Loyalty, gift cards and referrals

Gift cards and loyalty programs for farms and food makers

Food is a repeat business, and gift cards bring in cash before the product leaves the shelf. We set up gift cards that work online and at the stand, a simple loyalty program and a referral offer.

Loyalty

One punch card for online and the market

Purchases at the stand and in your store count toward the same reward, with nothing to lose in a wallet.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You want December cash in November
  • Your regulars would refer friends if you asked
  • Punch cards are getting lost

Questions

Can one gift card work online and at the farmers market?

Yes, when the store and the register share a system, such as Shopify with Shopify POS or Square with Square Online. We set it up so the balance is the same in both places.

What is the best loyalty app for a small food business?

Square Loyalty if you sell mostly in person, Smile.io or a similar app if you sell mostly on Shopify. A simple visit-based reward works better than points for most stands.

Do referral programs work for food?

They work when the reward is something regulars want and the code is easy to share. We keep it to one clear offer.
