Loyal Zoo

Digital loyalty card service for SME retailers and eateries

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

    Great Loyalty Program But...

    Reviewed on 2018-11-02

    Pros

    The Program as a whole is really great! They are always offers updates and continue to add new features while keeping the price the same. The pricing is great especially compared to other Loyalty apps out there like Fivestars, which is almost double the price. The fact that you get to send text and email straight to your customer base really helps to keep traffic coming to you store. All in all i am very happy with my service

    Cons

    There are just a few thing I feel need work. They offer double points that can be turned on manually at anytime. I wish you were able to have the double points put on a schedule to automatically be turned on when you set it to. I also wish they offered a birthday offer to our customers. The previous reward system we used offered this service and our customers really liked the extra little bonus during there birthday month.

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Hey Desiree,

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback.

    We do have the ability to schedule double points ; ) The instructions here tell you how to set it up: http://help.loyalzoo.com/marketing-to-your-customers/setting-up-double-points

    In terms of Birthday offers we plan to have this as a feature for you Q1/19

    Enjoy!

    It has been really good to engage with new customers and regular ones, without complications on setting it up. It has been really helpful to be able to have a clear picture of people coming back.

    Pros

    Very easy to set up and use. The team behind Loyalzoo have been amazing help and quick to solve any enquiries. Very straight forward for customers and for us as a business to create rewards & implement them straight away, encouraging people to come back.

    Cons

    It is really good overall. Maybe just a bit more of functionality on data export and member management, specially with our integration with our till system & online sales so that the campaings can be sent separately but from the same back end - flexibility on audience targeting functionality I would say is something that would be interesting to add when creating a campaign.

    Increased customer visitorship and engagement

    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.

    Perfect rewards program for businesses

    My previous rewards program was a ok, but kept trying to up sell me with programs and offerings that didn't work for my business customers and or cost to much. Eventually they were going to more than double the cost. I found Loyalzoo and it has been nothing but great. They were super responsive during the switch over and the system has worked seamlessly. Nothing but good words for Loyalzoo. If thinking about switching or starting a system definitely go with Loyalzoo. It will be worth it. They also offer scalable programs to serve you as you want to expand or try new things with your program. I have not gone beyond the basic package, but love it.

    Pros

    The process of switching my previous system to Loyalzoo was so so easy. They worked with me, with real people helping, to get my customers ported over. Seamless!!!
    The software was easy to put on multiple computers and the employees picked it up super quick. Nothing but good words for Loyalzoo. I am not paid to say this!!

    Cons

    Had Loyalzoo for about a year and I can't think of a problem with the software. The method of getting quick help works extremely well. I only had to use it early on, when I had a question or two.

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Jason,

    Many thanks for your super kind words!!!
    Cheers,

    Pros

    That it just needs a name and phone number. Our customers love that they do not have to give a ton of information to sign up.

    Cons

    It can be glitchy at times. When trying to merge or delete customers it doesn't always work. It also has problems with adding points in at times. I don't like the animal cartoons instead of pictures now either.

    Response from Loyalzoo

    Hey Madison, thanks for the feedback! We are currently working on a better merge/delete function which will be available in the dashboard area soon, so we'll let you know once it's released :)

    Customer profile pictures are still available as long as the customer checks-in using their Facebook profile. We implemented the animals to help you further identify your customers who didn't check-in with that facility. If you need any assistance with the above or to provide any further feedback feel free to reach us on [email protected]
