How To Create A Loyalty Card With ManyChat

Do you have an offline business? Then this is pérfect for you! 🙂

(or otherwise, it’s just a cool example to give you some inspiration)

Yesterday Danny Russell asked me how he could reward loyal customers in his café by using a chatbot.

The old school way you would give them a little card and stamp it every time they come, but what if they could collect points inside your chatbot ánd could send them follow-up reminders if they didn’t come for a while?

This is really supppper powerful and can be used in soooo many ways.

It works like this:

1️⃣ You have a printed card behind the bar with a Messenger Code that they can scan after purchasing a coffee.

2️⃣ Every time they scan the code 1 point will be added to their “score” by using a custom field & an action.

3️⃣ The 10th time, they’ll get a message that the next coffee is on the house by showing the message to the barista. You can do this with a condition that will check if the score is greater than 9 or exactly 10.

4️⃣ Reset the score or just continue and reward them at 10, 20, 30, 40 points. That way you’ll also get an overview of your most loyal customers.

Then…

After step 2 you subscribe them to a sequence that will send a message after 2 weeks saying; “Hey Max, we noticed that you didn’t come by for a while” with maybe a small offer to make them come back.

(watch out with sending promotional content here and give a possibility to opt-out from those reminders)

Every time they scan the code you unsubscribe them from that reminder sequence and subscribe them again to that sequence. That way the 2-week count will start over again ⏳

I think this could be really powerful and Loyalty Cards for a café are just one example for offline businesses.

You can also make guests scan a QR code for the wi-fi password or a little discount for something for example.
