The set of features we offer in our Digital Loyalty Card App is an excellent toolbox to nurture your clients and monetize your app. With a well-tailored loyalty program, you can, not only make customers fall in love with your business but also keep them coming back, with gifts and rewards.
How Our Loyalty Card Apps Work
The loyalty card app you can install with our app builder relies on a point system. Namely, points convert into gifts. Pick a validation process, and your clients can earn a loyalty point on their card each time they visit your establishment, make a purchase or share your brand on social media. Once the card is completed, they earn a gift.
Gifts received through a loyalty program are a great incentive to secure regular clients, but it’s important to shake things up to keep things exciting. This helps you maintain the element of surprise, and provides more room for flexibility. With a rewards system, you further engage app users and drive even more business results.
Today, we want to help you make the most of both. But first, make sure you’ve answered these two fundamental questions:
- What are my program goals?
- What is my intended customer base?
Your answers to those questions will help you determine relevant, gifts and rewards. With loyalty, just like with your overall app project, defining your concept and getting to know your users are two success determinants.
For instance, if a loyalty program’s number #1 goal is to introduce a new offering, such as a new spa area at a local gym, the gift can be a free spa entry after ten sessions. While a “welcome” reward for app users can be: 50% off message for all users logging into the app for the first time.
As you can see, gifts and rewards, when working hand in hand, are great to show most loyal clients gratitude while getting a new line of business off the ground. Regarding ROI, if visibility and getting the word out about your establishment is your primary concern, give our social media sharing validation process a try.
A loyalty program can also support a sector of your business that might need a little push, creating more profitability. Concerning consumer behavior, gifts make for a stronger emotional memory. Gifts are usually received upon special occasions and associate with pleasant memories. In that sense, gifts help build a connection with your customers.
Law of Attraction
Digital loyalty cards are booming. But they have one thing in common with good old physical cards, when it comes to retaining customers, the prize is what ultimately matters: choosing gifts that are enticing enough while remaining cost-efficient. Gifts value will, of course, vary from one business to the next.
If you sell low-value items, drinks, for example, your goal is to sell more volume and ensure a recurring revenue. With that scenario, it is easy to define a target number of orders after which customers qualify for a free drink. If you sell a range of items, it might be more complicated to identify a gift to please your entire customer base. In that case, the gift can very well take the form of a discount. Besides, regarding consumer behavior, people tend to reach for higher priced items when using a discount, consider it if you want to generate more sales.
Timing is everything
In the Business section of your back office, your rewards menu will show four automatic rewards, such as the “welcome reward” we’ve mentioned above, or the Happy Hour reward. Maybe you’re wondering what to make of manual rewards with these suggestions already at hand? It’s all about timing.
Once the novelty effect of your loyalty program wears off, that’s where manual rewards can kick in. Use them to surprise users, around an upcoming event for example. Are sales starting soon? Target your Gold Club card holders and offer them access to an exclusive pre-sale event, after closing hours. A simple yet efficient customer appreciation idea and the perfect reminder of your existence!
