Offering deals and other loyalty programs in a streamlined process
Project Overview — Reward based consumer loyalty program app
Businesses tend to make every conceivable effort to drive in new customers. And another way to grow your business is to ensure repeat customers from the first purchases. So our client from USA, who is also one of the fastest growing consumer loyalty program app, wanted us to develop a cloud based solution for small to medium sized businesses which can bring their customer back again and again to their stores, using their rewards and loyalty programs. The idea was to invite new customer by offering huge discounts using Instant Hot Deals on products and keeping them coming back to them using other loyalty programs such as Cash back.
Unlike other loyalty programs, which has a lot of terms and conditions and are often not applicable upon redemption, this customer loyalty program comes without any coupon codes and is very simple to redeem. The app comes with pre-defined offers. Offers are direct on the products which are listed over the app or website. The customer simply needs to visit any store listed on the loyalty app and gets rewarded for every single purchase he or she makes. Once they accumulate enough cash back in their wallet they can purchase products solely based on the wallet cash.
The client wanted to keep the business model simple and hence the loyalty app needs to designed in such a way that it is simple to use, easy to avail the offers and redeem when needed.
Solving customer retention issues for businesses with Real Cashback Offers
Online coupon sites offer loyalty coupons of several businesses with a code of which 8 out of 10 does not work due to either expiry or some other condition. This application removed all conditions and bring businesses and customer together with their loyalty programs as the businesses themselves add the offers which can be claimed only when the customer visit their stores,purchase and scan the QR code at the store, which ensures repeated visit by the customer to their store, for the rewards and offers they can hardly resists.
Business problems
-
Lack of legitimate loyalty programs
Most of the loyalty programs or coupon site which provides coupons online, does not work on the business website. Either they get expired or has lot of terms and conditions of use.
-
Lack of a loyalty program, which brings back customers to stores
Most of the digital coupons and vouchers are redeemable online while making online purchase. But hardly there are consumer loyalty programs which requires customers to visit physical stores and make purchases.
-
Difficulty in finding nearby store with offers in real time
There are very few application which offers real time offer notification when the user is passing by any store with on-going rewards and deals.
-
Lack of a loyalty which offers rewards on behalf of businesses
There is hardly any loyalty program app which offer rewards for the users on behalf of the business they have in their portal.
-
No loyalty program app available for local or small businesses
Often people relate loyalty programs with purchases from mall or supermarkets. Local stores or shops hardly run any loyalty program through any app.
Business Benefits and ROI gained
- The USP of the loyalty program is to ensure repeat visits to physical store thus ensuring repeat purchase.
- More repeat customers mean more revenue from commission for the business.
- Ability to tap on to maximum number of local stores as local stores don’t run loyalty programs of their own.
- Data analytics helped improve the marketing mix by the store owners.
