Buyer rewards programs have been
used with credit card companies, hotels,
airlines, restaurants, and other businesses
for years. Now Kagin’s Auctions of
Tiburon, California, is extending an offer
to buyers at auction.
The numismatic firm has announced the
implementation of the Kagin’s Auctions
Loyalty Program. All purchasers will
be entitled to a credit against any future
purchases in a Kagin’s Auctions sale, in
the amount of 1% of the total purchase
prices paid (hammer plus buyer’s
premium, not including taxes or other
charges). The credit will extend to the
next two Kagin’s auctions or a period of
one year, whichever is longer. Kagin’s
charges a 17.5% buyer’s premium.
“This is the first time that we are aware
of that such a long-term loyalty program
has ever been implemented in numismatic
auctions,” said Donald H. Kagin, Ph.D.,
president of Kagin’s, Inc., the parent
company of Kagin’s Auctions. “Actually,
except for a short-term promotion, we
cannot find where such a program has
been available from any other auction
house,” he continued.
We like the idea, but it’s going to
translate much better to a coin auction
house—where multiples are offered—
than to a business that specializes in
art and antiques. The draw at auctions
continues to be the objects, many of
which are singular examples, rather than
the terms of the auction house. Still,
kudos to Kagin’s Auctions for rewarding
buyers.
