Loyalty Science Lab (LSL) is a loyalty think tank housed in the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University. Old Dominion University, located in Norfolk, is Virginia's forward-focused public doctoral research university with more than 24,000 students, rigorous academics, an energetic residential community, and initiatives that contribute $2.6 billion annually to Virginia's economy.
Loyalty Science Lab is led by Dr. Yuping Liu-Thompkins, an experienced academician who specializes in building customer loyalty and habit through effective marketing programs. She has worked with many consumer datasets to derive customer insights and actionable marketing strategies. Dr. Liu-Thompkins is a CLMP™, a member of the Loyalty Academy™ Board of Regents, and a member of the Customer Strategy Network.
The Lab's mission is to create and promote cutting-edge scientific research on brand and customer loyalty. Through collaborative efforts between marketing practitioners and academic researchers from multiple disciplines and multiple industries, the Loyalty Science Lab identifies high-priority loyalty-related issues, engages in deep, evidence-based scientific research on these issues, and disseminates the insight to benefit loyalty research and practice. The Lab aims to become the go-to place for the best insights into brand and customer loyalty.
LSL has embarked on an ambitious project to benchmark the performance metrics associated with global loyalty programs. This research project is being conducted in cooperation with the Customer Strategy Network (CSN) and is sponsored by Epsilon.
