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.

What kind of reward should I choose for my customers?

You can choose different types of rewards. It can be a coupon for a free product or service (like a coffee, dessert, or massage), or a discount or voucher with a set amount of money off. What’s important is that the rules are clear and the reward is interesting for most people. For example, “every 8th coffee free” is motivating. But “every 20th coffee free” is too far away and not exciting. Don’t forget the main idea of a loyalty program – you are rewarding customers for choosing you instead of your competitors. Think about it: How much do you appreciate a customer who comes for the 10th time? Or someone who spends €100 at your café instead of somewhere else? The better the reward feels, the more likely they’ll keep coming back.

What types of loyalty programs are available?

Loyalty programs offer many ways to reward and motivate customers to visit more often. The most popular types are: Points Program – Customers collect points with every purchase and later exchange them for rewards. Cashback – Customers get credit after each purchase, which they can use to pay for future orders. Stamps – Customers collect stamps for specific items (like coffee), and after a set number, they get one free. Besides the main loyalty programs, it’s a good idea to add extra, fun options so customers feel it's really worth joining your loyalty club. Some great ideas are: Reward for spending a certain amount, Welcome bonus for signing up, Special offers only for loyal customers, Visit rewards, Birthday gifts, Random surprise rewards These extras make your loyalty program more exciting and enjoyable!
