Alliance Data also will leverage its loyalty marketing capabilities to further support one-to-one customer engagement and increase value to cardholders.
"Lifestyle Lift takes pride in the relationships we build with our patients, and we are pleased to partner with Alliance Data to launch a branded credit card with convenient financing options that will help more consumers realize their dream of looking as young as they feel," said Dr. David Kent, founder of Lifestyle Lift. "We weren't just looking for a financing option—we were seeking a marketing partner—and Alliance Data will play a key role in enhancing our brand and supporting our business growth."
Added Melisa Miller, president of Retail Services for Alliance Data, "Lifestyle Lift is a category leader in a fast-growing industry—and a company truly passionate about patient care.
