Extensive research, primary and secondary – quantitative and qualitative – learners and non-learners (including learner focus groups, surveys etc): Price sensitivity Use of and attitudes to on-line purchasing Loyalty schemes Competitor analysis The research clearly indicated that the idea of a membership scheme that offered tangible benefits would be seen as a positive move by Kent Adult Education customers in the 60 and over age group. Learners were also consulted about the potential name of the scheme and the artwork, image, style and feel of the scheme. The name “Club 60” was the final choice.
