Customer Loyalty
As we all know, an integral part of your business is your customer base. Why not repay
them for helping to make your store a success and remaining loyal to you! One of the
goals of managing a successful business is to capture as much customer information as
possible at the point of sale. Once customer information is captured, invaluable data
is gathered and presented in a way that you can easily understand. From their buying
trends, purchasing history, and profitability of customers are just a few important tools
that will quickly develop, making your future ordering easier and more accurate. TallySoft®
has developed several means to keep your customers coming back on a consistent basis in
order to make your shop the “go to place” for your market.
TallyCards
TallyCards feature your company logo(s) and are processed through the system. This means
that there are no third party swipe fees when programmed or redeemed. In addition, there
are no monthly fees for the TallyCard program. There is a one-time initial setup fee for
the first design and a minimal secondary fee for additional designs. Each card printed is
printed at a low cost with a 50 card minimum order quantity. Both Gift and Merchandise
credit cards can be set up to print a second receipt similar to a credit card sale. This
way, if there are any problems with the card, the recipient has proof-of-purchase. TallyCards
can be set up for the following uses:
Gift Cards
Gift cards are a terrific way to keep customers coming back to your store (and act as free
advertisement from their wallet!). Once a card is sold, it can be used in any of your store
locations and will function as a debit card until the balance reaches zero. After reaching
a zero balance, the card can then be recharged and sold to another customer. If a customer
would like to add funds to the card, they can do so at any time. Gift cards can be created
at the time of purchase or predefined and sold in incremental values.
Merchandise/Store Credit
Issuing a store credit card is as easy as tendering a sale to cash. Simply choose the
return/refund button and scan the product(s) being returned. Swipe the Merchandise
Credit card and hand the card over to the customer to be used towards their next purchase.
Member Cards
Member cards are an easy way to attach a customer to the sale by swiping their card. In
addition to capturing their information for each purchase, the register will also recognize
any predefined discounts issued to the customer, saving the cashier valuable time. An example
might be a ski team that receives a discount on equipment and/or lift tickets.
3rd Party Gift Cards
If your company needs or is already using a 3rd party gift card program, we support those as well
through our credit card authorization server process.
Bonus Bucks
Many companies today are allocating a point value to a product for future customer
purchasing power. TallySoft® has created an optional program called Bonus Bucks, which
will accumulate on each customer purchase. You set the percentage or dollar value for
each product and let the customers spend their accrued points as one way of paying them
back for their loyalty to you. Total earned points are printed on each receipt so the
customer can easily see how much they have earned in your store.
