Your Own Pre-payment & Loyalty

Card System

You can design your own card with your logo pictures

and images. The limit is your imagination.

Advantages of Gift CardsGift cards mean a better sales experience for both you and your customer. But most importantly, they provide a real return on investment. A popular twist on the gift card concept is prepaid or stored value cards.

With stored value cards, your customers can pre-pay for multiple products or services in exchange for discounts and points.

Benefits of Gift cardsPrepayment advantage. A £100 gift card sale means £100 cash for your business today. Products or services are delivered by you well after payment is received.

Reduced administrative costs. Paper gift certificates are difficult to handle, process, and reconcile. Gift cards are easily stored, issued, and tracked. Transaction times are faster than any other exchange medium …just insert the card to complete the purchase.

GIFT CARDS ARE SECURE

Reduced loss from theft and fraud. Paper certificates are easily copied or altered. They are susceptible to theft, and must be kept secured, like cash. Gift cards have no value until they are activated, have a unique ID number, and are not susceptible to duplication

UNREDEEMED REVENUE

Studies show that the average customer leaves 25% of a gift card’s value unredeemed, and gift card programs are typically set up to leave this value on the card. Many gift cards given to Friends and Family are often not used or mislaid.

Keeping the Cash in your Business

Reduced loss from returns. When a customer returns merchandise, you have the option of offering a refund in the form of a gift card, ensuring that the value of the return stays with your business. This means cash flow is maintained. Cards can be topped up with return cash at the counter.

Gift Card Advertising

Free advertising. Your company’s logo and marketing message is printed on every gift card sold. This is a form of advertising that your customers carry in their wallet or purse every day. Plastic cards and associated in-store merchandising also provide advertising at your business.

Gift Card and Loyalty Points

Our system has a very unique feature which allows loyalty points to be added to the card when cash is spent from the cash purse.

This will allow Customers with gift cards a reason to come back to the store.

Loyalty Membership Card• Given to Customers as a membership/loyalty/Gift card to

incentivise returning to your salon or spa.

• There can be up to 3 different levels of card to allow Gold, Silver & bronze memberships.

• Members can ‘log’ into the Salon and gain points each time they attend.

• The times of entry can be recorded and downloaded to software to show frequency of visits.

• The Card can also be used as a Gift Card given to Friends and Family which in turn can be used as a loyalty card.

• Ad hoc points can be given at any time.

ELECTRONIC GIFT CARDThe cards we provide are chip cards which contain a ‘Points Purse’ and a ‘Gift Purse’the Gift purse can be added to at anytime and can be reused. If cards are given to friends and family the card automatically turns into a points loyalty card as the Gift cash is spent.

Gift denominations are determined by the Salon Manager and can be audited.

Creating the Gift Card

Using the Managers card the gift cash is added to the card in seconds. Every time the card is inserted into the terminal the available cash is shown on the terminals screen.

The Gift card can be used as whole or part payment in the salon for services or product.

Points or Minutes• The card can be set up to gain Loyalty

Points i.e. 5 points = £ 1.00 spend

• This can be changed at any time to introduce promotion days or demo days.

• Instead of using Points you can use the card to build up time in the salon/spa i.e. you can gain 5 Minutes for every £ 10.00 spent etc. This is easily changed by the manager as required. The minutes can be collected for free beauty spa sessions etc.

How are points gained

• 5 Points for every £1.00 spent (suggested)

• Up selling at sign up time

- 50 points for sign up of form

HOW DOES IT WORKPoints Award

Your valued customers are allocated Loyalty Cards which can be branded with your Logo or with one of our unique designs. These Cards are used for storing Loyalty Points which are earned for every transaction made in your store. The Loyalty Card acts as a constant reminder of your brand, inducing customers to return more frequently and increasing expenditure.

• Normally at this point we take payment for the system either by cheque or Credit card.

• At anytime you are free to visit us in Beverley to discuss the scheme and have hands on to the equipment before purchase.

SCHEME OPTIONS and

Suggestions

In the first instance we recommend using the 5% system. This option is set up as follows:-

For every £1.00 spent you award 5 points

i.e. £50 = 250 Points

£75 = 375 Points

£100 = 500 Points

After the Transaction

Once the transaction is completed the points are written to the smart chip and the customer is given back the Smart Card.

The customer can verify how many points there are on the card at any time during or after the transaction by simply inserting the card.

Redeeming the pointsAt some point the customer may wish to ‘CASH IN’ his points towards purchases.

The redemption value should be initially set as follows:-

100 Points = £ 1.00

500 Points = £ 5.00

1000 Points = £ 10.00

2000 Points = £ 20.00

TAKING POINTS OFF THE CARD

The terminal has the option to take points off the card using the ‘Subtract Points’ option.

You can either hand over a Gift Voucher to the value of the points or simply deduct the value from the transaction.

EFFECT OF Redeeming

Customer has spent £ 100 to achieve a £5 gift voucher.

That £5 will now need to be spent back in the centre on goods or services you sell.

The effect cost to you for this transaction will be less than £ 2.50 based on Cost of sales.

Cost to you if Discount usedIf the same transaction had been made using the discount structure that cost would be £ 100 X 10% = £10.00

The £10.00 leaves your shop with no guarantee of it being spent with you in the future. Therefore the saving to your cash flow using the loyalty Solution is £7.50 or based on a turnover of £ 10,000 per week the saving is £ 750.00 per week

CUSTOMER RETENTION

The customer having purchased from your shop

will leave with not only the goods but also a

personalised loyalty card with ‘Points’ gained

from the purchase and the satisfaction that

he/she will return at some stage to make further

purchases and gain additional points.

The card will also contain the Shop number and

a reminder to shop there again in the future.

Do not hand over the Smart Card until the form is completed.

Questions and Answers

Q. What if the Customer loses his/her card

A. In the Standalone system the card should be treated as a ‘Gift Card’ or ‘Cash Card’. If the customer loses the card it is like losing cash and the reverse of the card will have a disclaimer.

If on the other hand you utilise the software you can keep a record of the time, Date and Points gained at each visit.

Terms and Conditions

This Example is used on the back of Gift Cards

The ‘Company’ cannot replace or reimburse the value of the points of your card if it is Lost, Stolen or Damaged. Please look after this valuable card carefully and treat it just like cash. To check your points balance or to add more points hand your card over at the checkout.

Your Customer can bank their points in at any time in return fora ‘Gift Voucher’ or against Purchases. You should encourage banking wherever possible at the Point of Sale.

What About Returns

Most shops these days offer Credit Notes against returned or unsuitable goods.

As a General Rule If they are a Loyalty Card holder you should not give points out for Credit Note Purchases.

What if Customer forgets Card

If the Customer forgets their card you should validate the Sales Receipt and insert your test card to calculate points and write on the goods receipt.

The Customer simply brings in the receipt next time and you add the points to the card and sign the receipt with points given.

How Many Customers can I have in

the system

• The Standalone system is limitless in terms of card holders 100 - 500,000+

• The Audited system is again limitless, however you will need to download your transactions on a regular basis i.e. the terminal holds about 1000 transactions i.e. loyalty card holder visits.

How long does it take to get new

cards

Your Art work will already be set up in the system we therefore require 1 Weeks notice to get new cards to you.
