When we built Tech on Toast we wanted to foster a sense of community which would set our brand apart.
Operators are asked to attend events, take part in content creation both for suppliers and for the industry and its important that they are rewarded for doing so. We all talk about the lack of capacity at operators disposal to support outside of their roles, but rarely do we reward them or our partners.
We have partnered with Piggy, to build our rewards programme, Earn As You Learn.
We will share more over the next few weeks but before we do what's the point in a reward or loyalty programme ?
A well-crafted loyalty program goes beyond rewarding transactions; it becomes the backbone of a strong and enduring community.
Understanding Customer Needs:A loyalty program acts as a two-way street. It's not just about offering discounts; it's about understanding your customers' preferences. Collect data on their buying patterns, feedback, and engagement. Use this information to tailor personalised rewards and experiences, creating a connection that goes beyond the transactional.
Exclusive Benefits and Recognition:Offer exclusive perks to your loyal customers. Whether it's early access to promotions, members-only events, or personalised recognition, these benefits make customers feel valued. Recognition is a powerful tool; by acknowledging their loyalty, you solidify their sense of belonging.

Community Engagement Initiatives:Extend your loyalty program beyond transactions. Engage your community through social media, forums, or events. Encourage members to share their experiences and connect with each other. This not only strengthens their bond with your brand but also creates a network of brand advocates.
Feedback Loops for Improvement:Create channels within your loyalty program for feedback. Whether through surveys or direct communication, show your customers that their opinions matter. Use this feedback to improve your offerings and demonstrate your commitment to meeting their evolving needs.
Long-Term Relationship Building:A loyalty program is a commitment to a long-term relationship. It's about growing together. Keep your community informed about upcoming developments, seek their input, and involve them in your brand story. This not only builds loyalty but transforms customers into brand ambassadors.
A loyalty program is not just about discounts; it's a tool for community building. By understanding your customers, offering exclusive benefits, engaging beyond transactions, seeking feedback, and fostering long-term relationships, you can build a resilient community that stands by your brand through thick and thin.
