Starbucks became an absolute powerhouse in the coffee industry by pulling off a seriously smart marketing strategy. They tossed aside all those old-fashioned marketing methods, like email, and instead went full throttle with their Starbucks Rewards program to connect with customers and build an army of loyal regulars.
And now, because with the brand-spanking-new Merchant Manager and "Owner Mode" on the joe Coffee App, small businesses like yours can get in on the action too! That's right, you can enjoy all the modern marketing capabilities that Starbucks has, right from the palm of your hand. Because, let's be real, coffee shop owners always on the go!
Rewards Card Deals to incentivize loyal customers to dedicate their coffee budget
Rewards cards are an excellent tool to attract new customers and introduce them to your coffee shop. But the real benefits come when they input their phone number and become a member of your rewards program, unlocking additional incentives like Deals.
This is a fantastic perk for small businesses, especially during the holiday season, as coffee shop owners receive the cash upfront. With the Deals feature, you can now encourage customers to support local businesses by dedicating their coffee budget to your shop. From your merchant manager, you can set a "deal amount" when loyal customers upload funds to their store-specific account.
For example, reward your customers with $75 when they upload $60
Market directly to consumers through Automated Campaigns
Coffee shop owners and customers are always on the go, so why waste time crafting marketing emails that won't be effective? The most successful marketing strategy, used by industry leaders like Starbucks, is to meet customers where they are - on their phones.
That's why our new "Campaigns" tool follows the same strategy and puts you in control.
From the Marketing tab of your joe Merchant Manager, coffee shop owners will be able to craft Automatic campaigns to reengage their customers.
