Why Your Small Business Needs a Rewards Program

You might think rewards programs are for the big guys — national chains with slick apps and big budgets.

But here’s the truth:

The businesses that benefit most from loyalty programs?
Local, independent shops — just like yours.

Because Customer Retention = Revenue

You probably already know your regulars by name.

But did you know:

• 60-70% of revenue in small shops often comes from repeat customers
• It's 5x more expensive to attract a new customer than to keep one
• Return visitors spend 67% more than first-timers

A rewards program gives those customers a reason to come back — and spend a little more while they’re at it.

Because It Builds Relationships, Not Just Sales

Local businesses thrive on connection.

With a rewards program:

• You’re saying “thanks” in a tangible way
• You’re making customers feel seen and valued
• You’re creating a simple reason to choose you over a competitor

It’s not about points. It’s about people.

Because Today’s Customers Expect It (Without the App)

Most people are already used to earning rewards at grocery stores, airlines, and chain cafés.

But they don’t want to:

• Download yet another app
• Create another password
• Jump through hoops just to join

Worthify solves that:

• Customers scan a QR code
• Join in seconds
• Save a wallet pass to Apple or Google Wallet
• Earn and redeem points automatically

No app. No barrier.

Because It Reflects Your Brand — Not Someone Else’s

Generic apps make your business feel like a small part of someone else’s platform.

Worthify makes it feel like your own:

• Your logo
• Your colors
• Your rewards
• Your vibe

Your customers will never see our name — only yours.

Because It’s Simple to Track What’s Working

With Worthify’s dashboard, you can see:

• How many customers joined
• Points issued and rewards redeemed
• What offers bring people back

You don’t need to be a data analyst.
You just need clear signals that your loyalty is paying off.

Recap: What a Rewards Program Brings You

• More frequent visits
• Higher spend per customer
• Stronger relationships
• Easy marketing touchpoints
• A branded, modern customer experience

Final Thought: Loyalty Starts Local

Big chains may have tech, but small businesses have something stronger: trust.

A smart, simple rewards program helps you turn that trust into growth — one visit, one perk, one loyal customer at a time.
