Kohl’s Focuses on Enriching Customer Service
Kohl’s private label credit card program, Kohl’s Card, provides customers with access to unique offers, savings and online payment options. This agreement will help the company enhance this program, thereby underscoring its focus on enriching services to customers. Both the contract parties have also agreed to a co-branded card product, which will be piloted as early as 2023.
Kohl’s loyalty products include its Kohl's Card, Kohl's Rewards and the retailer’s iconic Kohl's Cash coupons. KSS recently revealed its intentions to roll out improved rewards for holders of Kohl’s Card this spring. Apart from this, Kohl’s is also renowned for its other prudent partnerships, which have been working well for this Wisconsin-based company.
The company has been benefiting from the rollout of Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) Amazon returns program nationwide. Per this program, Kohl’s stores accept free, unpackaged and easy returns for customers of Amazon. The company is impressed with the performance of AMZN’s Amazon returns program. One of the prime objectives of this program is to convert more customers into loyal Kohl’s shoppers.
Kohl’s solid partnership with Sephora to create a new era of elevated Beauty at Kohl's is also noteworthy. Recently, Kohl's unveiled plans to add another 400 Sephora at Kohl’s shops after seeing the success in the first 200 stores. This takes the total of Sephora at Kohl’s locations to 600, which keeps the alliance between the two companies on track to achieve their goal of 850 stores by 2023. This is likely to further enhance customers’ experiences at Kohl’s stores.
Coming back to Kohl’s, the abovementioned deal extension with Capital One Financial’s Capital One, National Association is likely to benefit both the companies and solidify their ties, which were initiated back in 2011.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Dillard's current financial-year sales suggests growth of 4.7% from the year-ago period’s reported figure. Shares of DDS have rallied 41% in the past six months.
