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.

As an independent coffee shop owner, you have a unique view of the world. You see the morning rush, the freelancer in the corner nursing a flat white for hours, and the regulars who don’t even need to order. You are, in many ways, the heart of your local neighbourhood.

The core business of a coworking space is straightforward: you rent out desks, offices, and meeting rooms. This is your foundation, your bread and butter. But relying solely on this rental income is like a restaurant only selling main courses - you're leaving a huge amount of potential revenue on the table.

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.

You’re not just competing with the salon down the street. You’re up against big-name chains with massive marketing budgets and online influencers promoting the latest global trends. It can feel like an uphill battle.

Happy Hour. It’s the oldest trick in the book for getting people in early. But let's face it, relying on discounts is a race to the bottom. It can cheapen your brand and often gives a price cut to customers who would have come in anyway.

"How was everything?" It’s the question servers have asked since the dawn of restaurants. And 99% of the time, the answer is a polite, but utterly useless, "Fine, thanks."

Your interactions with customers can be fleeting. They drop off, they pick up, they pay. But within that routine lies a powerful, often-missed opportunity: the five seconds it takes to award a loyalty stamp.

It may only be early September, but for anyone in the events industry, the sleigh bells are already ringing loud and clear. Planning for the festive season is in full swing, and your focus is on creating a magical, bustling Christmas market experience. You’re thinking about the scent of mulled wine, the twinkling lights, and the unique crafts from local artisans.

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.

The Friday night rush is on. The phone is ringing, online orders are coming in, and the queue is growing. In the organised chaos of running a takeaway, your focus is on getting great food out the door, fast. But what if you could make every single order just a little bit bigger?

Your nail salon is a hub of creativity. Every day, you and your team create tiny, wearable works of art. So, if there’s one platform that was practically invented for you to show off your skills, it’s Instagram. It’s your digital shop window, your portfolio, and your biggest source of new clients, all rolled into one.
