Evidence, with context

Loyalty has a rationale.
Results need measurement.

−20%

shorter time between purchases

In a café study of redeemed cards: the average first-to-last observed purchase interval shortened as customers approached a reward. This is not an increase in total footfall.

These are external studies, not StampiGram results. A verified StampiGram uplift is not yet available; a venue pilot needs its own measurement.

Choose your mechanism

Not every goal
needs a discount.

Start with the behaviour you want to encourage. Then choose the mechanism, and only then decide the reward.

Loyalty mechanism comparison
MechanismWhen to consider itWhat the guest seesWhat to check
Stamp cardRegular purchases and a clear path to a rewardProgress: stamps earned and stamps remainingReward threshold, eligible purchases and reward cost
CouponA specific reason for a first or return visitAn offer, its expiry and redemption rulesRestrictions, contribution and displacement of existing demand
Discount cardAn ongoing benefit under defined conditionsDiscount value and the terms for using itUsage frequency and the cumulative cost of discounts
Gift certificateGifting and introducing someone to your venueFace value, expiry and redemption termsRemaining balance, top-ups, refunds and supported workflows

Mechanisms can work together. For your first pilot, one clear hypothesis is easier to evaluate.

Economics before launch

Run the numbers.
Then run the program.

Enter a scenario for additional paid visits. See the contribution after rewards and expenses without assuming guaranteed growth.

Additional monthly contribution

80 USD
Additional revenue
400 USD
Rewards and expenses
160 USD
Visits to cover these costs
27

Visits × paid check × margin − all rewards × reward cost − program expenses.

An example, not a forecast. Initial values are illustrative. Include service fees, messages, setup and staff time in expenses. Do not subtract discounts again if they are already reflected in the paid check.

What does StampiGram cost?

Packages cost $15, $20 and $50. We will discuss locations, workflows and pilot scope, then agree on costs and included services before onboarding.
