How much does it cost and how fast will I see results?

You can use the BonusQR loyalty program for free, and you’ll usually see results within the first 2 weeks. It depends on your business type and how attractive your loyalty offer is. Thanks to detailed statistics, you’ll see if new customers are joining each month and how many returning customers are coming back. If people are returning, your loyalty program is working well. Your next step is to help your loyalty club grow. If you want to unlock even more features, you can choose a paid plan for €19 or €69 per month. This gives you access to tools like push notifications, special coupons, early access sales, and more – which can help boost customer engagement even faster.

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.

What are the most common mistakes to avoid?

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.

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.

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.
