Why start with a loyalty program?

There are three main reasons why you should start a loyalty program. In fact, we would say that you cannot afford to wait, and that you’d better start as soon as possible – whether it is with Diller® or not.

1. Sell ​​MORE for less
  • A customer loyalty program makes it much easier to get customer back to the store, so that they shop again and again… and again.
  • Marketing is expensive. Loyalty programs help reduce costs significantly, since you don’t have to spend money on getting new customers all the time.
  • A loyalty program gives you access to customers when they are on their phones, not only when they are in your store.
  • Diller’s efficient and affordable customer club enables SMEs to compete with large chains and Amazon.

Did you know that… if you keep 5% more customers, profits increase by as much as 25% -95%? (Harvard Business School) 

2. Get the crucial GDPR consent automatically
  • The store CANNOT communicate with their customers without consent.
  • A GDRP-compliant consent through the loyalty program membership is most valuable asset for SMB companies.
  • A member of Diller® automatically gives their consent, which means that the stores have the right to have direct and recurring dialogue with them. In other words, the stores get access to their customer base.

Did you know that… Tarte Cosmetics rewarded members for being engaged, not just for purchases – and profitably so. Loyalty members made up 44% of revenue despite only making up 21% of the client base.

3. Know your customers and be relevant to them 
  • Customers’ interests and purchase patterns can easily be analyzed in Diller®. This means that stores can run targeted, personalized and relevant campaigns that create more loyal and happy customers.
  • Loyalty programs make it simpler to convert single purchases to repetition sales = increased lifetime value.
  • Diller® helps keep competition at bay.

Did you know that… the probability of selling to an existing customer is between 60-70%, while that of a new customer is only between 5-20%? (Marketing Metrics)

Customers appreciate stores that do their utmost to create a great shopping experience. Good benefits, offers and promotions can attract new and existing customers into the store. If you analyze what they buy and what they are interested in, you can create relevant campaigns based on customer behavior and preferences.

"A large proportion of those who shop are members of the loyalty program. I have no doubt that much of the growth is due to increased loyalty from members. I am sure it's an important factor."

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

"I would never buy a cash register system without an integrated loyalty program. For me, it was essential to have a good loyalty program included in the POS."

Maria Quarnström

Owner, Rilo Zoo

"We recently startet using Diller and are very pleased with the app. It is easy and understandable to use, and it has already generated more customers and sales. 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 :)"

"We see great results from the loyalty program. The immediate feedback comes from employees in the store, who notice that customers enter the stores only 5-10 minutes after we send out an SMS."

Stine Handley

Head of Administration, Fredrik & Louisa

"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

Head of Marketing, PetXL

"I searched the web for suppliers and found Diller that way. They have everything I need in a loyalty program, and for me, it was an added advantage that it is a Norwegian company."

Hans Hvinden

General manager, Hageglede.no

"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!"

Heidi Andersen

Store Manager, Coco Skien

"The big advantage of the 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 it more."
