Loyalty programs have long been a staple for small businesses looking to build strong customer relationships. Traditionally, customers collect paper punch cards or digital points, but what if there was a more seamless, rewarding, and engaging way to incentivize repeat business? Campaigns makes it possible for any business to issue their own custom tokens and create a frictionless loyalty program that customers can join in seconds.

Coffee Shop Loyalty "Bonus"

How It Works: QR Codes, Instant Claims & Real Rewards
With Campaigns, small businesses can launch a Quick Claim campaign that allows customers to instantly earn custom tokens in exchange for their purchases. Here’s how it works:

  1. The Business Issues a Custom Token – Businesses create their own token, unique to their brand. For example, Coffee Guy issues COFF Tokens for customers to earn and redeem in-store.
  2. Customers Scan a QR Code at Checkout – After making a purchase, customers simply scan a QR code displayed at the counter to instantly claim their reward.
  3. Tokens Are Instantly Added to Their Wallet – No app download required! Customers claim their tokens directly in their browser, allowing for a seamless experience.
  4. Discover Redeemable Rewards – As soon as a customer claims their tokens, they can view the merchant’s Campaigns store, where they can spend their tokens on products, discounts, or exclusive offers.

Coffee Guy’s Loyalty Program

Imagine stepping into Coffee Guy's cozy neighborhood café and ordering your favorite latte.

  • No more paper punch cards—just scan a QR code at the register and instantly receive COFF Tokens in your digital wallet.
  • Right after claiming your COFF Tokens, you’ll see the Coffee Guy Store right next to your wallet. Here, all available rewards are clearly listed with their token prices—like a free coffee for 10 COFF Tokens or a coffee and croissant bundle for 20 COFF Tokens. You can instantly choose what to redeem, keeping the entire experience smooth and rewarding in one seamless flow.
  • With every purchase, you earn more COFF Tokens, and once you’ve saved enough, simply add your reward to your cart and place your order—no hassle, no paper tracking.
  • Coffee Guy instantly gets notified of your order, making the process seamless for both you and the café.

Why Small Businesses Love This Model

Beyond just rewarding purchases, businesses can make the experience even more engaging. A coffee shop, for example, can run lotteries, quizzes, or polls to keep customers involved, making the loyalty program not just rewarding but also fun and interactive.

  • Frictionless for Customers – No need to sign up or install an app; a simple QR scan gets them started.
  • Increases Repeat Business – Customers are incentivized to return and collect more tokens to redeem valuable rewards.
  • Customizable & Brandable – Businesses can name their tokens and create unique redemption options that match their brand.
  • Instant Redemption – Customers see their available rewards immediately and can use their tokens right away.

The Future of Loyalty is Here

Campaigns modernizes the traditional loyalty program by turning it into an interactive and rewarding experience. Whether you run a coffee shop, bakery, or boutique, issuing custom tokens allows you to build stronger customer relationships while offering a seamless way to reward loyalty.
