Your customers' experience
How new customers earn loyalty points
For Heartland Retail POS brands, when you complete the sale, a new customer is added to your loyalty program and Marsello customer database. They automatically earn loyalty points for their purchase. If you have the "Earned Points" email notification enabled, they also receive an email about the points they've earned, their updated loyalty points balance and the number of points required to reach their next reward.
If the new customer accepts marketing, they also become eligible to receive your upcoming marketing campaigns and automation, which gives them a better engagement experience.
How existing customers earn loyalty points
For Heartland Retail POS brands, when you complete the sale, existing customers automatically earn loyalty points. If you have the "Earned Points Email" feature turned on, they also automatically receive an email about the points they've earned for their recent purchase and the number of points required to reach their next reward.
Encouraging your staff to prompt customers to use their rewards at the point of sale creates a positive and delightful experience for customers, leaving them pleasantly surprised and fostering stronger customer loyalty.
