FAQ

How do I compete against Chewy and Amazon and keep my customers loyal?

As a local retailer, you bring convenience and service to your customers that the online competition will never have. Bag loyalty programs have proven their ability to repeatedly drive customers into your store. Pet Rewards POS tracks and notifies customers of their redemption status. You also become more competitive by offering Buy Online- Pick up In-store. Pet Rewards POS can directly communicate with most major E-commerce platforms. Once your customer makes the purchase, the system will notify you, and one of your staff can pick the order and have it ready when the customer arrives.  This will enable your business to offer faster and more quality service to your customers, thus negating the convenience of Chewy and Amazon.

I already use ASTRO for my rebates. Why should I add Pet Rewards POS?

ASTRO has made the tracking of bag loyalty easier than the outdated card-based systems of the past, however without Pet Rewards POS, you still need to rekey the transactions into ASTRO’s portal.

The minutes spent manually tabulating or double entering transactions add up quickly. And that’s the time that could be spent helping customers. Pet Rewards POS does all the work for you.

How do I use the Pet Rewards POS marketing features to increase my revenue?

Pet Rewards POS can automatically send emails to your existing customers based on their purchasing habits and track the success of your campaigns. Let’s say you have 15 customers that buy a 30lb bag of Blue Mountain Chicken, every month. Pet Rewards POS can send them an email once a month reminding them to come in and purchase that bag from you and offer them 5% off a bag of Dog Friendly Cupcakes if they purchase them at the same time. This improves your customer loyalty (because you remembered what they buy), increases your average transaction, and adds to your revenue (because your cupcakes may be a high margin item.) With “set and forget” capabilities, you design the campaign, set the parameters and let CounterPoint do the rest! Successful campaigns include Pet’s Birthday, Owner’s Birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, overstocked items, etc.
