Active Loyalty Programs
A structured, time-bound marketing initiative that rewards customers for repeat visits and purchases — turning one-time buyers into regulars and regulars into advocates for your business.

A loyalty program is the always-on infrastructure — your reward rules, tiers, and mechanics. A loyalty campaign is a time-bound activation within that program: a double-stamp weekend, a win-back push, a birthday bonus. BonusQR lets you run both simultaneously so your program provides the foundation while campaigns drive spikes in visits and revenue.
Acquiring a new customer costs 5–25× more than retaining one. A well-timed loyalty campaign costs almost nothing and consistently increases visit frequency. Customers in loyalty programs spend 12–18% more per visit and refer friends at significantly higher rates. With BonusQR you create, schedule, and measure every campaign from a single dashboard — no developer, no POS hardware needed.

Mix and match BonusQR's campaign types to build the perfect loyalty strategy. Every type is ready to activate — no coding required.
Reward every visit with a digital stamp. Set your threshold — 8 or 10 stamps — and automatically issue a coupon or free item when customers reach it.
Award points for every euro or dollar spent. Customers redeem accumulated points for discount coupons — the more they spend, the more they earn.
Return a percentage of every purchase as credit. Tiered rates reward your highest-value customers with better returns — a powerful driver of repeat spend.
Trigger a reward coupon every time a customer hits a spending threshold. Simple, transparent, and motivating — customers know exactly what they're working toward.
Automatically send personalized coupons for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and other special occasions. Customers love the surprise — and it drives a visit when they're most engaged.
Identify customers who haven't visited in 30, 60, or 90 days and automatically send a targeted push notification or coupon to bring them back. Win-back campaigns consistently deliver the highest ROI of any loyalty initiative.

From idea to active campaign in minutes. BonusQR's dashboard guides you through every step — no training needed.
Select from 6 campaign types in BonusQR's dashboard: stamp card, points, cashback, spend reward, birthday, or win-back. Each type has smart defaults so you can launch in under 5 minutes.
Configure stamp thresholds, points ratios, cashback percentages, or spending targets. Set coupon values and expiry dates. Every setting is flexible — change it anytime without affecting existing customer progress.
Print your QR code from the dashboard and display it at your counter. Share the campaign link via WhatsApp, social media, or your newsletter. New customers scan and join in seconds — no app download required.
BonusQR's analytics show you campaign performance in real time — redemption rates, active members, visit frequency, and revenue impact. Use the data to optimize thresholds, test new campaign types, or identify your top 10% customers for VIP treatment.
Built specifically for brick-and-mortar small businesses — no POS integration, no developer, no complexity.
No POS hardware to install, no developer to hire, no technical skills required. Log in, configure your campaign, and go live — in 5 minutes or less.
Customers scan your QR code at the counter and instantly join your loyalty campaign — no app download required. Lower the barrier to entry and watch sign-up rates soar.
Loyalty passes live on your customers' phones in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet — always visible, always accessible. Push updates directly to Wallet passes to keep customers informed about their reward progress.
Send targeted push notifications to specific customer segments — win-back inactive members, celebrate milestones, announce limited-time promotions. Automation means you set it once and it runs forever.
Monitor campaign performance, track visit history, identify your top customers, and measure revenue impact — all from a single dashboard. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
BonusQR automatically segments your customer base by visit frequency, spend level, and loyalty tier. Target campaigns to VIPs, at-risk customers, or new members — the right message to the right person at the right time.

From coffee shops to gyms, every local business can run a loyalty campaign that keeps customers coming back. Here's how BonusQR customers use it.
Run a stamp card campaign with a double-stamp weekend every month. Customers rush in to accelerate their reward — filling your quieter weekend slots.
47% more weekend visits vs. regular stamps
Set a spend threshold (e.g. €20 = €2 cashback). Lunch customers who spend a little more earn cashback credit for their next visit — driving upsell naturally.
Average ticket up 22% with spend-threshold campaigns
Automatically send a birthday coupon (e.g. 15% off any treatment) in the week of a customer's birthday. They come in for the discount and often book additional services.
68% of birthday coupon recipients book within the coupon week
Run a points-per-spend campaign. Shoppers earn points on every purchase and redeem them for store credit or discount coupons — building a habit of returning to your store instead of competitors.
Repeat purchase rate up 35% vs. no loyalty program
Set a visit-count threshold: e.g. 8 check-ins = a free class or 20% off personal training. Members feel motivated to maintain their streak and avoid lapsing.
Monthly churn reduced by 29% with visit-streak campaigns
Automatically trigger a personalized win-back coupon (e.g. 25% off next treatment) to clients who haven't booked in 60 days. Bring them back before they forget about you.
32% of win-back recipients return within 2 weeks
Most small businesses launch a loyalty program and then wonder why customers aren't engaging. The answer is almost always the same: a program without an active campaign is just a background system. Campaigns are the fuel that keeps the engine running.
Experienced loyalty marketers run 3–4 campaign types simultaneously. But if you're starting out, pick one. The stamp card campaign is the most intuitive for both you and your customers. Set it up, let it run for 30–60 days, and watch the data before adding complexity. BonusQR's dashboard shows you redemption rates, active members, and visit frequency in real time — so you'll know exactly when to layer in a second campaign type like cashback or win-back.
Once your base campaign is running, layer in time-limited campaigns: a summer win-back push in August, a Valentine's birthday campaign in February, a double-stamp Christmas week in December. These create urgency and excitement on top of your always-on foundation. BonusQR lets you schedule these campaigns weeks in advance so you're never scrambling last minute.
The most successful loyalty campaign operators are data-driven. They check their BonusQR dashboard weekly, looking for three signals: (1) redemption rate below 15% = reward threshold too high or reward value too low; (2) member acquisition stalling = time for a referral campaign or an onboarding promotion; (3) visit frequency dropping among your top 20% = win-back campaign needed immediately. BonusQR surfaces these signals automatically in the dashboard — no data analysis experience required.
Pro Tip: The 3-Campaign Stack
The most effective BonusQR setup combines: (1) an always-on stamp card campaign as the base, (2) a birthday/occasion campaign running in the background, and (3) a win-back campaign that fires automatically at 60 days of inactivity. This 3-campaign stack covers the full customer lifecycle — acquisition, engagement, and re-engagement — and typically delivers 2× the retention improvement of a single campaign alone.
Enterprise loyalty platforms charge thousands per month and require months of onboarding. BonusQR gives you the same campaign power — push notifications, Wallet passes, real-time analytics, automated win-backs — at a fraction of the cost, ready in 5 minutes.
Segment and message specific customer groups — VIPs, at-risk members, or new sign-ups. Schedule campaigns weeks ahead or fire them instantly.
Customers add your loyalty card to their phone Wallet — it appears in their lock screen near your location. Push real-time updates to Wallet passes without requiring any customer action.
Track active members, redemption rates, visit frequency, and campaign ROI from a single dashboard view. Export customer data anytime for your own records.
Configure your entire campaign from a mobile-friendly dashboard. No developer, no agency, no POS terminal required — just your smartphone and BonusQR.

"We launched a double-stamp weekend campaign in January and our Saturday foot traffic doubled in just 3 weeks. I was shocked at how simple it was to set up — maybe 10 minutes total."
Marco K.
Coffee Shop Owner, Vienna
"The win-back campaign is the feature I didn't know I needed. It brought back 28 customers who hadn't visited in 90 days — without me doing anything. The coupon went out automatically and they just came in."
Sophie B.
Hair Salon Owner, Bratislava
"I used to run paper punch cards and would print 500 at a time, half of which got lost. BonusQR cut my campaign costs by 90% and I actually have data on who's coming back. Worth every cent of the subscription."
