Step 1: Your Takeaway Loyalty Hub – Getting Started with meed
First things first, you'll need to head over to the meed Business Portal. This is where the magic begins, and it’s designed to be as intuitive as ordering a pizza yourself!
First, create your account, which takes just a moment, and then you will land on the loyalty program screen.
Name Your Programme: Give your loyalty programme a catchy name that resonates with your takeaway. Maybe "Pizza Paradise Rewards" or "[Your Takeaway Name] Loyalty Bites"?
Add a Description: Write a short, snappy description of your business. Think about what makes your takeaway special!
Select Your Industry & Location: Choose "Food & Beverage" as your industry, and then set your first location. Simple!
Step 2: Your Visual Brand – Make It Pop!
Your loyalty programme should reflect your fantastic takeaway brand. meed makes it easy to add your visual flair.
Upload Your Logo: A clear, square version of your takeaway's logo is essential. This will be the face of your loyalty programme.
Pass for Apple & Google Wallets: Upload a landscape image (ideally 4 units wide by 1 unit high) that will appear on your customers’ digital loyalty passes in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. This gives your brand a sleek, professional look right on their phone.
Poster Power: Upload a square photo that can be used on your in-store member recruitment posters. This is crucial for attracting new sign-ups!
Step 3: Colour Your World – Choose Your Theme
Just like choosing your toppings, pick a colour that makes your loyalty card stand out!
Pick Your Programme Colour: Select a colour for your digital membership card, as well as the Apple & Google passes. Ensure it contrasts nicely with your logo, so everything is clear and easy to read.
Step 4: Launch Your Loyalty Programme!
You're almost there! In just a few clicks, your loyalty programme will be live.
Create & Scan: Hit the "Create Loyalty Program" button. meed will instantly generate a unique QR code for your takeaway. Scan it with your phone, and voilà – you’re your first member! This allows you to experience the customer journey firsthand.
Step 5: Crafting Your "Buy 8, Get 1 Free" Voucher Campaign
Now, let's create that irresistible "buy eight slices, get the next one free" offer using meed's voucher campaign feature. This will be your digital stamp card.
Choose Voucher Type: Select "Giveaway/Redemption" as your basic voucher type. Name it something clear like "Free Pizza Slice" or "Complimentary Pizza".
Enter the Offer Details: Describe your giveaway. For our example, "Enjoy your 9th pizza slice absolutely free after collecting 8 stamps!"
Add a Description: This is where you can make it sound even more appealing. "Treat yourself to a delicious, free slice on us with your loyalty!"
Terms & Conditions (Keep it Simple!): You'll need to include at least one term. For example: "Offer valid on any pizza slice. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer."
Voucher Image: Upload an attractive image of your pizza slices or a whole pizza. This will appear directly on the voucher to tempt your customers!
Set Your Dates: Choose a start and end date for your campaign. You can make it ongoing, or set it for a specific promotional period.
Click "Stamp Card": This will open up some additional options. All you have to do is select the number of stamps that will fill the card.
Start Campaign: Click the big orange "Start Campaign" button, and your digital stamp card is now active!
