What is a customer rewards app?

A customer rewards application is a web or mobile app that enables retailers to reward their loyal customers. The app may include various features, such as: A “loyalty” program for users to earn points in exchange for purchases. These programs typically offer discounts on future purchases and other incentives. In some cases, they also provide access to exclusive content or promotions available only to members of the loyalty program. An online store from which users can purchase products directly from the retailer without having to visit physical stores. This feature provides convenience for both retailers and shoppers alike, since users can order products at any time of day or night and do not have to wait in line at checkout counters. Also, it allows retailers to reduce staffing costs by reducing the number of cashiers needed in-store, which frees up employees’ time for more important tasks Loyalty rewards apps have similar features to loyalty point apps and are often used in conjunction with other retail-related apps, such as mobile wallet apps, discount coupon apps, and shopping list apps. Examples of customer rewards applications include Target’s Cartwheel, Dunkin Donuts’ DD Perks, and Chipotle’s Chiptopia. Examples of customer rewards apps built with Crowdbotics:

How to successfully grow your customer rewards application

A customer rewards app can grow by attracting new customers through a strong referral program. Customer rewards apps often offer free services in exchange for the customer inviting their friends to use the app. This is a good strategy for growing customer loyalty because it provides users with incentives to share information about the app with other people who they know. In addition, these apps also provide rewards for customers when they engage in repeat usage.

Risks and challenges of building a customer rewards application

A customer rewards app faces many of the same legal risks as a ridesharing app. Before creating a rewards app, you will want to ensure that you can meet all of the legislative requirements for rewards apps in your target market. You will also want to ensure that your app has feedback mechanisms in place (such as ID verification) to ensure high driver performance and to protect drivers from abusive rider behavior.
