Club Clarins USA Tripled Loyalty Members Without Increasing Staff Or Budget

In our never-ending story of improvement, this week we finished revamping and then relaunched our main website LoyaltyMatch.com. We also improved and relaunched four microsites that will tell you "ways that we do what we do" for Entertainment Venues and businesses that accept Bitcoins. Don't worry. If you don't know a Bitcoin from a bacon bit you will be much better informed after you visit our microsite. You can also learn about Social Loyalty, and what it means to be a part of an online community, and we have a place where the technically inclined can read all they need to know about our APIs.
So what's that got to do with the headline about the incredibly successful loyalty program at Clarins USA? Thank you for asking. A just introduced feature of the new and improved LoyaltyMatch.com is the inclusion of success stories. The first on the site tells the story of how we partnered with Clarins USA to create a program that has captured hundreds of thousands of transactions.
There are more success stories to be added in the near future. For now please take a few minutes to read Clarins USA offers Club members greater rewards than just beautiful skin.

TD Kitchener Blues Festival Selects LoyaltyMatch


InVenue® mobile App and “Digital Passport” developed by Kitchener-based company will let concert-goers check in and win  

The TD Kitchener Blues Festival has selected Kitchener-based software loyalty and gamification company LoyaltyMatch Inc. to provide its mobile app and digital passport for concert-goers to use to check-in and win prizes.

This year more than 150,000 people are expected at the four-day, multi-venue event. Festival organizers want to know which shows and venues attract the most blues lovers. Concert-goers will use the Digital Passport festival app developed by LoyaltyMatch to check-in at various sponsored events and share photos, posts and Tweets on social media.  A “stamp” for attending and sharing the events on social media is placed and tracked in the Digital Passport. Using the InVenue® mobile app, the festival organizers will be able to scan a QR code created in the Digital Passport and offer the concert-goer additional stamps for food or merchandise purchase.  Attendees with enough stamps will be eligible for a variety of prizes, including 2016 Kitchener Blues Festival tickets.

This year’s festival, “Burnin’ Up The Blues” running from August 6-9, will be the 15th edition of the event that last year attracted more than 120,000 music lovers to a dozen venues in Kitchener. Among the featured artists coming this year are Canadian music icons Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman and the legendary R&B and gospel singer Mavis Staples. As in the past, more than 70 vendors will provide the food, drinks and merchandise that attendees need to keep going throughout the event.

"Of course, the music will always be the key to the success of the festival, but each year we look for ways to improve the overall experience," said Rob Barkshire, president of the Kitchener Blues Festival. "We are still sorting out the details, but I can say we are excited because we knew as soon as LoyaltyMatch showed us the InVenue app and digital passport that they were offering something that will make this festival even better."
