These programs often prove more cost-effective than traditional advertising methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In this guide, we&#8217;ll explain how to implement successful referral and loyalty programs, illustrated with an example from a client known as <strong>FlexGym<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting Up a Referral Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FlexGym has effectively engaged its existing clientele in a referral initiative. Here\u2019s how it works: when a current client refers someone new, they receive a 5% cashback on their bonus account. This virtual currency can then be used for future session payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, cashback rewards accrue not only for the referral but also for every session the new client attends. If a client refers enough new customers, they could potentially train for free. Additionally, new clients are welcomed with an initial bonus of <strong>$100<\/strong> credited to their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To initiate such a program, navigate to the <strong>\u201cLoyalty\u201d -&gt; \u201cReferral program\u201d<\/strong> section and complete the necessary fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developing a Loyalty Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to design a compelling loyalty program that offers valuable bonuses, encouraging customers to stay rather than switch to competitors. FlexGym has utilized the full spectrum of loyalty options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cumulative Cashback<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Clients earn cashback on every payment made towards workouts, with the percentage varying from <strong>3% to 15%<\/strong> based on the total spent. This cashback accumulates on a bonus card, which can be used to cover up to <strong>50%<\/strong> of subsequent session costs, with a minimum spend of <strong>$50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training Memberships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>FlexGym offers more economical options through training memberships compared to single-session payments. These memberships, such as a <strong>5-session membership<\/strong> valid for 90 days and a <strong>10-session membership<\/strong> valid for 180 days, offer a reduced rate per session, providing both savings and an incentive for frequent visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gift Cards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in denominations of <strong>$20, $50, and $100<\/strong>, these cards can be purchased and given as gifts. They remain valid for 180 days from the purchase date and are redeemable in a single transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trial Sessions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing that potential clients may need more than reviews and recommendations, FlexGym offers <strong>trial sessions at a 50% discount<\/strong>. This allows newcomers to experience a workout firsthand and decide if the gym meets their needs.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FlexGym\u2019s case demonstrates how <strong>Altegio<\/strong> can be used to establish and manage a comprehensive customer loyalty program effectively. All settings can be configured under the <strong>\u201cLoyalty\u201d<\/strong> section of the Altegio chain interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how referral and loyalty programs can boost your customer base and enhance retention.
