End-to-end customer loyalty & rewards solution

About bLoyal

bLoyal is a cloud-based omnichannel loyalty and rewards program solution which integrates with a range of eCommerce platforms and point of sale (POS) systems. The software is suitable for companies at all stages of business growth and can be used to create and manage customer loyalty programs for in-store, online, phone, and other sales channels.

bLoyal enables users to create a range of flexible and customizable frequent buyer programs, promotions, and offers, with options for loyalty points, electronic punch cards, dollar amount & cashback rewards, tiered award programs, gift card promotions, buy-one-get-one offers, and more. Customers can enroll in programs in-store or online during the checkout process, through website popups, mobile apps, or SMS messages, and over social media. Loyalty program members can be segmented based on any criteria, including demographics, interests, signup method, and preferred store, to deliver personalized, targeted offers and rewards to different market segments.

bLoyal includes a ‘360 CRM’ for customer relationship management, which links customers’ purchases and rewards balances in a single profile, whether they shop in-store, online, over the phone, or through any other channel. Sales transactions from all channels are recorded in real-time, and loyalty program members can log in to complete or update their personal details online. Gift card balances and transactions can also be tracked in the CRM. bLoyal also includes a range of outbound marketing tools, allowing users to create and manage email, SMS, social media, and remarketing campaigns. Custom-branded templates can be used to create email newsletters, event announcements, surveys, exclusive content, promotional campaigns, and more, personalized for each customer, and members can opt-in and out of receiving messages at any time. Real-time engagement metrics give users insight into which campaigns, channels, and techniques are most effective at engaging members.

    Robust Loyalty Platform for Those Looking to Build a Strong Customer Retention Strategy

    bLoyal is a powerful way to build a loyalty marketing programs. The ability to connect to most major eCommerce and POS platforms lowers the barrier on enacting customizable consumer rewards programs. The platform is extremely customizable and supports points, frequent buyer, and subscription programs natively to ensure we're able to communicate the right message and right offer at the right time to each customer based on their journey.

    Pros

    If you're looking for a powerful loyalty marketing program that allows marketers to tap into the full power of customer retention marketing, this is it. It's got all the bells and whistles that marketers hope for and seems to expand weekly.

    Cons

    The setup and onboarding process can be a lot and is almost better tackled in pieces (which they were actually great about) I think this is mostly because they connected our website and our brick and mortar system. Plus, there's a lot of tools. That said, well worth it.

    Reasons for Switching to bLoyal

    Deeper product expertise and one-to-one support.

    Response from Bloyal

    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on bLoyal! We're thrilled to hear that you find our loyalty platform to be a powerful tool for building a strong customer retention strategy. We look forward to continuing to support your business's loyalty marketing initiatives.

    Please avoid doing business with this company.
    I was promised the moon and they fell short on many levels. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in their customer service. I also feel like they were a bit sneaky. I used their frequent buyer program to integrate with Korona. They promised a smooth transition and that they would set up all of the different manufacturers specs that I needed. (It is not intuitive in the least). They did, but they left many things out and got many things wrong which resulted in me having to figure out how to fix it. Reaching out to customer service was awful with stretches of WEEKS before I'd get a reply or any help whatsoever. They would send me cryptic ways of fixing things when it would have been so much better for them to just fix it themselves. There program caused multiple integration issues with Korona and caused me to not be able to use many of the wonderful functions such as coupons and promos. bLoyal didn't record many customer sales and therefore I lost several customers who felt duped because they didn't accrue their free product when they were supposed to. bLoyal was very blase' about the whole situation. Horrible excuses when things didn't work. I had this account for over a year when all of a sudden I notice my rate went up. I reached out to them and they told me that because I had something attached on the back end that I never used, they were charging me for that thing that was not even connected. They did refund me for that and

    Pros

    Extensive reporting features with tons of information.

    Cons

    Customer service takes forever.
    Reports are difficult to figure out.
    They changed my subscription rate several times.
    They often place blame on my POS company for their applications failures.
    They told me it would be a seamless integration and that they would be able to set up my frequent buyer accounts but they did many of them wrong.

    [sensitive content hidden] have been exceptional to work with. They are responsive to my communications, quick to rectify issues, quick to provide me with meeting opportunities, quick to correct mistakes without question or push-back, open to supplying out-of-the box solutions to meet my business needs here in Central America. All our interactions have been professional and friendly. My bLoyal team really helps me to feel like they have my back and they are invested in helping my business to succeed and grow!

    Pros

    This platform has allowed us to create unique developments for our Customer Loyalty program that specifically meet our needs in our market. We operate one of the busiest service stations in the country and focus 99% of our marketing efforts on keeping our current customers happy so that they spread the word for us and continue to build our business!

    Cons

    The Director Platform design is outdated and a bit difficult to navigate, however, the functionality is solid. It took us as few tries to properly integrate the bLoyal developments into the Korona POS system to make them operational, but the bLoyal team worked very closely with us and Korona to get it fixed. There is a few-second time delay when the Korona has to act on a bLoyal action, which can be frustrating at the cashier on busy days.

    We decided to transition to bLoyal primarily because it made managing wine club so much easier and has more data fields than other options making it easier to tailor the membership and orders for customers.

    However, the customer service is extremely disappointing and frustrating. It took around 6 months to get the software live due to lack of communication or activeness from the deployment team at bLoyal. You could almost never get someone on the phone when issues would arrive, so I often was struck trying to figure out solutions on my own until I could schedule to talk to someone. We were promised training and some hand holding for our first club release after the transition, we did not receive either. Weeks after having our deployment was "finished" we still have issues that we are waiting to have addressed.

    Pros

    bLoyal has a lot of great features that make it easy to track your customers and report on their purchase and membership history.

    Cons

    It is not fully integrated with UPS which is hard for a company that ships in-house as we do. The reports pull incorrect or oddly formatted data.
