The Journey to Better Loyalty: Our Merchant's Story
When Pots and Pans Pie Co. migrated to Joy, they faced a common challenge: rising costs without improved performance. Their 14,000+ loyalty members deserved better. The switch to Joy took two weeks, with zero point loss during migration. Our team handled everything, allowing them to focus on their core business – making delicious pies. Using Joy's rule engine, they created personalized rewards based on customer purchase patterns. The results spoke for themselves: sales increased by 10% within just two months, and they achieved an impressive 67% voucher redemption rate – far above industry standards. What did they value most? Joy's dedicated support team regularly reviews their program performance and suggests improvements. With better results at half the price of Smile, Joy delivered the loyalty program their customers deserved.
