What’s a loyalty program?
Customer loyalty programs reward your customers for returning to your business again and again. Whether it’s by offering discounts, giveaways, or exclusive perks, loyalty programs encourage customers to spend more, all while making them feel seen and valued.
One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to launch a loyalty program is a punch card system. Each purchase earns a punch or stamp on a card, and once a customer reaches a set number, they unlock a reward. By giving your customers a goal, it incentivizes them to action, increasing customer retention and engagement. Printed punch cards are easy for customers to carry in their wallets and are ideal for brick-and-mortar business locations. Digital cards are another great option that can be used through an app or online account.
Step 1: Determine your rewards
The rewards you offer should feel meaningful to customers and align with your brand. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Branded merchandise: Free t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, other branded giveaways that feature your logo.
- Discounts: Monetary discounts or offers, such as 10 punches = 10% off your next purchase.
- Exclusive access: Early access to sales or exclusive products.
- Free services: Free shipping or a complimentary service.
- Tiered rewards: Reward higher spenders with increasing benefits such as birthday gifts, VIP access, or premium service upgrades.
Step 2: Create your card
Whether you choose a physical or digital card, it should be clear and simple for your clients to use. On your card, include information about the rewards offered, and your company’s logo, fonts, and colors. If you need help designing your card, we’ve got you covered with design templates that stand out and inspire action.

Step 3: Promote your loyalty program
Your loyalty program only works if your customers know about it and sign up. Make sure enrollment is easy, and spread the word through in-store signage, your website, social media, and email campaigns. The more visibility your program gets, the more your customers will engage with it and improve your return on investment.
