How can I gamify my loyalty program?

Use modern and fun technology to make your loyalty program exciting. BonusQR is an app that automatically gets your customers involved. Gamified loyalty programs—like collecting stamps, tracking visits, or spending milestones—make customers feel rewarded for their effort. People love the feeling of unlocking a reward! The app shows them their current progress and what rewards they can get next. That way, they feel like part of a game. You can also set up random prizes—and you’ll see how happy your winners are!

What data can I collect – and is it GDPR safe?

With BonusQR, you get a list of your loyal customers, including the nicknames they choose in the app. You can also see their visit history, collected points, and used coupons. All customer data is protected and GDPR compliant. We do not show email addresses to businesses, and we only send notifications to customers about important or helpful updates—like earned rewards, upcoming coupon expiry, or new offers from your café. Thanks to BonusQR, you can stay in touch with your customers, while keeping their privacy safe.

How do I choose the right structure for my loyalty program?

Always start by choosing one main loyalty program – something long-term that works for every visit and is interesting for most customers. Good choices are Points or Cashback, because they let you reward all customers every time they come. Then, add an onboarding reward – a gift for new members when they join your loyalty club. The first step is always the hardest, so a special welcome bonus helps a lot. Finally, make your program fun and playful! Add gamification elements like: Stamp collection Rewards for spending a certain amount Surprise wins Birthday gifts This mix keeps customers engaged and happy to come back.

How do I start using the app and promote my loyalty program?

It’s easy! As soon as you create your profile in BonusQR and set up your loyalty program, you can start right away. In the PROMOTION section, you’ll find flyers and stickers with your QR code. When customers scan it, they’ll see your loyalty offer and can join your club with just one click. All instructions are easy to understand – they appear both in the app and on the printed flyers. Don’t forget to share your loyalty program on social media and your website. You’ll find a special link in the same section, which you can use to promote your loyalty offer online.

How can I measure the success of my loyalty program?

Start with your sales. A good loyalty program should boost repeat purchases and customer spend. To check if your setup works, track these key numbers: 1. How many customers joined? If fewer than 30–40%, your program may need to be more attractive. A welcome voucher can help — even with a free BonusQR account. 2. New vs. returning customers After 2–3 months, aim for at least 60–70% returning customers. If you reach 80%, that’s excellent. 3. Revenue impact Loyalty members usually spend 12–40% more and shop more often. Even a 5% retention increase can grow profits by up to 95%. All of this is trackable in your BonusQR dashboard.
