Loyalty

A page that explains your loyalty card

A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

The card itself belongs in a wallet. The rules belong on a page anybody can check.

Takes less than a minute · no sign-up or credit card required

Loyalty schemes fail for a boring reason: the customer is not sure whether they still have a card, how many stamps they need or whether the one from last year still counts.

So the page says it in four lines. How you collect, how many, what you get and whether it expires. The card stays paper, because a stamp given by hand across a counter is the part that works, and the page is where somebody checks the rules without having to ask.

The rules

Four lines, and no small print

Ten stamps, one free coffee, no expiry, ask at the till. That is a scheme somebody can repeat to a friend, which is the only marketing it needs.

Whatever the rules are, put the awkward one on the page. Not valid on Saturdays is fine written down and infuriating discovered at the counter.

The app is usually the worse idea

A loyalty app costs money monthly, needs installing, and asks somebody to make an account to buy a coffee. The card in the wallet has none of those problems.

What the app has is a mailing list, and you can build that from the page instead: a line for an email at the bottom, without making anybody install anything.

How you collect, how many, what you get, and whether it runs out.

The awkward rule, written down

Exclusions on the page are rules. Exclusions at the till are arguments.

An email line instead of an app

Collect addresses on the page if you want a list, without asking anybody to install anything.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

Questions

Should I use an app instead?

Usually not. An app is a monthly cost and an install, and the paper card in a wallet does the same job with no friction at the counter.

What should the page say?

How you collect, how many are needed, what you get and whether it expires. Four lines, and any exclusion written out.

Does Clay run the scheme?

No, it explains it. The stamps happen at the counter, which is where they work best.

Can I collect emails on the page?

Yes. That is the one thing an app genuinely offers, and a line on the page gets it without an install.

How many stamps is right?

Whatever makes the free one feel reachable. Ten is the convention because it is easy to count on a card.

What about a lost card?

Decide, and say so on the page. Replacing them freely is usually cheaper than the conversation.

Can this work for a shop rather than a cafe?

Yes, though the number changes: what a shop band adds handles selling as well.
