Beginner

  • What this level covers

    It covers what a loyalty scheme is, why repeat customers matter, and the main scheme types: points, tiers, paid membership and simple thank-you rewards. You also look at the basic costs involved and at small, easy examples from cafés, shops and online stores.

  • Who it suits

    This level suits business owners and marketers who have never planned a loyalty scheme before. If you want repeat customers but are unsure whether points, rewards or member perks make sense for your business, it gives you a clear starting point.

  • What you can apply afterwards

    You should be able to explain how the main scheme types work, choose one that suits your customers and budget, and sketch a simple first reward structure. You can then describe the idea clearly to colleagues before spending anything on tools.

Inside this material

A loyalty scheme works best when it gives customers something they genuinely value and fits the economics of the business. This e-learning material begins with understanding why your customers return, what motivates them and which behaviours you want to encourage, before looking at the main types of scheme available.

Early levels compare approaches such as points, tiered membership, paid memberships, referral rewards and experience-based perks. Later levels move on to setting reward values you can sustain, writing clear terms, choosing tools to run the scheme and communicating it so customers understand and use it.

You also look at measuring repeat purchases and participation, then adjusting the design over time. By working through each step with your own business in mind, you finish with a practical outline for a scheme that fits your brand.
