Build your own loyalty program that integrates directly with commercetools. Talon.One’s industry-leading promotions platform can now be used alongside commercetools’ full range of eCommerce microservices.

Our API-first, scalable, auditable, enterprise-ready customer loyalty program is quick and easy to set up and can be customized specifically to your needs.

Household names like Ticketmaster, Mercedes-Benz and Burger King all use our Promotion Engine to power their online promotions.

Defining your loyalty program for commercetools

A loyalty program can be defined in a number of key areas, including point acquisition, point redemption, loyalty tiers, and special promotions. A more holistic definition for loyalty and customer loyalty can be found here.
Anyway, with Talon.One, these aspects are all fully customizable, integrating directly with commercetools and allowing you to find the most effective way to encourage your customers to keep shopping with you.

Point acquisition

With Talon.One you can set your loyalty program to reward points based upon any condition you like.

You could give customers a base level of points for each item purchased in your store. You could then encourage additional spend with extra points for every shop over a spend threshold, e.g. $100, or double points if customers buy additional products from the same product category.

“Point acquisition can be tied to previous spend trends, e.g. double points if total spend over the last 6 months is greater than specified amount”

Or you could create a rule that rewards loyalty points for each desired action e.g. Facebook likes.

Point redemption

Unlimited conditions for point redemption are also possible.

For example, $1 discount for every 100 loyalty points accumulated, or whichever conversation rate you choose. This reward can be set for the whole cart, or only for your specified products/services.

You could let the user choose a free gift equal to the value of their current points balance.

Or cashback can be deposited directly into your customer’s bank account via a webhook to your third party payment gateway platform.

Loyalty tiers

Talon.One allows you to set up separate tiers within your loyalty program. This enables customers to progress towards better rewards depending on the criteria you set. It could simply be point accumulation, or you could create any number of custom goals related to spend or other customer activity.

“Tiers are a vital part of all loyalty programs - they incentivize customers to continue spending with the lure of better rewards.”

For example, loyal customers can be set as VIP and then receive better rewards accordingly.

Additionally, ‘unlockable’ attributes, such as badges, stars, or levels, which gamify the loyalty experience even further, can also be fully customized to your needs.

Special promotions

Talon.One’s Promotion Engine uses a logic-based rule engine to check customer activity against active campaigns.

This gives you the ability to set up complex promotions with unrivalled customizability. They can vary by season, campaign type, customer segment, individual customer - virtually any variable you want.

For example:

"You could set up a Black Friday promotion with the same branding worldwide, but differentiate individual offers depending on region, local currency, customer age and each customer’s individual loyalty tier."

This way you can reduce your marketing costs and also optimize the promotions to give maximum returns in different circumstances.

By targeting specific user segments you can test campaign performance on small groups first before rolling out nation/worldwide.

Promotions as a service

While loyalty programs are a core part of our product, the integration between Talon.one and commercetools also supports many other promotion types that can all be interlinked. That’s what makes our Promotion Engine so powerful.

We view promotions holistically, so we built the Promotion Engine to act as a single system that can support all the promotions you’d ever need - referrals, coupons, gift cards, discounts, location-based promotions, time-sensitive deals, restrictive budgets and many more.

As a result, the entire range of functions supported by the Promotion Engine can be incorporated in your loyalty campaign, making it the most powerful solution on the market.

When combined with commercetools’ platform, our new integration is seriously exciting news for retailers, eCommerce businesses and large enterprises alike.
