WHY LOYALTY PROGRAMS MATTER
Meet two local coffee shops, Brew Bliss and Daily Drip. Both offer great coffee, but their approaches to customer retention differ.
At Brew Bliss, customers receive loyalty cards through BNP’s integrated program. For every ten coffees purchased, the next one is free. Over time, customers eagerly return, knowing they’re earning rewards. Each visit strengthens their bond with the shop.
Meanwhile, Daily Drip has no loyalty program. Customers enjoy their coffee, but with no incentive to return, they drift to other cafes.
Over time, Brew Bliss builds a dedicated customer base, while Daily Drip struggles to see repeat business. The difference? Brew Bliss keeps customers coming back through its rewarding loyalty program, creating consistent growth and brand loyalty.
