Top 10 Membership Rewards Cards for Your Business

Membership Rewards programs have been very popular and successful. Nearly every grocery store and gas station has started to offer their frequent visitors perks for their visits. For instance, Shell's Fuel Rewards® program gives you the opportunity to earn savings on in store purchases as well as gasoline simply by sliding your membership rewards card or having your key tags scanned.

We see what the benefit of membership programs are to consumers, but what benefits does your business get? As David Frey pointed out in his article, "Membership Marketing: Turning Occasional Buyers into Loyal Customers" there are many benefits to your business when adding membership rewards such as:

  • Increasing customer loyalty
  • Additional revenue from current customers
  • Raise referral business

7. Rewards Cards

For those that prefer to have clients earn their rewards, setting up your membership rewards program in your Point of Sale (POS) company is a great way to have points tracked. This will require that the cards have something to track each card such as a magnetic stripe, barcode, unique number or even a QR code. Check with your POS provider for more details.

10. Punch Card

Not all bookkeeping software options allow for Membership or Loyalty card tracking. A great way to still provide that service to your clients is with punch cards. With each visit or a certain dollar amount, you can use a paper punch to track their points.
