Loyalty programme for board game cafes
Digital Loyalty Cards for Board Game Cafes
Your regulars come every week for game night. Reward them for it. TapStamp gives your board game cafe a digital stamp card. Gamers tap, collect stamps, and earn free sessions, drinks, or snacks.
Why paper loyalty cards don't work for board game cafes
Sound familiar? These are the problems TapStamp solves.
Irregular visits
Groups come when they can organise a date. Without an incentive, monthly becomes quarterly.
No way to fill quiet nights
Some evenings are empty while others are packed. You need a way to even out the week.
Competition from home gaming
People can play board games at home for free. Your cafe needs to offer extra value to justify the visit.
No direct customer channel
You post events on social media but only reach a fraction of the people who have actually visited.
How TapStamp works for board game cafes
Three steps. No complicated setup. Go live the same day.
Customer taps the NFC pod
After they visit for a gaming session, the customer holds their phone to your countertop NFC pod. One tap, done.
Stamp collected instantly
A digital stamp is added to their card in the TapStamp app. They can see their progress towards the reward at any time.
Reward unlocked
Collect 6 stamps, get a free session. The customer redeems their reward in-app and starts collecting again.
