Overview
Lootly makes it easy to start offering points & rewards to your customers for interacting with your store. While there are many features in Lootly, at the core there are 4 essential steps that need to be followed to ensure success.
Step 1: Create a variety of ways customers can earn points
Some of the best loyalty programs on the market utilize multiple ways for customers to earn points. This allows you to deeply engage with your customers across your store, social media and your blog.
Here are the most popular earning actions:
Make a purchase
Create an account (welcoming the customer to your store)
Celebrate a birthday
Like or Share on Social Media
Write a Review (awards points for a company or product review via TrustSpot)
To get started creating earning actions, click on "Points" within your Lootly Account, then select "Earning" from the left menu.
Point Tip:
The number of points customers earn for each action is very important, because offering too little will result in customers being frustrated, while too many could become cumbersome to manage. For that reason we recommend the following:
Create an Account: 250 points
Celebrate a Birthday: 200 points
Make a Purchase: 1 point per $1 spent
Follow / Like on Social Media: 50 points
Share on Social Media: 100 points
Write a Review: 300 points (writing a review takes significant effort from the customer, so you'll need to ensure they are properly incentivized to do so)
Read Content: 50 points
Step 2: Create multiple ways for customers to redeem points
Similar to creating a variety of ways for customers to earn points, it's also great to create a variety of ways customers can redeem their points. You want customers to be excited about participating in your loyalty program, because it creates a bond between the user and your brand.
Here are the most popular spending rewards:
Fixed discount ($ off coupon)
Percentage discount (% off coupon)
Free Shipping
Free Product
To get started creating earning actions, click on "Points" within your Lootly Account, then select "Spending" from the left menu.
Reward Tips:
We recommend to create rewards with different amounts, starting at a low amount such as $5 or 10% off, and gradually increase so customers can feel they are constantly working towards the next big thing.
When creating a reward, you will need to determine the value that 1 point is worth. Traditionally, stores will say: 100 points = $1 , and for that reason our recommendation is the following:
$5 off coupon = 500 points
$10 off coupon = 1,000 points
$20 off coupon = 2,000 points
Step 3: Customize how your program looks on your website
Now that you've created some great new ways for customers to earn points with your store, and redeem those points for exciting discounts, the next step is to customize how the design will look on your store.
We recommend for you to pick a color that best matches your branding.
