Is The Loyalty Card Dead?
This was the question posed by The Gift Club to Miconex Managing Director, Colin Munro:
"With a traditional loyalty card scheme, bringing businesses together in a coalition can cause operational headaches. A business may have their own stamp or loyalty scheme that they need to remind customers to use; it’s highly unlikely they will also remind customers to use the loyalty card for the coalition scheme too. Making loyalty programmes easier for customers means removing these traditional pain points for both customers and traders."

As businesses in towns and cities across the country start to open we are beginning to find out what might lie ahead for town centres after the most disruptive time in recent history. How are customers going to react after months of being told to stay at home? How can we work together to tempt them out of the their houses, understand these new patterns of behaviour and support our business communities?

Well if the activity from the towns and cities we work with is anything to go by then being bold and innovative seems to be the way forward.

In our June newsletter we shared some of their fantastic work and further opportunities to drive local spend.

Businesses in Bishop’s Stortford are being encouraged to sign up to the new Bishop’s Stortford Gift Card, which will launch in the town in the middle of June.

Gina Thomas is Bishop’s Stortford’s BID Manager:
"Being a part of the Bishop’s Stortford Gift Card will help businesses to find new customers. Traders will be listed on the website showing where to spend the gift card, which is the first place customers look when they receive a gift card.

“With a Bishop’s Stortford Gift Card in their hand, people can do something different, discovering a new place to eat or shop, or treating themselves to a haircut at a salon they’ve walked past hundreds of times. When you receive a gift card, it’s almost like free money, and people are more inclined to treat themselves. "

Mi Rewards, Miconex's town and city loyalty programme is expanding across the UK with launches in Guildford, Fleet, Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley and Enniskillen.

Customers register with Mi Rewards, link their existing payment cards, and receive rewards every time they use their payment card in a participating local business, without the need for a separate loyalty card. The loyalty programme is designed to encourage customers to shop locally and show loyalty to their local area.

Managing Director, Colin Munro explained:
“As a former restaurateur, I know the demands of running a business but the strains placed upon shops and services in 2020 are beyond anything we’ve seen before. As a business you capture data every time you transact with a customer, but we now have the technology to join up this data in an insightful way for a richer understanding of consumer behaviour. Towns and cities asked for a simple solution to the loyalty conundrum, and with Mi Rewards, that is what we are delivering. It’s time for towns and cities to get smart and join together to reward customers.”
