Find out how targeted loyalty rewards can help cafés, salons and other local businesses increase visits during quieter periods.
Most businesses experience quieter days or hours. A café may be busy in the morning but slow during the afternoon, while a salon may have appointment gaps during the week.
Loyalty rewards can help influence when customers choose to visit.
Offer rewards at strategic times
Businesses could provide an extra digital stamp during selected hours or offer a special reward for weekday visits.
The incentive does not need to be large. It simply needs to make a quieter time more attractive.
Avoid training customers to expect discounts
Rather than reducing prices every week, consider bonus progress towards an existing loyalty reward.
This maintains the value of your products while still encouraging customers to change their usual routine.
Measure the response
Review whether the campaign increases visits during the intended period. If it does not, adjust the reward, timing or promotion.

A loyalty programme can support more consistent customer traffic when rewards are used strategically.
