We could depict the story this way:
Conferences
Resorts
Non-member business guests
Members
Top-tier membersaccount for 20% of all discretionary revenues, and 100% of profits
Break-even
![Page 14: Branding Customers Marketing in the Information Age](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e395503460f94b2a1ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
But of course this is depiction is pretty arbitrary...
All guest revenues contribute to profitability.
Indeed frequent guests may contribute less pernight than infrequent guests if their patronage is bought with low prices.
So what’s attractive about frequent guests?
![Page 15: Branding Customers Marketing in the Information Age](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e395503460f94b2a1ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Frequent guest programs economize on customer acquisition costs.
Frequent guest programs economize on customer retention cost.

We could depict the story this way:
Conferences
Resorts
Non-member business guests
Members
Top-tier membersaccount for 20% of all discretionary revenues, and more than 100% of profits
Break-even
Cost of retainingthis business is essentially zero
Hilton spends $500 millioneach year to acquire this business

Result:
Loyalty programs are not to be viewed as a ‘cost of doing business.’
They are tools to brand customers.
They are the entry price for managing markets at the customer level - they let Hilton run the business in the best interest of the best customers.

Conclusions
The future of marketing lies in mastering Interactivity.
Interactivity demands identity. Consumers get identity through the initiatives of producers.
Which initiatives? Brand the customer and manage one customer at a time. The frequent flyer program may be the prototype of marketing generally.
Just as powerful 20th century producers controlled product brands, so powerful 21st century producers will control consumer brands.
