Smart Phone App for Loyalty Cards

The Key Ring App is a fabulous App that is available for both Android and iPhones. The best part it is free and can help keep most of your loyalty cards all in one spot. This helps make shopping easy and fast, saving you time from having to dig through all the cards in your purse or wallet.

I have been using this app for about a little over two years now and I have to say that it has made the point of purchase experience a whole lot easier when you are trying get in and out of a store quickly with a toddler! One of the loyalty cards I use with this App is Air miles. Since the card is accepted at many retailers it just makes sense to use Key Ring.

Scene Card, A Card that Keeps Giving!

Enjoy a bonus a movie while paying for your current one. Use your Scene points card and collect points with every purchase at the Cineplex Theatre.

As a mom and a student getting more for your money makes a lot of sense especially when both your time and money need to be stretched beyond their limit. It's great that when I spend money and use my Scene card at the theatre that I can rack up points not only on ticket purchases but all the yummy goodies that can be purchased at concessions, which gives you a discounted price on those items too.

Collecting these points just seems to make sense. Points collected just means that I can go back to the movie theatre free after collecting just 1000 points. Who doesn't like getting a bit more their money without paying more?

Not to mention you can download the Cineplex App on your smart phones to have access to the card to collect points without having to carry the actual card around all the time!

President's Choice Taking it One Step Further

Many Canadians can identify with the  PC Brand but now the PC Brand is identifying with its users.

This makes the shopping experience even more easy, friendly and enjoyable in grocery store.

I think President Choice did a fantastic job with their marketing promotions for the new PC Plus Points Program. Their approach is one that many of us consumers would like to feel when we shop at their store making us feel like we matter as an individual and not just as dollar amount.

I after viewing this commercial I was intrigued on how this program worked so I check out their Website to get some more information. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information to help with this without out having a PC Plus Points card number.

Customer Loyalty Program

Customer Loyalty Program is a reward program that is extended by a company to customers who regularly make purchases from a specific company. A loyalty program may give a customer advanced access to new products, special sales coupons or free merchandise. Customers most often register their personal information with the company and are provided a distinctive from of ID, such as a numerical ID or membership card, and use that ID at the time of the purchase transaction. E.g. (Air Miles, Scene, Sobeys) Loyalty programs deliver two essential purposes: they provide customers rewards for brand loyalty and they provide the distributing company with capital of consumer information. The use of a loyalty program gives additional information to companies  by  evaluating anonymous purchases about the type of products that are being purchased or can be purchased together, and if certain coupons are more effective than others. Popular programs are designed to motivate customers in a corporation's target market to revisit often, make repeated purchases, and turn away from competitors. In retailing, these programs in general reward loyal customers with discounts, special offers, rebates, points, or prizes. This program are also known as rewards program, customer retention, loyalty incentive program, frequent purchase program, frequent shoppers program, frequent buyer club, customer satisfaction program, rewards program, customer appreciation program. Loyalty punch cards (which can be paper or electronic) is a fairly low-cost marketing tool for assisting a retailer to recognize consistent customers and compensate them for their actual and estimated value to the company. A loyalty punch card does not require any personal information to be obtained by the customer for the company. This card is one that is either stamped or punched with every purchase made to accumulate for free merchandise or discount once the certain number of stamps or punches are obtain by customer. E.g. (Second Cup, McDonald’s McCafe)
