How to promote Loyalty & Rewards program?

If you are trying to figure out how to increase the visibility of your loyalty program, then this article is for you 😉.

Even if you've launched a super creative and profitable loyalty program, you still need to make an effort to make sure your customers know about it. Try to put yourself in the client's shoes and look at the program from their point of view. It's more than just sending an email with discounts and points. To be successful, you have to look at the bigger picture. By the big picture, we mean cross-promotion. Let's explore how to promote the Reward program using different tools, including our features and widgets:

1. Take advantage of FAQ or Terms & Conditions

Ensure that the concept of the loyalty and rewards program is properly articulated and easy to understand. To successfully promote your program it's necessary to describe the rules in the FAQ or the Terms & Conditions. Why? 

• Your clients will have a clear idea of what they can get and how they can get it.

What to include in the description?

• What do they get? 
• How can they get these perks? 
• Explain how to exchange points for discounts.
