Creating physical loyalty stamp cards or swipe cards can be a costly investment. They require you to pay for the printing and production costs, then the stamps or stickers to use with them, the delivery cost and of course the cost of replacing them when they’re all gone! Money money money…
Environmental Impact of Digital vs Physical Cards
Digital loyalty cards offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paper cards. By reducing the need for paper and plastic, digital solutions help cut down on waste.
This switch saves businesses money on printing and lessens their carbon footprint, making it a sustainable choice.
A physical stamp or swipe card requires the customer to keep it safe and with them at all times. Along with all the other cards in their wallet or purse, it takes up space. And what if they lose it? What if they lose it with one stamp left?! Although it’s not your fault they’ve lost it, you still replace it because you don’t want to lose them as a customer.
Security Features of Digital Loyalty Cards
Digital cards have built-in security features that protect user data. Encryption and password protection ensure that unauthorised access is prevented.
This means customers’ information remains safe, allowing businesses to offer loyalty programmes confidently. These safeguards protect both the business’s interests and those of their customers.
What’s Right For You
As a small business with a smaller – but more loyal – customer base, your budget may not be as big as a larger business so it’s important to consider your options when choosing a loyalty scheme for your business.
We believe we have the best option for small businesses. An option that doesn’t require you to pay a high cost every time you run out of cards to hand out. Create a Loyalty App for your small business using our App Builder platform. Add the Loyalty Card tab into your App and create a digital loyalty scheme that your customers can’t lose.
Loyalty Cards allow you to reward your App users who support your business by giving them digital “stamps”. You can then offer rewards in exchange for fully stamped cards.

How Users Can Redeem Loyalty Stamps
When a customer visits you and wants to redeem a stamp, they will hand the phone over to a member of staff, who will then enter the redeem password you set for that Loyalty Card to apply a stamp. Customers can do this every time they visit you and once the Stamp Card is full, they can redeem their special reward.
Benefits For Your Business
Having a digital loyalty scheme available to all your customers will incentivise repeat business, encourage customer loyalty and in turn increase sales.
Be sure to reward your most loyal customers with offers that they’ll appreciate! Do this, and you’ll gain loyal customers who come back to you time and time again.
