Loyalty application for
Retail

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.

Your loyalty program should be simple, clear, and easy to join.

Use an app with quick sign-up, the option to save the loyalty card to Apple or Google Wallet, and even let customers join without downloading anything—like with BonusQR.

Make sure your program is:
Easy to understand – no complicated rules.
Transparent – no hidden conditions.
Motivating – rewards should feel worth it.

Examples:
Every 10th coffee free
Cashback from each payment
2 points for every €1 spent

Set rewards that are interesting for all types of customers.

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.

Paper cards are nice and physical – customers can start using them right away, even without joining a loyalty program. But they are not very effective. Many customers lose them after one visit or forget them in another bag. That means no points – and you can’t send them reminders or special offers.

Digital loyalty cards are always in the customer’s phone, so they never forget them. They can always see their current points, and they can receive updates, birthday coupons, and special offers – all of which motivate them to come back.

The only small disadvantage of digital cards is that customers need to create an account to use them. But with BonusQR, they can register in just one click – quick and easy!
