OYO hotels & homes, South Asia's largest, China's 2nd largest, and the world's 6th largest and fastest-growing chain of leased and franchised hotels, homes & living spaces, today announced that OYO Wizard, India's largest hospitality paid loyalty program, has reached 1.5 million subscribers, contributing to approximately 25 per cent of OYO bookings.
OYO Wizard is designed to recognise and reward frequent customers and comes with unique benefits, including guaranteed discounts, cash back, discount coupons and upgrades.
The repeat rate among OYO Wizard members is twice, compared to regular users. For Wizard hotels in particular, 70 per cent transactions by Wizard members are made on Wizard hotels, resulting in higher income as compared to non-Wizard ones. Thus, making the paid program extremely beneficial to both guests and hotels. Interestingly, in terms of lifetime spend on OYO platform Wizard users are spending approximately 80 per cent more compared to non-Wizard members.
"Customer experience is a priority for us and with OYO Wizard, we have created one of the most comprehensive loyalty rewards program in the industry. With this paid program, we give our loyal customers the power of choice. We find it extremely rewarding to recognize loyal guests and strengthen relationships by providing highly-rated and curated hotels at the best price. With OYO Wizard, we strive to reach 3-4X of our customer base by the end of this year", said Aditya Ghosh, CEO of OYO, India & South Asia.
At present, OYO Wizard is available across 3 tiers - Wizard Blue (INR 99 for 6 months membership), Wizard Silver (INR 199 for 1 year membership) and Wizard Gold (INR 399 for 2 years membership). Core benefits include -
* Additional 5 per cent discount on all Wizard member hotels (over and above existing discounts)
