The big advantage of a loyalty program is that it becomes easy to communicate with customers. We see endless possibilities with this in the future and look forward to using the platform even more.

The Buster chain’s experiences with a loyalty program

Buster Hund og Katt is a Norwegian store chain with 8 stores in the Eastern part of Norway and an online store. The Diller crew interviewed General Manager Anders Johan Braaten about the chain’s experiences with setting up a customer club in the autumn of 2020.

Why did you want to start a customer club for the Buster stores?

“The most important thing for us was to get our existing customers into a loyalty program, so that everyone who had used loyalty cards on paper for years were registered into a good system. We never had any communication with the loyalty card customers other than that they got a discount. We did not use the purchase data for anything, as it was not collected in any system. ”

What made you decide to get started?

“We knew very well that we should gather the customers in one system, but it never happened. The problem is always that there is no time to spare. It was Ole Anders Tønsberg in AS Frankering, who is our provider of the cash register system, who told me about Diller and that we could get started quickly. Diller is integrated with PCKasse, with easy registration of members in-store.”

We set a goal that we would get 5000 customers into the new loyalty program in 3 months. We actually ended up getting 8500 member registrations. It exceeded all expectations.

What kind of results have you had so far?

“We see that it has given good results so far. One example is Black Friday in 2020. We previously had little effect of marketing Black Friday deals, as it seems that our industry is drowning in all the big players’ marketing for this day. We thought, however, that we should test it out, since we had a customer club in place. The week before Black Friday was a quiet week, so we sent out an SMS on the Thursday before Black Friday. ”

What we saw was surprising. One SMS led to very busy days in all our stores both Friday and Saturday, and the campaign towards members had a solid effect on the sales numbers.

The big advantage of a loyalty program is that it becomes easy to communicate with customers. We see endless possibilities with this in the future and look forward to using the platform even more.

The solution for Buster Hund og Katt is delivered in close collaboration between AS Frankering & amp; Copy service , PCKasse and Diller.

"All third-party marketing channels are becoming less effective, and we see that it is necessary going forward to own the dialogue with customers. I have no doubt that much of our growth is due to increased loyalty from members."

Kai Gulbrandsen

CEO, Princess retail chain

"The loyalty program button is on the front page of the cash register, so everything is automatic. Our members use the stamp cards and coupons because it’s so easy to use. We see that we get higher sales from members than non-members."

"When customers shop in our store, we ask them if they want to be members and tell them that they get bonus coupons depending on purchase levels, invitations to events and other benefits. Everyone signs up!"
