Loyaltey Academy

Praktische gidsen om loyaliteit te laten werken — van de eerste aanmelding tot een programma dat zichzelf draait.

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.

Multi-location: one program or several?
If you have 5 stores, should customers have one card that works everywhere, or separate cards per store?

A/B test your automations — it's simpler than you think
Pick one automation. Make two variants. Loyaltey routes half your members to each. After two weeks you know.
