Loyaltey Academy

Praktische Leitfäden für erfolgreiche Kundenbindung — von der ersten Anmeldung bis zum Programm, das sich selbst trägt.

Before you start

Understand what loyalty means for your specific store and which program fits best.

What loyalty actually means
Loyalty isn't about stamps. It's about giving customers a reason to pick you when they next consider their options.

Phase 2: Growth

From 30 days onward — automation, segmentation, and how to reduce churn.

The three automations everyone should turn on first
Of eight possible automations, three give the most impact in the first 90 days.

Segmentation — stop sending the same message to everyone
The simplest segmentation splits top 20% from the rest. That gives 80% of the impact.

Reduce churn before it becomes a problem
It's cheaper to keep a customer than to acquire a new one — but only if you spot the warning signs early.
