Reward the Occasions That Bring Them Back Year After Year
Florists serve two kinds of customers: regulars who buy weekly arrangements for their home or office, and occasion buyers who come back for every birthday, anniversary, holiday, and event in their lives. A loyalty program rewards both groups, keeps your shop top of mind before the big occasions hit, and turns your most satisfied customers into people who send everyone they know your way.
Every Occasion Is a Return Visit. Every Event Order Is a Referral.
A customer who buys from you for Mother's Day will come back for Valentine's Day, then for a birthday, then for a funeral arrangement, then for a wedding consultation. That lifetime value is significant, but only if you stay in their mind between occasions. Email campaigns let you reach your customer list right before the big floral moments every year.
Event orders are one of the strongest referral drivers in any niche. Every wedding, quinceañera, or corporate event where your arrangements are on display is a live showcase. Guests ask who did the flowers. A referral program makes sure that word of mouth earns something for both the person referring and the new customer they send.
Best Fit for Regular Weekly Buyers and Subscription Customers
Each stamp card has one reward that unlocks when the card completes. You choose whether that reward is store credit your staff applies, a free arrangement, bonus points auto-credited to a loyalty card, or a combination. After the reward is collected, the card resets.
Stamp cards work best for florists who have regulars: office accounts that order weekly arrangements, customers who pick up a fresh bouquet every few weeks, or subscription flower buyers. For occasion-only customers, a points card captures their variable spend better than a stamp count.
8 Purchases, Free Bouquet
Eight stamps, one per order, regardless of size. On completion, the customer earns a free bouquet at your choosing. Scales well for customers who pick up flowers every week or two. At that cadence an 8-stamp card completes in roughly 2 months, which is frequent enough to feel rewarding without being too fast.
10 Orders, Store Credit
Targeted at corporate accounts and weekly office arrangement buyers. Ten stamps earns a meaningful store credit applied to any future order. Credit is more flexible than a free item for office buyers who may have specific size requirements. The credit acts like a discount on the next invoice.
Free Bouquet Plus Bonus Points
Award a free bouquet and bonus points at card completion. Points auto-credit to the loyalty card instantly. Regular buyers get a free arrangement today and a boost toward their next loyalty reward. Works well if you run both a stamp card for regulars and a points card for occasion buyers simultaneously.
How Stamps Are Added at Pickup or Delivery
When a customer picks up an order, they show their loyalty card QR on their phone. Staff tap Scan in the PerkHit staff view, scan the code, stamp added. For phone orders or deliveries, you can add the stamp when they come in to pay or arrange a quick scan at dropoff. A QR display at the counter lets walk-in customers join the program on the spot.
Spend-Based Rewards for Occasion Buyers and Event Orders
Floral spend varies enormously. A $20 bouquet, a $150 anniversary arrangement, a $600 wedding centerpiece consultation. A points card rewards customers based on what they actually spend, so a wedding client earns far more in a single order than a weekly bouquet buyer earns in two months. Both feel recognized for their actual value.
A points card also activates the referral system. Florists have one of the highest referral rates of any local business. A customer who used your shop for their wedding will recommend you to every friend who gets engaged. Making that behavior officially rewarded is a natural fit.
Example Florist Points Setup
Running Both Programs Together
A stamp card for weekly regulars and a points card for everyone run simultaneously. A customer picking up a $30 bouquet earns a stamp and 30 points. A customer ordering $400 in wedding flowers earns a stamp and 400 points. The stamp card tracks visit frequency; the points card tracks lifetime spend.
Tier levels on the loyalty card let you recognize your highest-value clients. A customer who orders event arrangements annually, buys occasional gifts, and sends referrals belongs at a different tier than someone who buys once a year. Higher tiers can unlock priority booking, complimentary delivery, or exclusive arrangements.
An active loyalty card activates the referral feature, which is especially powerful for florists because word of mouth from a satisfied wedding or event client tends to be warm and specific.
Every Tier Level Multiplies the Points Customers Earn
Membership tiers transform your loyalty card from simple point accumulation into a status-driven program. As a customer builds up points over time, the system automatically advances them to the next level. Each tier carries a points multiplier, so customers at higher levels earn more points on every purchase, on top of the exclusive benefits that come with their tier.
Lifetime points: 150 pts
Free stem add-on to any arrangement of $40 or more
Lifetime points: 500 pts
$25 credit toward any arrangement or custom order
Lifetime points: 1500 pts
Free custom arrangement up to $60 or priority access to limited seasonal stems
Lifetime points: 4000 pts
Annual anniversary arrangement on the house plus 20% off all custom orders
Lifetime points, not current balance
Tiers are based on lifetime points earned, meaning the total accumulated since day one. Redeeming rewards never drops a customer's tier. A customer who has earned 2,000 lifetime points holds their Silver tier even if they've redeemed most of their balance.
Automatic advancement
The system evaluates every customer's tier after each transaction and assigns them to the highest tier they qualify for automatically. The customer receives an email notification when they move up. No buttons to press, no forms to fill out, it just happens.
Custom tier names
You can rename all four tiers to anything you want in the partner dashboard. Some options that work well for this type of business: Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum, Regular / Preferred / Premier / VIP, or Guest / Member / Loyal / Elite. The name members see is the display name, fully customizable and translatable.
Setting it up in the dashboard
Go to the Tiers section in your partner sidebar under Campaigns. Click Create New Tier and fill out four tabs: Details, Qualification, Benefits, and Appearance. Set the lifetime points threshold, the multiplier, and the benefits for each level. Bronze is the default tier, all new members start here automatically.
Holiday Pre-Order Incentives, Early Access, and New Customer Welcomes
Vouchers are date-controlled with targeting rules and usage caps. You set who can use them, a start and end date, and a maximum redemption count. Members find them in their digital wallet or you send codes by email. Staff validate at pickup or before delivery with a scan.
Holiday Pre-Order Incentive
Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the two biggest floral holidays of the year and both have a supply and capacity crunch. A pre-order voucher sent two to three weeks before the holiday, offering a discount or free add-on for orders placed before a cutoff date, fills your order book early and gives you time to plan. Set a redemption cap that matches your capacity.
New Customer Welcome
A First Order Only voucher for new members. Someone who just scanned your QR from a referral or a sign in the shop sees a reason to make that first purchase before they leave. Keep it modest so it reads as a warm welcome rather than a desperation discount. A free stem, a small add-on, or a flat dollar amount off all work.
Seasonal or New Variety Alert
When a new seasonal flower comes in, peonies in spring, sunflowers in summer, dahlias in fall, set a short-window voucher and send to card members or all members. Customers who love a specific variety will come in specifically for it. A 3 to 5 day valid window keeps the offer tied to the freshest stock.
VIP Early Access for Top Tier
Before a major holiday, send a first-pick voucher exclusively to your top loyalty tier. They get access to pre-order premium or limited arrangements before the general member email goes out. For customers who order event flowers and send referrals, early access is a meaningful perk that reinforces why tier status matters.
Reach Your Customers Before the Big Floral Moments, Not After
Florists have a predictable calendar of high-value email moments. Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, spring wedding season, graduation, fall arrangements, Christmas. From your partner dashboard you write the email, pick a segment, and send. Every email includes an unsubscribe link automatically.
Holiday Pre-Order Reminder
Two to three weeks before Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or any high-demand holiday, send All Members a reminder that pre-orders are open, what you're offering, and the order deadline. Customers who have ordered from you before will respond. Attach a pre-order incentive voucher to drive bookings before the last-minute rush.
New Seasonal Variety Arrival
When a sought-after seasonal flower arrives in stock, a short email to Card Members or All Members telling them what's available and how long you expect it to last drives same-week traffic. Customers who love peonies, garden roses, or specialty varieties will come in specifically. Keep the email to two or three sentences and make it feel like an insider tip.
Win-Back Before a Major Holiday
The Inactive Members segment catches customers who haven't ordered recently. A win-back timed 10 days before Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, when floral need is on everyone's mind anyway, works better than a random-month win-back. A short note with a small voucher attached and a holiday deadline converts well. They were going to buy flowers somewhere.
Guests at Every Event Ask Who Did the Flowers. Make It Worth Answering.
The referral program rewards existing customers with bonus points when someone they referred makes their first purchase. The new customer gets a welcome bonus on that same transaction. Both are auto-credited to the loyalty card.
Referrals work through the loyalty card points system. You need an active loyalty card in your program. If you're running stamp cards only, adding a basic loyalty card alongside activates the referral feature.
How the Referral Flow Works
Example Setup for a Florist
A satisfied wedding client is the most credible advertisement you have. They will tell engaged friends, family planning events, and anyone who compliments the flowers. A referral link gives them a way to share your shop specifically, earns them points when the referral converts, and gives the new customer a reason to choose you over searching from scratch.
Concrete Reward Ideas for Your Stamp Cards, Points Tiers, and Vouchers
These are reward types that work well for florists. Use them as a starting point for your stamp card completion rewards, your points tier unlocks, and your voucher discounts. The best rewards are things your customers were already going to buy or experience, so they feel like a genuine bonus rather than a consolation prize.
No App Download. No Account Creation. They Scan and the Card Is There.
Most loyalty programs ask customers to download an app, create an account, and remember a password. Most customers don't. PerkHit works entirely in the browser. The card opens instantly when the QR is scanned, and it is always accessible from the browser history or a saved link on the home screen.
Customer Scans the QR
A QR stand on your counter, a table card, a sticker on your register, or a sign on the door. The customer points their phone camera at the code. No app needed. The camera opens it directly in the browser and the loyalty card appears immediately.
Their Card Is Ready Instantly
The card shows their stamp progress, points balance, active vouchers, and referral link in one screen. First-time visitors get a brand new card. Returning customers see exactly where they left off. Nothing to log into.
Staff Scans at Pickup or Register After the Sale
When the customer picks up their arrangement or pays at the register, they show their card QR. Staff tap Scan in the PerkHit staff view and scan it. Stamp added, points credited. For pre-orders or delivery orders, the scan can happen when payment is confirmed at order placement.
What the Customer Sees in Their Wallet
- Stamp card progress, stamps collected and remaining
- Points balance and what the next reward tier unlocks
- Any active vouchers with their expiration dates
- Their personal referral link to share with friends
- Their QR code for staff to scan on the next visit
Why No-App Matters for Your Business
Most loyalty programs have low adoption because downloading an app stops the majority of customers before they start. A browser-based card removes every barrier. The customer who scanned once already has their card in their browser history and can add it to their home screen with one tap.
Place the QR on receipts, packaging, business cards, or the back of a menu. Every surface that carries the code is a passive enrollment point that adds members without any extra effort from you.
Exactly What Staff Do in Each Situation
These are the four most common situations your staff will encounter. Each has a specific flow. Once staff run through each one two or three times, they become automatic.
New Customer, First Scan
A new customer scans the QR on the counter at the register or at the pickup area with their phone camera. The card opens in their browser instantly. No download, no form, no account. Their first stamp or points credit comes from the scan at the end of this same visit. Staff do not need to do anything for enrollment.
Regular Visit, Adding a Stamp or Points
The customer opens their card in the browser and shows the QR on their screen when the customer pays or picks up their order. Staff tap Scan in the PerkHit staff view on their phone or tablet, point the camera at the customer's screen, and scan. The screen confirms stamp added or points credited in under five seconds.
Customer Has a Voucher to Redeem
The customer opens their wallet and shows the voucher QR. Staff tap Scan in the PerkHit staff view and scan the voucher QR. The screen shows the voucher details and confirms it is validated. The discount or free item is applied before completing the transaction.
Completed Card or Points Reward Ready
When a stamp card is complete, the card shows a reward QR instead of a stamp grid. When a points tier is reached, it shows a redemption option. Staff scan the card QR normally. The screen shows the reward ready to apply, such as a free seasonal arrangement or store credit. Staff confirm it, the reward applies, and the card resets automatically.
