Loyalty & Repeat-Visit Marketing

Q: Do we still need to approve the offer messaging ourselves?

Yes, offer copy still gets reviewed and approved by your team before any campaign goes out.

Q: Will this work with the point of sale and email tools we already use?

It is built to connect with common cafe point of sale and email marketing tools rather than replace them.

Q: What happens to our existing customer and visit history data?

Existing records stay in place and get enriched with updated visit counts and redemption outcomes going forward.

Q: How are exceptions like unclear or duplicate customer records handled?

Unclear or duplicate records get flagged for a quick manual check instead of being merged automatically.

Turn every completed purchase into a triggered, personalised re-engagement that keeps regulars coming back without manual chasing.

About This Automation

Loyalty and repeat-visit marketing requires pulling transaction history, sorting customers by visit frequency, and building matching offers by hand each week. Doing this manually across spreadsheets and separate systems delays campaigns and makes segments go stale fast.

The automated version pulls fresh transaction data, tags repeat versus new customers, and builds and sends the matching campaign without manual sorting. Redemptions and visit counts update automatically afterward, keeping every customer record current.

Key features:

Flags repeat versus one-time customers from the latest transaction export automatically

Groups customers into frequency and spend tiers without manual sorting

Builds segmented send lists that match each approved offer

Schedules and sends the campaign to the right segment automatically

Tracks redeemed loyalty codes as they happen in store

Updates customer records with redemption outcomes and refreshed visit counts
