How to run a loyalty program in a local store without a mobile app?

Local stores do not need to invest in apps to build customer loyalty. The simplest loyalty programs, which work without apps or cards, allow you to serve customers quickly and significantly increase the frequency of purchases. Solutions such as Loymee can be used in a matter of seconds at the checkout.

Why does the program work without the app?

Customers are eager to choose solutions that do not require installation or account creation. Programs based on text messages, QR codes, or phone numbers:

• they speed up service,
• reduce implementation costs,
• allow you to send reminders and rewards,
• and are ideal for small businesses and local stores.

Loymee fits into this model because it allows you to create points, stamps, and rewards without cards or apps.

How to implement a loyalty program without an app?

Choose a simple mechanism!
What works best is what the customer understands immediately:

• points for purchases,
• virtual stamps,
• a reward for a certain number of points or stamps.

Programs such as Loymee allow you to implement any model in a matter of minutes.

Clear rules
The simpler the message, the greater the motivation:
“1 point for every $20. 10 points = reward.”

Communication
Information about the program should be displayed at the checkout, on the door, and on social-media customers need to know that it pays to come back.
