A customer spending £80 should earn more than one spending £12. Points proportional to spend feel fair and naturally encourage larger purchases over time."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I run Stampet alongside my existing EPOS system?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes - Stampet runs independently of your EPOS system. Staff use the separate Stampet staff app to add points or stamps after payment, which takes a few seconds. There is no integration required, which means setup is fast and there is nothing to go wrong at the till."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I encourage customers to join the loyalty programme in-store?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A verbal prompt at the till and clear counter signage are the two most effective methods. A simple 'Do you have our loyalty app?' question converts well. You can also include a QR code on receipts linking to the app download. Most shops find 10 to 20% of transactions convert to new sign-ups in the first month."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does Stampet help compete with online retailers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Online retailers can match or beat your prices, but they cannot replicate the personal relationship and ongoing rewards of a well-run loyalty programme. Customers who have accumulated stamps or points have a concrete reason to keep buying from you locally rather than switching to an online alternative."}}]} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://stampet.com"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Industries","item":"https://stampet.com/industry"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Shops","item":"https://stampet.com/industry/shops"}]} ```
