Want Loyal Customers? Free Trial With Retail Bucks
What is Retail Bucks?
Until now many small stores try to use a punch card reward system, where for each purchase at the store they make a punch in the card and when the customer gets up to 10 to 15 punches, they get something free, usually amounting to about 5 or 10% of the total previous purchases. However, the customer has to remember to bring in the card, and many do not. Also this does not give the customer incentive to refer friends to the store.
With retail bucks the store owner or clerk simply puts in the email address of their customer when they make a purchase, into the Retail Bucks website, and the sale is automatically tracked for both the customer and the store owner. No need for the customer to remember to bring a punch card with them to the store. The customer at their leisure at home can log into the Retail Bucks website to see how many Retail Bucks they have earned for each of the stores they shop at.
The store owner decides what percentage of the purchases they will allow to go towards Retail Bucks. If the store owner allows 5% for the person shopping, and then 5% for the person that referred the shopper, the store would be allowing 10% of all purchases to go towards retail bucks.
And here is a bit of another lesson with business fundamentals. When this 10% is redeemed at the store with the Retail Bucks, it does not really cost the store owner 10%. If the store owner's gross margin of profit is 33%, then the Retail Bucks only cost the store about 7% of gross sales. If the store owner's gross margin of profit is 50%, then the Retail Bucks only cost the store about 5% of gross sales. The store owner can decide on what percentage they are comfortable with.
