What’s a loyalty program? A loyalty program is an incentive initiative, offering rewards in exchange for repeat business, referrals and engagement.

As a marketing tool, a loyalty rewards program can be a highly effective way to promote your studio, increase brand awareness, and attract new visitors.
How does a loyalty rewards program work? Well, there are a few different types of programs you can choose from (think a points system, a tiered set-up, or a fee-based or cash-back programs).
A word to the wise: it’s important to take a look at which program would best suit your business and the needs of your clients. What are your clients looking for? What would motivate them to participate in your program? Answer that question and you’re ready to get started!
