How to Set Up and Manage a Festive Loyalty Program with Loytu
The holiday season is the perfect time to show your customers a little extra appreciation and encourage them to return for more. With Loytu, setting up a festive loyalty program is simple, flexible, and effective for boosting sales during the busiest shopping period of the year.
Here’s how you can create, customise, and manage your holiday loyalty program in just a few steps.
1. Choose Your Holiday Reward Theme
Start by deciding what kind of festive reward you want to offer. It should feel special and seasonal, something your customers will actually want to earn!
Here are a few ideas:
- Retail: “Collect 6 stamps to unwrap 20% off your next purchase.”
- Café or Bakery: “Get a free festive drink after 8 visits.”
- Salon or Spa: “Earn a complimentary mini-treatment when you complete your holiday glow-up.”
- Gym or Fitness Studio: “Collect 5 stamps and get a free guest pass for the New Year.”
In Loytu, you can easily name your reward scheme, choose how many stamps are needed, and describe the reward clearly so your customers know exactly what they’re working toward.
2. Add a Festive Touch to Your Digital Card
A digital loyalty card can be more than functional — it can look festive too!
Within your Loytu dashboard, you can:
- Upload a holiday-themed logo or icon (think snowflakes, gold accents, or Christmas lights).
- Update the card name (e.g., “Winter Rewards” or “12 Stamps of Christmas”).
- Add a short festive message or call to action that fits your brand voice, such as “Celebrate the season with rewards!”
A seasonal design makes your card more engaging and memorable, helping to stand out during the holiday rush.
3. Set Up Your Loyalty Program in Loytu
Once you’ve decided on your reward and theme, setting it up in Loytu only takes a few minutes.
- Log in to the Loytu app.
- Create a new reward program for your festive offer.
- Choose how many stamps customers need to collect.
- Write a clear reward description and expiry date (for example, “Available until 31 December”).
- Save, and your festive loyalty card is ready to go!
Customers can join instantly via your unique Loytu link or QR code. You can display it in-store, share it on social media, or add it to your email newsletter.
4. Promote Your Holiday Rewards
Even the best loyalty program needs visibility to work. Spread the word with a bit of festive flair:
- Social Media: Share a post or story inviting customers to join your “Holiday Rewards.” Include your Loytu QR code.
- Email Marketing: Announce your festive loyalty program in your holiday newsletters.
- In-Store: Display QR codes near tills or on packaging so customers can quickly scan and collect stamps.
Tip: Pair your campaign with a limited-time countdown (“Ends in 12 days!”) to create urgency and excitement.
5. Track Engagement and Adjust as You Go
Loytu gives you clear insights into how your program is performing.
You can:
- See how many customers have joined your festive rewards.
- Track which rewards are most popular.
- Adjust the offer, stamp requirements, or expiry date at any time.
If your program gains traction, consider extending it into a New Year rewards campaign to keep momentum going.
6. Celebrate Your Loyal Customers
The holidays are all about appreciation. When customers complete their festive reward, make it personal:
- Send them a thank-you message.
- Offer a small bonus (like an extra stamp or entry into a giveaway).
- Encourage them to share their experience online and tag your business.
This turns one-time participants into long-term loyal customers who associate your brand with positive, festive experiences.
