Candy Store Loyalty Programme: Check the Counter Routine before Launch
A reward programme adds a rule to every eligible transaction. The reward should be understandable before the customer reaches the terminal.
Start with the decision
Define who qualifies, how value is earned, when it can be used and what happens on a return. Set out any exclusions clearly and confirm the applicable marketing and privacy requirements for the proposed data collection.
Work through the details
Run sample transactions with staff, including an incomplete reward, a disputed balance and a refund. Check whether the explanation slows payment or requires staff to leave the service position.
A planning example
A proposed reward applies to a gift pack that may later be returned. Before launch, decide how that return affects earned or redeemed value and rehearse the explanation. A simple written rule at the counter is more useful than asking each attendant to improvise the answer during a queue.
Check it in the shop
Pilot the programme with a defined review period and cost measure. Keep only the information necessary to run it. A separate sign can explain the offer while leaving product prices and payment instructions clear.
