Feature in Focus: Engagement Tools

As marketers, our intention for any loyalty programme is to engage our customers in ways that surprise and delight them – whether it’s to reassure them that their loyalty is appreciated, or simply interact with them in a way that might brighten up their busy day.

At Liquid Barcodes – our entire business is driven by a goal to truly captivate customers, and we’ve built a suite of tools to achieve exactly that. Below are our four features dedicated to ensuring your programme keeps inspiring your users.

Engagement Tools

  1. Games. Liquid Barcodes’ live loyalty platform boasts a suite of sixteen games that allow you to achieve your engagement KPIs effortlessly. It is no doubt the most popular engagement tool. Our favorites include the well-known concepts of the “wheel of fortune” and digital “scratch and win” games – and our customer success team can support you in building compelling games that meet your marketing objectives. Games of chance (or probability) need to be set up so that your players have a good chance to win whether you’re offering points, prize coupons or partner products. Games are also an incredibly effective way to launch new products – in the same way as sampling campaigns were in the past. In addition to these “probability games”, our platform includes “performance games” where members compete in a challenge to achieve points or prizes. These performance games are more demanding, but even more rewarding.

Engagement Tool Example: Game

Scratch and Win” is one of the most popular games on Liquid Barcodes Live Loyalty Platform

2. Select Prize: To really delight your customers, why not allow them the flexibility to choose their own prize rather than just awarding the same prize to everyone who wins? The range of prizes should feature different options of a similar value, and allowing them to “select” their favourite flavour or category will help you understand who enjoys what, for example, they can choose between a salad or a sandwich. For those who are lucky enough to win the game, you know for sure they are being rewarded in a way that they enjoy, and you also get to set the probability of winning – anything up to 100% (which is perfect for members of your most valuable segment).

Engagement Tool Example : Select PrizeWith our unique “select prize” game, the winner chooses the prize even before she plays!

3. Surveys: Another loyalty engagement tool on our platform that’s super easy to use – with a “wizard” function that allows you to effortlessly improve your knowledge and your programme over time. Ask your customers to rate your programme or your store, or simply incentivise them to add their personal data over time. This incremental approach to improving your base and customer profiles is one of the most effective ways you can collect powerful insights – in a way your customers enjoy. Anyone who takes part can earn either points or coupons.

Engagement Tool : SurveySurvey your loyal customers for ongoing digital insights

4. Product Rating: This is an incredibly useful engagement tool- particularly when you’re launching new products or flavours of an existing product. Products can be given for free or simply discounted, with a clear request to rate the product on a scale of say 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 after they’ve enjoyed it.

Engagement Tool Example: RatingDelight your customers by asking for their input on your product’s taste and quality.

As you can see, our live loyalty platform is designed to be simple for you to use and fun for your members to enjoy. If you are not yet using all of our engaging tools, games and features to drive your customer loyalty, contact us now and our customer success team will be delighted to help you leverage even more of our most popular wizards and enjoy our platform’s powerful potential to the full.
