Did you know that customer loyalty programs operate based on the well-founded notion that it is less expensive to keep a current customer than to find a new one.  Providing rewards in the form of points, cash back, and discounts on merchandise can help achieve that goal.  The use of loyalty programs — long the purview of retail chains, credit card companies, and airlines — is now well within the reach of small businesses.

Customer Loyalty Program Benefits
There are several reasons why small businesses should consider implementing a loyalty rewards program.

• Increases repeat customers. Loyalty programs can lead to an increase in repeat customers, which could boost revenue.  A study by BIA/Kelsey and Manta found that a repeat customer spends 67 percent more than a new one.
  
  
• Puts you ahead of the competition.  A loyalty program can give your business an edge over competitors who fail to offer similar incentives.
  
  
• Loyalty programs are cost-effective.  Many loyalty programs geared to small businesses cost very little. Companies like Belly and Punchcard (discussed below) have subscription fees that start at less than $100.00 per month.
  
  
• Established marketing tactic. Loyalty programs have been around for decades, and the advantages are well known.  Remember S&H Green Stamps? Once the largest loyalty program in history, it still exists in the form of S&H Greenpoints, a digital reincarnation of the original.
  
  
• Digital programs track customer data.  Digital loyalty systems automatically track and store customer purchase activity in a database, making it much easier to determine the program’s effectiveness than when using old-fashioned, paper-based schemes (e.g., punch cards or stamps), which can be difficult to monitor.

With these benefits in mind, perhaps it’s time for you to consider putting a loyalty program into action.  Years ago, Groupon-type deals were popular with small businesses — but there was a downside.  

Often, deals were so deeply discounted that they cost the merchant money rather than the other way around.  It soon became apparent that shoppers were more loyal to the deal than to the business.  Without a retention plan in place, few saw repeat customers.  Just because you have a loyalty program does not mean it will succeed.  You need to keep it at the forefront of your customers’ minds.  And Baytech can recommend several easy and fast ways to do so.

Creating mobile loyalty programs that use apps and text messaging is a way to take advantage of the steady rise in mobile device use and to connect with the ever elusive "younger generation".

More than 90 percent of all text messages are opened and read within five minutes or less. And tons of small-business owners are ready to write their Short Message Service (SMS) success stories.

Let me give you a piece of advice: If you're stuck on old-school methods, you'll struggle with SMS. This is a tactic for modern-day business owners. If you want to give text-message marketing a try but don't know where to start, check out this 30 free trial.

Don't ramble.There's a character limit for a reason. People don't want to receive a 300-word text blast from you. Don't feel too bad: They don't want a manifesto from any business. They just want an awesome offer with simple redemption instructions. So get right to the point. Open with the offer, and finish with a call to action. Unnecessary fluff only will distract your subscriber and result in lower redemption rates.

Planning Your Mobile Marketing Strategy

Include an irresistible offer or exclusive piece of information.Don't fire out a "Hey, what's up?" text. Remember, you're marketing your business, not trying to make friends. Keep it professional by limiting the amount of conversational language and focusing solely on the promotion. Your subscribers opted in expecting regular promotions, not a top-of-the-morning greeting.

Pay attention to time of day.Don't send promotions at 10 p.m. Unless you own a nightclub or munchie paradise, launch your text campaigns during daylight hours. This gives people time to read and act on your offer. Always include a semi-urgent call to action, but give subscribers a reasonable window of time to redeem. People have schedules to keep. Your offers might not be their No. 1 priority, so give them ample time to act on the promotion or you'll risk becoming irrelevant to their daily needs. Related: 5 SMS Marketing Tips for Small Businesses

Keep your customers at the forefront.Make sure to keep customers' wants and needs in mind as you develop offers. Don't use text messaging as an outlet to discount your closeout inventory. Subscribers want to receive exclusive VIP deals, not backburner promotions. Give them the best of the best.

When you sit down with your staff to brainstorm irresistible promotions, get feedback from customer-support representatives. Talk to your inventory manager about which high-profile or in-demand products you can afford to discount. Finally, keep everyone in the loop. Gather relevant opinions so you can make the most informed decision. Above all else, know your customers. Related: Here's Why SMS Marketing is Literally the Best Idea Ever

Text-message marketing isn't going anywhere. It's a permanent solution that's also great for small-business owners looking to market on a budget. Think of the last time you didn't open a text message. At least for me, it was the first day of never. That's why most businesses find success using this method.
​
Always remember text marketing is a permission-based method. If people haven't opted in to your list, you can't text them with offers. Doing so could result in legal ramifications. Abide by the regulations in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and you'll be just fine.
