If you want to create and launch your own loyalty program, you need to analyse the available data on your target demographic.
Find out how they behave and other data that might aid you in understanding them. You may want to set-up a system where customers can leave important information such as their average spend, frequency of visits and contact details. It would be helpful to find out when your customers visit, how they pay, what the most popular items on your menu are and what kind of deals engage them. You can use this data to know where your loyalty program should focus on or where you need to drive sales to.
While setting up a loyalty program can already feel like an achievement because of all the planning, design and staff meetings it entails to perfect the structure; you still need to give it constant attention for it to work effectively. You need to push out the program through different marketing channels because it won’t engage or progress on its own.

Remember that you need to allocate enough time, money and energy to implement a highly functioning loyalty program.
Customers do not like badly organised or badly handled loyalty programs. According to research, customers do not return to businesses because of the lack of understanding in terms of their requests, the lack of update throughout the experience, and the lack of explanation about the work carried out.
Make sure that your loyalty program will be an asset, not a liability.
If it stalls, confuses or wastes customer time, you will risk losing them. You should have the capital to involve designers and marketers and maintain the program a few hours a week yourself. The loyalty program must be simple, without the need for too many steps before your customer can join. It will also be helpful if it is connected to your point-of-sale checkpoints to avoid disrupting their experience. If you make it easy, they will enjoy it rather than be annoyed by it.
Your loyalty program should also have its own name for memory retention and branding.
It is different from a special offer, so communicate key value points to your customers and utilise social media platforms to reach your audience. Seek the opinion of your long-time customers and staff before going public.
Invest in a high-quality program and create a pattern of return customers. Track their spending patterns and open communication lines with them. Keep in mind that a successful loyalty program can bring in more profits, so throw in a worthy offer and just earn back the small losses when discounting.
