewards such as a €10 cash back cheque, from Webloyalty, each month towards Wizz Air’s lowest fares – all for just €12 per month. The 30 day free trial will allow passengers to trial the service which could save regular internet shoppers hundreds of euros each year.
Wizz Air’s György Abrán, Chief Commercial Officer, commented: "Wizz Air is a value-oriented airline that focuses on innovation all along the way of the customer journey. Our aim has always been to make flying affordable to the citizens of CEE, so we’re pleased that with Webloyalty we’re able to offer our regular passengers in Germany, as well as the UK and France, additional value and another reason to keep flying with us."
