Loyal customers spend more and are brand champions for your business. By rewarding customers with something tangible, it gives them a real reason to keep coming back. Implementing a customer loyalty incentive is important, as it can make the difference between a “satisfied” customer and a “loyal” customer.
Welcome to #ShopLocal Club Card
Shop Local Club Card is the only all-in-one customer loyalty and rewards platform built by a small indie business to help other independent businesses market, engage and retain loyal customers. Also, it’s the only platform where your customers can use a single Membership card or our mobile app, so its inclusive and none of your customers will be left out.
We have created a FREE listing of your shop on our platform with the bare contact information details so that our members can see the local indie shops in the Marple area and can contact you via the app.
We are also offering you the opportunity to setup a Stamp Card and/or Points collection offer to your customers, we would normally charge £250 + VAT per year for this service, but for a limited time only, we are offering this service free of charge to local independent shops in Marple. This is because we are a local business ourselves and we only ask for yours and your customers feedback in return. We will use this feedback to make the platform even more useful to all its users.
WHAT TO DO NOW:
Firstly I would suggest downloading and registering with the platform at https://shoplocalclubcard.com/app-store once registered you will be able to see your shops listing and all other participating indie shops in the area.
Then you need to decide on a Stamp Card offer and/or a Points offer. Stamp Card offers can be something like “Buy 5 coffees and get the 6th FREE” or “Get a stamp with every purchase and get 10% off your 10th purchase”, these offers are only limited by your imagination.
Points offers include earning points for every pound spent and then convert points to Vouchers at a threshold that you determine. Popular among local indies is 50points = £1 Voucher, this equates to a 2% cash back on purchases.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would just like to chat about how the platform would best suit you and your customers. Once you have decided on your offer, we will set it up for you and show you how to use it, its really quick and easy.
We look forward to hearing what amazing offers you are going to give your customers, and to give your customers a chance to win our £100 monthly cash prize ( see attached image), every transaction you process on our platform gives them a chance to win!
We look forward to helping your business grow!
Kind regards

Would you like to hear more about how Shop Local Club Card will help your business to thrive?
Often the biggest hurdles with a loyalty program for any shop is “How do I get my customers on-board?” It needs to be quick and easy, you don’t want to delay customers by getting them to fill out forms and stuff, they are busy and they just want to pay and get on with it.
This is where our single Membership Card idea comes into its own, with this single Membership Card customers will be able to use it at all participating shops without the need for multiple sign-ups or multiple cards.
So a customer comes into your shop and you ask then if they have a Shop Local Club Card to benefit from your shops offer. Something like “Would you like to get a free coffee with our Shop Local Club Card offer?”, “Its easy we will give you a free coffee after every 5 you buy”
IF they do not have a card! You simply get a Membership Card for them Scan it, Stamp it and give it to the customer – explaining that the card has their first stamp on it and they are well on their way to earning a free coffee.
It is that quick and simple, the customer does not have to fill out any forms or give you any details they just take the card and they can use it when they next visit you to get the next Stamp.
Customers that would like to use our FREE app on Apple AppStore, Google PlayStore or Amazon Appstore can download the app register the unique Membership Card number and monitor and track their rewards. They can also use the app to check-in to the store before they get to counter so that it makes the check-out process EVEN quicker.
When shops know that its going to be a busy period or they just want to make getting new customers on board even quicker and easier, they can pre-stamp a few cards so that they just hand them to the customer. Better still it might be a good idea to have a couple cards pre-stamped and ready to go. This will make it easy to get all you customers on board so that they can benefit from your offers.
If you have any ideas for future blog topics, send them over, I am always looking for new ideas.
Thank you and have a great week!
