For too long, loyalty programmes in the bustling world of bars, pubs, and nightlife venues have been, well, a bit of a headache. Forgettable paper cards, rarely downloaded apps, and a general sense of fragmentation have plagued both businesses and their valued patrons. But what if there was a way to effortlessly turn your regulars into loyal members, fostering genuine customer engagement without all the faff?
Enter Checkin for Bars by meed – the brand-new, hassle-free solution designed specifically for independent bars, pubs, and nightlife spots, officially launched today.
The Old Way vs. The meed Way: Why Fragmentation is Out
We've all been there. You love your local, but keeping track of another stamp card or downloading yet another app just for one venue feels like a chore. Our research shows that a staggering 64% of consumers feel overwhelmed by their loyalty programmes, and 75% prefer not to install new apps for them. This "app fatigue" means dormant accounts and missed opportunities for businesses. Independent retailers often lack the resources of larger enterprises, leaving them stuck with outdated methods.
meed is here to flip that model on its head. We believe loyalty should be effortless, rewarding, and accessible for everyone.
Simple Sips, Loyal Customers: What Checkin for Bars by meed Offers You
'Checkin for Bars' is built with simplicity at its core. You can set up your loyalty programme in mere minutes, without any complex integrations or hefty upfront costs.
Here’s how meed Checkin for Bars revolutionises loyalty for your venue:
Effortless Customer Enrolment: Customers can join your loyalty programme instantly by simply scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC chip with their phone. No app downloads required means no barriers to entry for you. Their meed loyalty memberships are all kept in one convenient digital wallet.

As Phil Ingram, Founder & CEO of meed, puts it: "For too long, loyalty programmes have been a bit of a headache, both for businesses and their patrons. Printed cards are often forgotten, apps are rarely downloaded, and the whole experience can feel somewhat fragmented. With 'Checkin for Bars', we're cutting through that noise, providing a simple, elegant solution that truly benefits everyone".
