Green Valley Grocer Classic style

How to set it up in your grocery store

Small but frequent purchases: points add up fast, and a close reward brings customers back to you before the supermarket.

Recommended setup

Points
1 point per dollar
On joining
10 welcome points
First reward
A fresh juice, at 40 points
Halfway reward
A bag of seasonal fruit, at 70 points
Big reward
A box of vegetables or a specialty product, at 200 points

A customer who spends about $20 twice a week reaches the juice within their first week.

What each reward costs you

RewardPointsCosts you, roughly
A fresh juice40$0.80-1.20
A bag of seasonal fruit70$1.50-2
A box of vegetables200$5-7
A specialty product250$6-9

You reward with your own produce, which costs you less than it's worth to the customer. The reward feels more generous than it is.

An example: Rose, shopping for the whole week

Rose shops twice a week and spends about $20 each time. With the 10 welcome points, by her second visit she gets a fresh juice.

Within a month she redeems a bag of seasonal fruit. On days she thinks of buying it at the supermarket, she remembers your store earns her points.

In about two and a half months she reaches the box of vegetables, and recommends it to a neighbor.

Common mistakes in greengrocers and grocery stores

  • Thinking small purchases aren't worth itThe opposite: they're frequent and points add up fast. That's why the first reward comes early.
  • Rewarding with discountsA discount on a $20 purchase is very little. A bag of fruit or a juice is seen and appreciated.
  • Not offering it to regulars firstYour long-time customers are the ones who earn fastest. Offer it to them first.
What to say at the till While you weigh the fruit:
“Shall I add you to our points? Two shops like this one and the juice is on us.”

Automated emails that bring them back.

Your customers already walk in; the challenge is getting them back. These four emails go out on their own.

Frequently asked questions

Anything else? Write to us and a real person will answer.

Write to us
Is it worth it with small purchases?

Yes, that's exactly why. They're frequent purchases, several times a week, and points add up fast. A reward within reach, like a juice or a kilo of fruit, brings customers back to you rather than to the supermarket.

Which rewards work for a greengrocer?

Your own produce, which costs you less than it's worth to the customer: seasonal fruit, a veg box or a house deli product.

Does it work for grocery stores and delis?

Yes. It works the same in any shop: you record each purchase amount and the points add up on their own.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. They scan your QR and their card opens in the phone's browser. If they want, they can add it to the home screen with one tap.

What if a customer doesn't have a smartphone?

No problem. They just give their phone number at checkout and you add their points. They never need to use the website.

How much does it cost?

You start with a 30-day free trial, no card needed. Then the Basic plan costs $18 a month and Pro $49 a month, plus taxes. Pay yearly and get 2 months free. You can cancel anytime.

I bought Apego and it's not for me. Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you're not happy, we refund your payment within the first 30 days.
