Gift Card Loyalty Program

Did you know that over 80% of successful businesses have loyalty reward programs? 

In an age of increasing competitiveness, loyalty reward programs are proven strategies to growing your business by retaining old clients and attracting new ones, creating word-of-mouth referrals - all of which will increase your revenues

 

Our Loyalty Rewards Program

Our loyalty rewards program can be especially designed for your Chef business and geared towards your clients.

Giving cash incentives is undignified.  Merchadise are not effective since everyone has their own tastes and can generally afford the items they need; and since almost every other major rewards program offers merchandise, your program will not stand out.

The Chef Alliance allows you to offer exclusive, unforgettable, positive experiences that have consistently been rated the best experience people have ever had, and one they are likely to repeat.  

Of course, you can customise your Loyalty Rewards program to suit your business, but as an example, our typical in-home dining experience consists of:

  • Our Chef will conduct a consultation to inquire about eating preferences and dietary restrictions
  • Our Chef will customize a menu specifically designed for the event and schedule the event date
  • Our Chef will shop for the freshest groceries on the day of the event 
  • Our Chef will attend at their home on the event date with the groceries and cooking utensils
  • Our Chef will prepare and serve the selected menu
  • Our Chef will clean up the kitchen afterwards!

 In over 95% of the time, our Chef Experiences are rated an astounding 10/10!

 

 

Remember - Experiences last a lifetime

Every time your Chef Experience is remembered, you will be remembered in a positive way, hence increasing loyalty - and that is what every business wants!

Every time your client uses your services, you update their profile with credits.  They can then redeem their credits for unique in-home dining experiences or your gift cards.   


 

Through our program, you have the capability to express: 

Congratulations:  Show your client just how much they mean to your businesss.  Personaized treatment is proven to build loyalty, bringing clients back time and again and increasing employee retention and productivity.  Our program will automatically send a personalised message from you for special occasions, giving bonus rewards pre-selected by you for birthdays, anniversaries, opening of a new office, or any other signficant event that you want to celebrate.

Convenience:  Allow clients to enroll in your loyalty program online.
Follow-up:  Our system can automatically follow up with each client after each booking, after each addition of points or at regular intervals - you choose how often they are contacted or reminded about your service.
Reminder:  Automatically send out monthly or bi-monthly reminders to program participants about their reward status, and the next reward level that they can achieve.  An excellent way to stay at the forefront of their minds.  Clients will be more likely to call you, not your competitors!

What it Costs

The Chef Alliance makes setting up a customized loyalty reward program for your clients, seamless, easy and very inexpensive.  The monthly service costs to implement the program are as little as $35.00 per month (less than the cost of one coffee a day) in addition to a one time design and set up fee of $150.00.  

Our program can be implemented city-wide or country-wide.  It can be used for small, medium or large businesses, with one or multiple locations.  There are no long term commitments, no contracts, no termination penalities.  Your satisfaction is our concern. 

Implementing a loyalty rewards program does not require any major investments or inventory - you only pay for the rewards if and when they are redeemed by the program participants.  And by that time, you have already made your money back with increased sales - so it really is a No Loss - High Gain program!  On average 15-25% of participants collect rewards and never redeem.  

 

Our Gift to You

Whether you have 10 or 10,000 program participants, to kick start your loyalty rewards program, we will provide each of them with a complimentary $25.00 gift card as the first level of reward just for signing up!
