Timely Affordable Loyalty Card App Development by AppDigitally
Businesses have been using the cardboard version of the customer loyalty app for decades. You know them as those stamp or punch cards where each time you bought an item your purchase was indicated on the card. Fill all the squares with stamps or punches and you got something free.
2nd gen loyalty cards had a barcode on them that was scanned at checkout and was typically linked to a phone number the company used to access and credit your store account. When your purchases reached a certain level you got a store credit or discount.
The 3rd generation of the loyal program does away with the card altogether and replaces it with the loyalty card app.
Merchant Loyalty Card Apps
The merchant loyalty card app takes the place of the physical loyalty card the merchant used to hand out. These apps are developed for or by individual merchants and made available as a free download for customers. The customer’s account is credited when they scan a QR Code at checkout or by simply placing their smartphone on a so-called “loyalty device”, or by having the cashier scan the app interface on the person’s smartphone.
Brand Specific Loyalty Card Apps
Sometimes the merchant sells many different brands (think department store), and sometimes the merchant and the brand are the same (think Starbucks). A brand-specific loyalty card app is for merchants who sell their own products and no one else’s. Some examples would be the restaurant loyalty app, club loyalty app and cafe loyalty app.
Wallet-Style Loyalty Apps
This type of loyalty app design provides a digital repository that replaces the physical cards you’ve been carrying around in your wallet. The app can accept as many cards as the developer sees fit and creates a separate space within the app (sort of like a “folder” on a PC) for each card. Some of the more advanced wallet-style apps now allow you to add new accounts through the app. Say, you’re at a store and decide to take advantage of their loyalty program. You just open the app, scan whatever the merchant needs you to scan, and the new loyalty account is automatically added to all the others in the “wallet”.

Reasons you should invest in loyalty card app development
Loyalty programs have been around as long as any of us can remember, and for good reason: they work. Still, some merchants need a bit of convincing when it comes to whether or not they should take the loyalty card plunge. Here are 6 good reasons to invest in loyalty card app development.
Loyalty apps are a great way to increase customer engagement with your brand, and increased engagement is a proven way to increase brand loyalty and customer retention. When considered from that perspective it’s easy to appreciate what a valuable long-term investment a loyalty app is.
Research indicates that if you can increase your customer retention rates by just 5% you may be able to increase profits by more than 25%. When you think of it that way doling out modest discounts through a loyalty app to retain customers seems like a pretty smart thing to do.
Consumers tend to lose interest in brands that don’t show any interest in them. If a customer leaves a shop with a pair of shoes and never hears another peep from that shoe store, they’re likely to go somewhere else next time. Investing in loyalty card app development gives you a way to increase engagement and reduce churn.
A brand advocate doesn’t have to be a celebrity. It can be anyone who speaks positively about your brand to the people they know, or who posts positive things about your brand to their social media account. An effective loyalty card app creates happy customers who become invaluable brand advocates.
Consumers today expect more from brands than a pleasant “Thank you”. They’re looking for a total experience that starts with brand outreach and extends through the sale and follow up. Anything you can do to enhance that experience – like offering access to a brand community through your loyalty app – will enhance the customer experience and help ensure long-term viability for your brand.
