A florist loyalty program for occasions that happen all year
Keep everyday bouquets and occasional gifts in one clear points program, then use dated campaigns for moments that need a prompt.
Recommended starting program
Start with one mechanism customers can remember.
Award five points per $1 of eligible spend. At 500 points, offer a free greeting card or a $5 standard bouquet upgrade.
Earn rate
5 points per $1
Threshold
500 points
Reward
Card or $5 standard upgrade
Spend to reward
$100 eligible spend
Why this fits
The trade decides the mechanism.
This guide is for retail florists selling bouquets, plants, cards, and small gifts. Wedding floristry and general gift stores need separate lead times and economics.
Flower baskets vary from a small bunch to a large arrangement, so spend-based points keep progress proportional.
A low-cost add-on preserves bouquet margin better than a blanket percentage discount.
Achievements recognise return dates and redemption. Dated vouchers handle occasions without making every purchase cheaper.
Customer journey
From the first QR to a reason to return.
The program should follow the transaction or appointment that already exists. It should not create a second queue.

Exact program setup
Configure the base program before the campaign.
Complete the steps in order. Each documentation link opens the current 5.x setup guide for that task.
-
1
Create the points card
Set five points per $1 and decide whether delivery, wire services, tax, and pass-through items count in the awarded subtotal.
Create the florist points card -
2
Add one 500-point reward
Use a named greeting card or standard upgrade. Avoid wording that allows any add-on at any price.
Configure the florist reward -
3
Enable three fixed achievements
Use 5 loyalty days, First reward enjoyed, and One year together. Keep their fixed dates and events clear.
Activate florist achievements -
4
Prepare one occasion voucher
Set the minimum spend and short availability before selecting the audience.
Create an occasion voucher
Achievement strategy
Use milestones as a supporting layer.
Reward Loyalty provides a curated catalog of predefined, one-time milestones. The business chooses which achievements to activate and whether to attach an optional reward. Names, thresholds, measured events, and formulas stay fixed.
A loyalty day records qualifying loyalty activity on a distinct business-local date. It is not a configurable product, service, branch, booking-source, or purchase-count rule. See the fixed achievement catalog and progress rules.
Exact Reward Loyalty name
5 loyalty days
- Fixed milestone
- Earn loyalty days on 5 different dates.
- Why it matters here
- Five distinct dates distinguishes a repeat florist customer from a single large occasion order.
- Reward approach
- Use a small bonus-points grant only if the 500-point economics can absorb it.
- Guardrail
- Cap grants and do not count split orders as a strategy.
- 30-day check
- Completion rate and median calendar time to five dates.
Exact Reward Loyalty name
First reward enjoyed
- Fixed milestone
- Redeem your first reward.
- Why it matters here
- Redeeming the greeting card or bouquet upgrade proves that the reward is relevant at checkout.
- Reward approach
- No extra reward; the add-on is already delivered.
- Guardrail
- Keep eligible add-ons explicit and block voucher stacking.
- 30-day check
- Rewards earned, rewards redeemed, and staff exceptions.
Exact Reward Loyalty name
One year together
- Fixed milestone
- Earn a loyalty day a full year after your first.
- Why it matters here
- A purchase a full year after the first fits anniversary and recurring-occasion behaviour.
- Reward approach
- A modest card upgrade or recognition works better than a free bouquet.
- Guardrail
- Avoid implying that the product remembers a customer's private occasion date; the condition is based on loyalty days.
- 30-day check
- Completions, reward cost, and later eligible purchases.
Before attaching value, review achievement reward availability, expiry, and grant caps.
Reward economics
Show the arithmetic before approving the reward.
Illustrative calculation
500 points ÷ 5 points per $1 = $100 eligible spend before a reward with $5 face value.
The maximum face-value reward rate is 5%.
Calculate the actual card or stem upgrade cost. Do not use the $5 menu value as cost.
Margin protections
- Award points on the eligible subtotal.
- Exclude delivery and pass-through items where margin requires it.
- Use a named standard upgrade.
- Do not stack points rewards with occasion vouchers.
Where to promote it
Put the invitation inside the existing visit.
- Counter: put the points proposition by recipient-detail forms.
- Bouquet care card: add a small wallet QR.
- Collection desk: show progress when the order is handed over.
- Receipt and order email: link to points and reward terms.
Staff script and operating routine
One line, at the right moment.
“You earn five points per dollar on eligible items. Five hundred gets a card or standard bouquet upgrade.”
- Best moment
- While confirming recipient and delivery details, before payment.
- Operating habit
- Use the eligible subtotal and show the wallet before the customer leaves.
- Common staff mistake
- Awarding points on delivery and other pass-through charges without checking margin.
First campaign
Wait until the base program works.
A campaign should address one observed behaviour. It should not compensate for missed awards, unclear terms, or an untrained team.
- Audience
- Members inactive for 90 days who are suitable for the chosen occasion mailing.
- Offer
- $10 off at least $50 of eligible products, valid 14 days.
- Timing
- Send early enough for ordering, but keep the voucher availability tied to the selected occasion.
- Intended behaviour
- Prompt a planned purchase without changing everyday reward economics.
- Measure
- Email delivery, voucher claims and redemptions, eligible revenue, and order timing. Reward Loyalty does not track email opens or clicks.
30-day review
Use the first month to fix operation and economics.
Thirty days can reveal adoption, workflow, progress, and reward-cost problems. It is too early to claim proven lifetime value or long-term retention.
Join-to-first-earn rate
Low conversion signals a weak counter handoff.
Points by eligible order value
Outliers expose subtotal errors.
5 loyalty days progress
Use it to spot early repeat behaviour, not annual retention.
Add-on reward redemption
If customers ignore it, change the reward before the threshold.
Campaign order value and reward stacking
Protect margin before expanding the audience.
