GIC Show Guide 2022

Should I offer a Smartphone Loyalty App to my customers?

Some shoppers claim to be immune to merchant loyalty rewards and brand loyalty incentives. However, a quick poll of friends and colleagues will reveal that virtually everyone has used at least one loyalty program to increase shopping convenience and receive customer perks.

Customers today are familiar with being rewarded for being loyal to a brand. When they buy fuel, stop for coffee, go to the movies, book a hotel room, or purchase airline tickets, they now expect to be recognized for their loyalty.

The advent of the Smartphone App has removed the inconvenience of carrying multiple loyalty cards. Does the competition offer a loyalty program and is it drawing clients to them?

Do I have to offer points or discounts? . . . it seems expensive!

Customers are loyal to your brand because of great service, high quality products, and convenience. Offering a Loyalty App can enhance that experience in many ways with or without providing discounts or points. An app allows you to email receipts to your customers who may be environmentally aware. An embedded digital flyer enables you to send images and information, quickly and regularly, directly to your loyal subscriberclients replacing expensive and wasteful paper flyers. Merchants can introduce new items, suggest recipes, or announce upcoming events. An app also enables digital gift cards that display the customers’ available balance in real-time. There is no greater demonstration of loyalty than when a client is willing to pay in advance for products and services they will buy in the future. A client holding a balance on your private branded gift card inside your store’s custom shopping app is the gold standard in loyalty. Offering points for customers to collect

and redeem for products has proven to be a great incentive and it does not have to be complicated.

How does it benefit my business?

Identifying and knowing your best customers’ shopping habits allows you to improve the shopping experience. A loyalty app is a vehicle to surprise and delight your clients with small perks and conveniences. Some offer clients a cupcake and a coffee, on the house, at any time during their birthday month. If a family has been shopping in your store for many years, would you know today if they have never purchased bakery or meat items? Being able to identify and group clients that are not purchasing items in a certain department allows you to encourage them to try a product from those categories. Most importantly the data you gather regarding your loyal clients’ shopping habits versus the anonymous client baskets can tell you a lot about your business and your customers’ needs and wants. Importantly, your product vendors may offer you incentives

Paul Howell, Founder and CEO Howell Data Systems Inc.

to place their products in your digital flyer as they know these are being viewed by loyal and frequent shoppers.

Is it a lot of extra work?

Having a meaningful and effective loyalty program doesn’t happen on its own, but it doesn’t need to take more than two to four hours a week. There are no forms for your staff to hand out or complete as the client downloads the smartphone app from the app store.

You can decide what information you will ask your customer to share on the sign-up form. Reading basic reports, grouping clients (optional), and posting product and store updates requires a couple of dedicated hours per week. Our team can do that for you if you choose.

To learn more about Howell Data Systems’ custom smartphone loyalty apps, please visit us at Grocery Innovations Canada Booth 1103 or call Paul Howell, Corey Carter, or Jamie Somers at 1-800-410-6871. You can also email us at sales@ howelldatasystems.com. We look forward to speaking with you!
