How I Sell Loyalty Program Setup to Local Businesses (And Earn $250–$800 Per Client)

You’ve probably heard this stat:
It costs 5x more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one.

Local business owners know this too…
But almost none of them have a real system in place to reward loyalty and drive repeat business.

That’s why I started offering Loyalty Program Setup Services—and it’s been a game-changer.

I charge $250 to $800 per setup (sometimes with monthly management on top) and help businesses increase customer retention, referrals, and revenue.

Let me break it down for you 👇

🔹 Why Loyalty Programs Are Essential for Local Businesses

Small businesses live and die by repeat customers.

But without a structured loyalty program, they’re losing: ❌ Lifetime customer value
❌ Word-of-mouth growth
❌ Chances to upsell or cross-sell

A good loyalty program turns a one-time customer into a raving fan who comes back again and again—and brings others with them.

And the beauty is: most local businesses want a program but don’t know how to set it up.

That’s where you come in.

🔹 What I Offer in My Loyalty Program Setup Service

This is a one-time service with optional monthly support, and it’s easy to sell and fulfill.

Here’s what I provide:

✅ Custom Loyalty Program Strategy
– Punch-card, points-based, referral-based, or hybrid
– Tailored to the business model (restaurant vs. salon vs. boutique)

✅ Software Setup & Automation
– Set up using tools like Fivestars, TapMango, Belly, Square Loyalty, or even a custom Google Form/QR code setup

✅ Branded Digital Cards or QR Codes
– For customers to easily join and track their rewards

✅ Promotional Materials
– In-store posters, table tents, or social media graphics to drive sign-ups

✅ Staff Training Guide
– A simple SOP (standard operating procedure) so the team can promote the program consistently

Optional:
✅ Monthly Reporting
✅ Customer Engagement SMS/Email Reminders

🔹 Best Local Businesses to Target

The perfect clients are those with regular foot traffic and repeat purchase potential:

✔️ Cafés and Coffee Shops
✔️ Beauty Salons and Nail Bars
✔️ Car Washes and Auto Detailers
✔️ Pet Groomers
✔️ Restaurants and Bakeries
✔️ Fitness Studios
✔️ Local Retail Stores

If they have regulars and want to grow their base—it’s a fit.

🔹 How I Find and Pitch These Clients

You can find leads on Google Maps, Instagram, or simply by walking into local stores.

Here’s a super simple pitch that works well:

💬 “Hey [Business Name], do you have a loyalty program in place to reward repeat customers? I help small businesses like yours set up automated, branded loyalty programs that increase customer retention and bring in more referrals. Want to see a quick example of what it could look like for you?”

This opens the door to a valuable conversation.
Most owners say something like: “We’ve thought about it, but never got around to it…”
Bingo.

🔹 What I Charge for Loyalty Program Setup

💰 Basic Setup: $250
– Strategy, branded setup, software install (DIY tool like Square or LoyaltyCards app)

💰 Pro Setup: $500
– Includes QR codes, printed promo assets, and customer opt-in form

💰 Premium Setup: $800+
– Includes full branding, SMS/email integration, monthly usage report, and staff SOPs

You can also offer $100–$200/month for ongoing management, promotions, and loyalty email campaigns.

🔹 Tools I Use to Deliver the Service

🧰 Square Loyalty – For existing Square POS users
🧰 Fivestars or TapMango – Full loyalty platforms
🧰 QR Code Generator + Google Sheets – For simple punch-card style tracking
🧰 Canva – For promotional material design
🧰 GoHighLevel – For SMS/email follow-ups

Once you build a few templates, setting these up is fast and easy.

🔹 Want to Start Offering Loyalty Program Services?

This is a simple but high-impact offer that gives local businesses exactly what they need—more returning customers, more referrals, and more revenue.

👉 If you want my loyalty program setup checklist, pitch script, and Canva promo templates, comment “LOYAL” below or DM me. I’ll send you the whole pack for free.

This is low-hanging fruit for anyone looking to grow a local service business fast.
No tech headaches. Just real value. Real money.

Want help turning this into a landing page, PDF offer sheet, or outreach campaign? Just let me know—I’ve got you covered!

Top 5 Best Transcription Jobs For Beginners in 2025

In recent years, I’ve been on the hunt for the best ways to transcribe my YouTube videos into blog posts. My goal was simple: I needed scripts for my videos to make them more accessible and SEO-friendly, and I wanted high-quality transcriptions to publish on my blog. However, finding a reliable transcription service wasn’t as easy as I thought. Many options I encountered were either subpar or simply too expensive for what they offered.
