Packers Inc. (the Company) manufactures needles used to inflate and deflate sporting equipment (e.g., footballs, basketballs, soccer balls). The Company produces high-quality stainless steel needles at a price of $5 per needle.
To incentivize customers to purchase its needles, the Company created a customer loyalty program (the Program) that rewards customers with one loyalty point per dollar spent. For every 20 points earned, the customer can redeem those points for a $1 credit toward future needle purchases.
As customers points accumulate, the Company expects the points will influence customer behavior because it is expected that customers will be able to earn free goods. Customers can join the Program for no fee by providing their e-mail address. Loyalty points are not earned when purchases are paid for via redemption of loyalty points.
Historically, 95 percent of the points earned under the Program are redeemed.
