Loyalty program manager in easy steps

Reviewed on 08/09/2022

Pros

Not only did FiveStars help us design and sustain our loyalty scheme, but they also kept an eye on consumer experience to ensure that each new client becomes a recurrence. In other words, it's a snap to use. Consumers utilize tablets to sign up for our loyalty program, and when they do, we can send them upscale offers and deals to encourage them to purchase with us again and again.

Cons

A monthly subscription price is offered. The installation kit is included in the price, although it's not frugal. Actual results may not be presently apparent if you aren't proactive in your marketing efforts.

The word Excellent sums it up

Reviewed on 05/09/2024

Pros

This software is awesome. My customers love being able to tap their cards in order to make payments. The tap and go feature is extremely convenient when I am at craft fairs or outdoor vending events. No more keeping money in a pouch.

Cons

Sometimes the payments go through an additional layer of verification, which is understandable but can sometimes be a strain on a small business.

Pros

Ease of use, stable and the added bonus of a sim installed for external use.

Cons

We opted for the basic card reader and charger which functioned excellently during our early days at our busy little cafe. When attempting to opt for a POS system, we found a little resistance and limited customer service.

Pros

The slick integration between EPOS and card payments, stock control, goodeats and reporting. The customisation options and intuitive interface are a lot slicker than other systems we've used.

Cons

We've found that some of the custom payment and cheque options including custom service charge amounts is slightly clunkier than other systems we've used.

Alternatives Considered

Revel Systems

Reasons for Choosing SumUp

We moved to a cashless system during the pandemic and required an online payment option for customers to pay safely whilst social distancing at our venues. Our previous card reader supplier was also incredible stressful and unreliable.

Reasons for Switching to SumUp

Good software that rewards its customers

Reviewed on 28/11/2023

Pros

Loyalty programs strengthen the relationship between customers and the company, enticing customers to return to enjoy the rewards. By offering incentives, these programs encourage customers to make repeat purchases, which can contribute to sales growth. Loyalty programs allow businesses to collect data on customer purchasing preferences and habits, providing thus useful information to personalize offers better understanding customers, companies can target their marketing efforts more precisely, thus improving the effectiveness of their campaigns.

Cons

Setting up and managing a loyalty program may incur costs, particularly for issuing rewards, managing the associated technology and promoting the program.
Programs that are too complex can discourage customer participation if they find it difficult to understand the rules or keep track of their rewards. Some customers might be loyal primarily because of rewards, which can make loyalty less stable if rewards are changed or removed. In some industries, many loyalty programs coexist, which can dilute the impact of each and make differentiation more difficult.

Be wary of fault developing after warranty ends

Reviewed on 15/05/2024

Pros

It worked for a year, used very sporadically for charity events so we expected it to last.

Cons

It developed an error just outside of warranty - customer service refuse to help so we have wasted valuable charity funds on a reader used less than 10 times and now have to buy another. Poor quality, poor service, means our precious funds have gone to sum up instead of helping children so we're gutted.

Its a large buy in and not great customer service once you have signed up. It was all about the sale then hard to get any support. overall harder for small businesses than many other options out there.

Pros

The idea of this software is great. An easy effective way to start a a rewards program for your clients.

Cons

They sell you on their network. X amount of vendors and members in your area also use this software so they will market your business to these users and expand your reach offering deals to people that would be new clients to you. What the sales people forget to mention is that you will not be a part of this feature unless you sign up X amount of new users per week. Problem for my business is we have a large repeat clientele so hitting this large number to receive expanded marketing was not viable.

I signed up with 5 stars to help with repeat traffic in my resale store. It started out pretty good until we needed to make changes to customers accounts. Phone numbers could not be changed by us. Customers were frustrated because some people do change numbers. They ask me to give them name and numbers to be changed and they would do it on their end. Once i gave them the numbers they said it was too many to change.

The system would go down or Freeze on several occasions and every time they would call it was hard to get through and when we did they said the would look in to it and call us back. Most of the time they would never call back.

We would type in a customers phone number and someone else name would come up. Causing confusion.

I have customers complain including my self (business owner) that could not receive emails or text messages. They said they would look in to it. I ended up giving them another email because they didn't know why.

It began to get hard for my employees to call for support because they would be on the phone a very long time for Fivestars to say the cant fix our problem but will look in to it and call back. They would not call back and we would have to start over calling.

This was suppose to help my business, but when customers can not receive the emails, text or change phone numbers, they get mad.

After 2 years of trying to make this work with them i told them i wanted to cancel my service. They ask why i told them to look at my file and see all the problems i have had that they couldn't fix. He looked and said yes he understood. A few days later i got a call from Fivestars saying they think they have fixed most of my problems and they would drop my monthly fee by about $75. At this point i told them i do not trust them and wouldn't use them if it was FREE.
