Your coffee shop's loyalty program probably has a digital stamp card. "Buy nine coffees, get the tenth free." It's a solid, reliable workhorse. Maybe you are using STAMP by meed!

Look at your empty meeting room. It’s not just a space; it's a non-performing asset. Every hour it sits unused, it's costing you money in rent, utilities, and missed opportunities.

As a takeaway owner, you live and die by your margins and your regulars. Every dollar counts, and any new expense has to justify its existence immediately. The idea of "giving away" free food through a loyalty program can feel counterintuitive. Is it a genuine investment or just a drain on your already tight profits?

Your salon is more than just a place where people get a haircut or a manicure. It's a space where they come to relax, to be transformed, and to feel fantastic. A special event is your chance to amplify that feeling, turning your salon into a vibrant community hub and a powerful engine for business growth.

A great pub has always been more than just a place that sells drinks. It’s the original social network. It's the "third place" between work and home where people gather, connect, and belong. It’s a community campfire.

Picture your restaurant on a Tuesday night. The lights are on, the kitchen is staffed, and the overheads are ticking away... but too many tables are empty. It's a familiar pain point for restaurateurs everywhere. Your bustling weekend service proves you have a great product, but how do you capture that magic on a quiet weeknight?

The landscape for outdoor event payments has decisively shifted, with 65% of festival-goers now preferring cashless transactions. For event organisers, the choice between Near Field Communication (NFC) and Quick Response (QR) code systems is a critical one, as it balances transaction speed, security, and attendee experience against cost and logistical complexity. This article provides a matter-of-fact comparison based on current data to help organisers make an informed decisi

Your members don't just come to your studio or gym for a workout; they come for the community, the motivation, and the unique vibe that you've created. They trust you. And that trust is one of your most valuable - and often untapped - business assets.

Another Tuesday morning. A customer walks in, phone in hand, eyes down. They order their usual flat white, tap their card, take their cup, and leave. They might do this three times a week. You know their order, but you don't know their name.

The Wi-Fi is fast, the coffee is hot, and the desks in your coworking space are filled with a vibrant community of freelancers, startups, and remote workers. But if your revenue model begins and ends with membership fees, you’re leaving a serious amount of money on the table.

For years, the paper stamp card has been the king of takeaway loyalty. "Buy nine pizza slices, get the tenth free." It’s simple, it’s easy to understand, and for a long time, it was enough. But it’s not enough anymore.

One truth is universal: the best new client is one sent by a happy existing client. They walk through your door already trusting you; they're more likely to be a good fit for your salon's vibe, and they almost always spend more and stay longer than clients who find you through a random search.

The festive season is coming. Those twinkling lights signal the biggest, busiest, and potentially most profitable time of the year. But it's also the most competitive. Every pub and cocktail bar on the street is vying for the same customers, the same office parties, and the same festive cheer.

Imagine a customer rummaging through their wallet, pulling out a dog-eared stamp card with just one sad, empty square left on it. That nearly complete card is a powerful thing. It represents loyalty, repeat business, and the promise of a well-deserved reward.

The landscape of charitable giving has undergone a fundamental transformation. Digital payment processing is no longer a peripheral option but a core component of any successful fundraising strategy. Digital donations now constitute over 85% of payment methods, and organisations that embrace a digital-first approach are growing 12.7% faster than their counterparts. With mobile giving alone accounting for more than half of all online donations in 2024, fundraisers must navigat

For decades, the humble restaurant receipt has served one purpose: proof of purchase. It’s a transactional slip of paper that usually ends up crumpled in a pocket or lost in a car glovebox. But what if that same receipt could become the key to understanding your customers and building a powerful, modern loyalty programme?

You’ve built a brilliant fitness community. Your classes are buzzing, members are showing up, and there’s a great atmosphere. But you glance over at your personal training schedule, and you see gaps. Gaps that should be filled with dedicated members getting incredible results and, just as importantly, boosting your revenue.

For takeaway and quick-service restaurants, loyalty is the secret sauce. In a crowded market, keeping your customers coming back is the difference between surviving and thriving. Research shows that loyalty members visit up to 22% more often than other customers, making a well-chosen loyalty program one of the best investments you can make.

The legendary printed stamp card is a symbol of café culture. It's simple, satisfying, and for years it has been the go-to tool for rewarding regulars. But in a world where your customers live on their phones, that crumpled card they always forget is starting to show its age.

Events are threads that hold a coworking space community together. From weekly member breakfasts and networking nights to expert workshops and keynote speakers, these gatherings are where connections are made and your space transforms from a collection of desks into a genuine ecosystem.
