Bumped rewarded AMC Entertainment customers in fractional shares of AMC stock when they spent. After they became owners of the company, those customers visited .47 more times a month and spent 52% more on average.
What’s more, once customers became owners in the entertainment company, they increased their average transaction amount by 25% — possibly spending additional money on concessions they had previously skipped.

More than 81% of customers rewarded in stock exhibited a behavior change, indicating that ownership of a brand may be a compelling reward to drive loyalty and engagement.
