In addition to customized gift certificates, series sales and other powerful customer retention tools, SuperSalon also delivers a powerful points system for salon clients. The SuperSalon Customer Points feature provides free or discounted services to help you drive customer loyalty. This article provides an overview of Customer Points and illustrates how they are used at the point of sale.
Assigning Points to Services
The illustrated example below shows a haircut service with its points information highlighted. This area of the Services profile page gives you the following three options:
- # Points to Credit
This text field is where the point value of the service is assigned. For locations that prefer fractional points, values can be entered as .25 for a quarter point, .5 for a half point and so on. - # Points to Redeem
The amount of points that need to be accumulated in order for the client to receive the discount. - Discount to Use When Redeeming Service
This drop-down menu allows you to select the discount that will be applied when the client redeems their points.
