How it sells itself

Hi, I'm Lee. I built LoyaltyDog for independent retailers and hospitality businesses who want more revenue from the customers they already have — with less effort. Your members earn points, redeem rewards as cash back, and carry a branded Loyalty Pass in their smartphone wallet. Works online and in-store via Shopify POS. Detailed insights keep you growing. Your members spend more more often.

The platform brings together loyalty programs, fan communities, gamification and consumer-generated content, so brands can engage people beyond a single purchase. Receipt scanning connects in-store and online activity for a complete view of every buyer.

Key points
  • Large range of incentives, including: discounts, extra points, and bundle deals
  • Branded Loyalty Pass automatically stored in your customers’ mobile phones
  • Personalized, targeted messaging for increased engagement with customers
  • Reports, data and analytics provide actionable insights
  • Award points on various activities like purchase on webiste, follow on instagram
  • Reward your customers for them to burn the earned points
  • Setup tier based promotions, benefits and rewards
