DHL has enhanced its customer loyalty programme in the Middle East, allowing clients to receive award points for every dirham spent on the logistics company’s products and services.

Customers can enrol on the loyalty programme, titled Altitude, for free and redeem their points at a number of outlets, including City Centre in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. Alternatively, the award points can be donated to non-government organisations such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Dubai Centre for Special Needs (DCSN) or Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).

“With Altitude all our loyal customers will now be rewarded for every dirham they spend on DHL’s products and services. Previously, customers who registered under the programme were rewarded on parcel shipments only. It will now be across the complete DHL product range,” said Elliott Santon, marketing manager, DHL UAE.

“Our customer loyalty programme was launched in 2003. The rewards options for members now include a wide variety of choices, ranging from jewellery, electronics, office supplies, gift vouchers and, of course, greater discounts on DHL products and services,” he added.

Middle East Transport & Logistics Market Report 2007

Posted by | Sep 25, 2007 | |

The Middle East’s position as an important trading region has been boosted by the
region’s continuing infrastructural development and diversification into non-oil
products and services. This growing import/export trade is not only within Middle
Eastern countries, but also on a global level.

While China, India and Eastern Europe are still widely predicted to be the largest
growth markets of the next decade or two, the Middle East is considered an
important region for expansion in the transport and logistics industry. An
eyefortransport survey of North American third party logistics operators (3PLs) earlier
this year identified the Middle East as one of the regions where trade links will
increase in number and significance. A similar survey among European 3PLs in 2006
indicated that the Middle East has more growth potential for logistics and transport
than either North or South America.

And in this 2007 survey of the Middle East, between 20pct and 30pct of all
respondents indicated that their business expansion strategies would include
development of their Middle East trade routes and infrastructure.

Straddling the crossroads of the major Asia-to-Europe and Asia-to-Africa trade
routes, the Middle East has historically been a strategic hub for east-west
intercontinental trade – not merely for transshipments, but it is also a huge trading
region in its own right for both merchandise and commercial services.
