Discount card systems – conception, software + full service
Achieve your marketing and sales goals through smart customer engagement
The discount is the classic service of a customer loyalty system par excellence. Already in the post-war period there were the discount stamp booklets, which are counted among the earliest manifestations of customer loyalty measures. Its ease of use and low cost has led to its repeated revivals as part of a bonus program.
Another reason why the discount became a bonus classic is due to customer expectations and appreciation. Surveys consistently show that customers want a discount in the form of cash. A discount card system can bring about a change in customer behavior.
What are the differences and benefits between a discount card system and a bonus program?
The demarcation basically lies in the fact that a discount is granted directly and there does not have to be a collective benefit as in the case of a bonus program. The benefit and success are obvious, the direct discount binds the customer to your company. A discount card system can be implemented quickly, whether with classic loyalty cards or an app. In addition, you receive the advertising opt-in and thus valuable information about the behavior of your customers. In turn, you can use this information to target customers with advertising, which in turn can mean economic success for you.
Numerous companies, purchasing associations or trade associations are already successfully using a discount card system, thereby strengthening regional purchasing power. But a discount card system is not only interesting for this target group, but also for cities, municipalities and cultural associations, a well thought-out, intelligent system is a profitable investment.
Whether a combination discount and rewards programor a membership rewards program is right for you depends on your marketing and sales goals. The right tool for the right target group brings you maximum success. Let us show you all the variations in a personal conversation.
