About Loyal Zoo

Loyalzoo allows small to medium sized businesses run their own loyalty program quickly and easily. The application enables businesses to set up a loyalty program to run digitally on their electronic point-of-sale terminal, with customers no longer required to keep paper or plastic loyalty cards.

Businesses can tailor-make their loyalty rewards program by choosing to run points based loyalty or a digital punch card. Up to three rewards can be created to incentivize customers to spend more and increase customer retention.

Customers can easily join loyalty programs by providing just their name and phone number/email, or by downloading the free Loyalzoo mobile app. Staff members then award points or stamps on the point-of-sale terminal, instantly updating customers points/stamps to their smart phone.

Data can be imported from other existing loyalty programs including Fivestars and AppCard. Loyalzoo is also natively integrated in the Clover point-of-sale terminal and is available on the Clover app market, as well as on Lightspeed.


Key benefits of Loyal Zoo

  • Businesses who run a loyalty program on average increase their revenues by 11%, without reducing margins

  • Research shows that customers who are loyalty club members spend up to 2x more than customers who are not part of a loyalty program.

  • A Loyalzoo loyalty program can be set up in less than 3 minutes and requires no tech knowledge or experience.

  • When a customer signs up for a Loyalzoo app via Facebook, their check-in appears on their newsfeed giving valuable exposure.

  • Loyalzoo loyalty points/ stamps can be collected and redeemed across many locations - as well as online - for multi-store or eCommerce businesses.

    Pros

    I really like how easy the software is to use; the learning curve is minimal when starting to use it and it has stayed that way since I started using it.

    Cons

    I wish there were more features within the software. I understand they are developing many of the features I hope to be able to utilize some day which is great.

    Overall, things have been good.

    Pros

    It was pretty easy to implement and the customer service was always really quick to help whenever I needed assistance. It is usually a pretty user friendly program and does what we need.

    Cons

    It would be nice to be able to give out specific rewards instead of blanket ones. I would like to be able to change the rate of regular rewards from 1:$1 to something else, preferably customizable based on my preferences. It would also be nice to be able to do triple or more rewards, rather than just double points. I would also like to have an auto-add of points when someone registers for the rewards program.

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Hi Brianna,

    This is great feedback, thank you so much.

    In regards to issuing a different 1:1 ratio with points, we do have a feature where you can give more or fewer loyalty points based on tagged inventory items. So. you can align loyalty points based on the margin you have on each item. I've placed an article here to show you how: https://help.loyalzoo.com/en/articles/844680-modify-automatic-points-clover-and-epos-now but if you do need more assistance just touch base at. [email protected]

    We also have a special promotional tool that awards customers when they register and become "new" customers, it's called Handsfree Marketing and I've also left an article here on how to get set up: https://help.loyalzoo.com/en/?q=handsfree+marketing

    The feedback on the double points has been sent to our product team :)

    Increased customer visitorship and engagement

    Pros

    Handsfree Marketing feature with Deluxe (most expensive) tier allows for automatic SMS promotions. Ability to create up to 10 rewards.

    Cons

    When used with the Clover system, app frequently experiences down time and has trouble updating data in real time as customers earn points or redeem rewards. Online dashboard is frequently slow to update. Multiple inventory items cannot be assigned to a reward and automatically deducted from the cost of an order in the register checkout screen (must manually apply percentage off discounts). Unclear when SMS promotions expire. Very small character limit for reward title/description (can't elaborate on size, color, or any other product particularities).

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Hi Karolina, many thanks for the candid review.
    Rewards can be configured to inject the discount automatically into the order, there is no need to apply discounts manually. This would work much better in your case.
    Please get in touch with us and we can set it up.

    I feel that it was a good decision to start using the software and the customers certainly find it good (well the ones who install the app that is.) it does however need some tweaks to become an exceptional addition to our EposNow Till.

    Pros

    I liked the ease of installation and the speed that we got up and running with our EposNow till system.
    I really like the fact that we no longer have to spend funds on loyalty cards which customer usually end up loosing anyway. The app is getting some good feedback from our customers too!

    Cons

    the fact that it doesn't fully integrate with our eposNow system and sometimes it feels like we are running two systems instead of one. The bouncing back and fourth between our till screen and the loyalzoo screen can be a pain. i wish that when we search our existing customers the loyalzoo customers would also comeback and be more like a plugin. the fact that you cannot automatically use the points without searching the app for the customer first then removing the points and then going back into the eposnow screen and remembering to then apply the points at the point of currency changing hands.. real pain..

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Hey John,

    Thanks so much for your great feedback.

    Unfortunately, it is a limitation of Epos Now's capabilities that prevent us from having a deeper integration with your till. We would love to have a sleeker experience but we can only go as far as Epos Now's functionalities.

    Don't forget customer's don't have to install the app, you can add them into your loyalty program with email and they will get any points and marketing messages in email. You can even set-up a customer-facing check-in tablet so they can add their own email, using these instructions here: http://help.loyalzoo.com/en/articles/492777-how-to-get-customers-to-register-themselves-in-store

    I have been researching loyalty programs for months to find a product that works for us. My business is not your standard brick and mortar shop and required integration with many forms of purchases both face to face and online. Every other system I looked into and trialed was complicated and not user friendly for my staff and customers. The apps were clunky or extremely overpriced.

    Within 2 weeks I have been able to set this system up, connect it to both my online order forms and face to face purchasing system and even managed to link a login page to my website so customers can easily check in with us at any time to see their points balance and rewards.
    The application is easy for customers to use and points/rewards can be received instantaneously by my customers.
    I have received amazing customer service with instant replies most of the time. Nothing was too much trouble and requests were attended to promptly.
    Very happy with the service so far and look forward to using this system a lot more in 2022!

    Pros

    Ease of setup and integration with online systems.

    Cons

    I am a travelling photographer and videographer for dancing and events so my customers purchase both face to face and online. Because the software is designed for brick and mortar businesses, you have to be within a short distance to "check in" through the application. However I was able to work around this by putting the login/register hyperlink on my website so my customers can check in from anywhere.

    Many thanks for the incredible review Alicia, we really appreciate it :-)
