Loyalty card
for ice-cream shops.
An ice cream shop has a few months to win customers over and the rest of the year not to lose them. A loyalty card on the phone helps with both: it rewards repeat customers in summer and lets you talk to them again when you reopen. It's a digital stamp card the customer saves in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with no apps.

THE PROBLEM
An ice-cream shop's challenge.
The season rules. In summer there are queues and in winter many ice-cream shops close or slow down a lot. When you reopen, you have no way of reaching last year's customers… unless they're on your card.
Many customers are passing through: tourists, weekend strolls. The neighbours who come back are the ones who keep the business going outside peak times, and they're the ones most worth rewarding.
Summer queues are unforgiving: the loyalty system has to work in seconds, with the customer already holding their ice cream.
HOW TO SET IT UPYour ideal card
Your ideal card
for ice-cream shops.
Practical tips so your ice-cream shop's card gets completed and pays off.
Stamp rule
One stamp per ice-cream purchase, whether one scoop or three. It's easy and quick to apply with a queue.
How many stamps
Between 6 and 10. In season, a regular can come several times a week; with 8, the reward comes within the same summer.
What reward
An ice cream (or an extra scoop). In winter you can switch the reward to a hot chocolate or a waffle if you're open.
Reopening
When you reopen, send a notification to everyone who has your card. It's the most direct way to fill the first days of the season.
Example with made-up numbers to show the maths; run yours with your own prices. Giving away a €3 ice cream that costs €0.60 to make every 8 purchases means giving back around 2.5% of what that customer spends in your shop.
HOW MANY STAMPSHow many stamps to use
How many stamps to use
in an ice cream shop.
In an ice cream shop visits are packed into a few months, so the reward has to arrive within the season: if a customer comes once or twice a week, 8 stamps is roughly a month or two.
Think about quieter afternoons too: double stamps Monday to Thursday spreads the footfall better without touching prices. More ideas in reward ideas by type of business and how many stamps a card should have.

WHY DIGITAL
Goodbye to the paper card.
A paper ice cream card gets wet, gets lost at the beach and is forgotten all winter. The digital card is still on your customers' phones when you reopen, and lets you tell them. If you use paper today, see how to go digital.
