Desk/5000 - Gift and Loyalty programs
Table of Contents
Overview
Gift card program
The Moneris Gift Card program allows you to sell stored-value cards for future purchases in your store. Gift cards can help to boost sales, extend your product line, and build your brand.
To sign up for the Gift Card program, contact Moneris.
Loyalty program
The Moneris Loyalty program encourages customers to return to your store to shop. Loyalty cards can help to boost sales by giving you an advantage over your competitors.
There are four types of loyalty programs: Basic Loyalty, Enhanced Loyalty, Pro Loyalty, and Tracking. The Enhanced and Pro Loyalty programs allow you to capture more information about each transaction and therefore exercise more control over how loyalty points are awarded. Use the Tracking program to permit your customers to earn points from non-Moneris loyalty programs.
In general, this is how your loyalty program works:
- Every time a customer makes a purchase, you swipe the customer’s loyalty card so they can earn points towards rewards.
- When a customer reaches a specified number of points, they can redeem their points for a reward.
- To learn how to enrol customers, replace lost or damaged cards, promote your loyalty program, and more, refer to your Loyalty program operating manual.
- In general, this is how the Tracking program works:
- Every time a customer makes a purchase, you swipe the Tracking loyalty card so the customer can earn points towards rewards.
- The transaction data is passed to the Loyalty Program Provider, which then awards points to the customer’s account.
