Create a loyalty program that delights and surprises in 2025

It’s becoming increasingly challenging to retain existing customers while attracting new ones. A successful loyalty program ensures customers feel recognized and valued. Remember, loyalty programs only succeed when members experience benefits they truly appreciate. That’s why it’s crucial to both delight and surprise them.

Delight your customers by:

  • Offering consistent benefits: Reward loyal customers with point systems, stamp cards, member-only prices, or other perks.
  • Using direct communication: Use SMS and email marketing to highlight your strengths and send customers relevant offers straight to their inboxes. Show them you understand their needs and preferences.
  • Catering to customer preferences: Listen to what your customers want and understand which benefits they value most. Tailor offers and rewards to appeal directly to them.
  • Encouraging repeat choices: Make it easy for customers to choose you again by offering exclusive perks that motivate repeat purchases.
  • Increasing switching costs: Build loyalty so strong that customers find it hard to consider competitors. Offer incentives that make staying with you worthwhile.

 

Surprise your customers by:

  • Delivering data-driven, relevant communication: Use insights from customers’ purchase histories and interests to create personalized, meaningful experiences for each member.
  • Providing exclusive offers: Reward your most loyal customers with special deals or give them a sneak peek of what they can achieve through the loyalty program.
  • Gaining deeper insights: Talk to your best customers to understand why they choose you and what might encourage them to buy even more. Use this feedback to refine your offers and enhance their experience.

 

Build loyalty that lasts

A loyalty program isn’t just about offering discounts—it’s about creating meaningful connections with your customers. By delighting and surprising them, you can foster stronger relationships, drive repeat purchases, and stand out in a competitive market.

"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."

Evy Ingebrigtsen

Operations and HR Manager, Baker Brun

"Data is the new gold. It is essential that purchase information and customer data form the foundation for all good customer dialogues. Having control over this is in my opinion absolutely crucial."

Pål Wibe

Norway's "Mr Retail" Pål Wibe

"A terrific app that really helps our business to grow together with our customers. Adds value for both us and the customer, a complete customer journey from the physical to the online store."

BMB Paleet

"Thank you very much for the fantastic follow-up when we launched our loyalty program from Diller. You guys made the whole process painless. Looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together. We really recommend Diller AS to anyone that need a loyalty program on the Shopify platform."

Bolina

"Advertising must be planned 2 weeks in advance, but at that time the campaign may be completely irrelevant. With Diller we can turn around and act in no time! We can put out a campaign overnight. This is absolutely invaluable to us."

Tone Tengesdal Stavnheim

What is important to mention is that the customer service is outstanding, and we are getting all the help and support we need! Our contact has been patient and so happy to help and guide in out teams-meetings for the set up :)"

"Very easy to set up the app. It’s perfect for creating a good-looking loyalty program widget, that is customized to my brand and webshop.   Super friendly and helpful support team! They answer very fast and do everything to help you out.  Great experience so far."

Corado Coffee Roasters

"We see that average sales and margins are higher even though we offer a 10% welcome discount. As a customer, you are welcome to bring a little extra in the shopping cart to get the most out of the deal. The goal is for the loyalty program to be the icing on the cake for our customers so that they want to continue shopping with us."

Jon Grøteig Andersen

"We have seen that it is not just discounts that attract customers. For example, when we send out an SMS about new products from one of our brands, traffic to the stores increase, since the members like to get early product information."

Martine Remsøy Romøren

Store manager, Lively

"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!"
