Overview
Add a variable amount discount spending action and allow your customers to spend their accumulated points at their own pace. Learn how to configure this spending reward in Lootly.
Why use the variable amount discount?
Depending on the buying frequency of your products, you may want to offer your customers an option to spend their points in chunks and always have a discount they can apply on their order.
For example, if your main offer is a soup which people can buy every day, sometimes even several times in a day, a variable amount discount can be a great offer.
If I have already accumulated points at the soup store ( by performing various actions such as signing up for an account, interacting with the store on social media and maybe even reading about the business mission), now I can choose to spend them in chunks on my orders, allowing me to save on each next soup I buy.
Of course, you can combine the variable amount discount with other types of discounts, and essentially offer people a choice on how they want to spend their points.
