Givex new turnkey wallet powers mobile gift and loyalty programs without special POS or handset hardware

Last Updated: August 5, 2020By

Businesses that have been restricted to card-based gift and loyalty programs because of their POS can now offer their customers Givex’s new Mobile Loyalty Wallet, a convenient, customer-centric solution for secure mobile gift programs and rewards. It can be easily incorporated into a merchant’s mobile app, increases program participation, gives customers a faster way to pay and uses Givex’s SUN (Single Use Number) system to mask card numbers, thereby increasing security.

Givex is a global technology company, powering next generation gift and loyalty programs for businesses in more than 50 countries worldwide. Givex’s goal is to make adoption and mobile payment as easy as possible for both businesses and their customers. Other mobile payment technologies, such as NFC, are heavily dependent on phone and POS hardware. In contrast, a Givex merchant can accept card-less gift and loyalty transactions today by entering or scanning a consumer-generated 6-digit SUN (Single Use Number) on all Givex-enabled POS systems without costly hardware upgrades.

Givex’s innovative SUN (Single Use Number) system is distinctive in that it not only increases security but also customer ease-of-use. Instead of handing over full gift or loyalty card numbers at the point of sale, which may incur fraud risk, the mobile wallet generates a unique token each time, a SUN (Single Use Number), which is used for the transaction. The SUN can be generated on-screen as a QR code, bar code or 6-digit number.

While customers can access the wallet by downloading the appropriate app, Givex can also provide a no-download version, which sits on a mobile website and can be accessed by any phone’s web browser. Givex is opening up the new wallet capability to all clients to start incorporating it into their programs.

To achieve better sales and profits, most companies could be doing more to cultivate business from their existing customers. However, enthusiasm for customer-retaining strategies must not endanger sound customer-getting efforts. How companies balance the two is the big question. To intensify reaching old customers while still seeking new ones, for many firms, will mean changes in market analysis, planning systems, management incentives, and marketing and/or operations organization. In the rush toward growth, consumer marketers have tended to regard success as stemming from obtaining new customers while unwittingly minimizing the importance of satisfying old ones. It is time for more companies to distinguish between their getting and retaining functions, to assess the balance between them, and to remedy any deficiencies in customer retention. This process requires management to value the potential of current customers and to treat them in special ways to get them to keep coming back. Several major elements should be part of the new marketing mix for customer retention: Product extras Keeping customers frequently requires giving them more than the basic product that initially attracted them. Product extras for individual customers over time can play a sales-expansive role. Reinforcing promotions Product promotion works better when aimed at existing customers. If a marketer knows who these customers are, benefits can be obtained by giving them reinforcing communications. Sales force connections The sales force can play a decisive role in the customer-retention function. At a retail or service counter the salesperson is the focal point of the company's strategy and is the firm to the customer. Post-purchase communication A company must anticipate that some customers will encounter either minor or serious problems after purchasing. If the firm is not ready to hear and correct these difficulties, the customer may not repurchase  or may cancel the the relationship. Whether company or customer is at fault, standby post-purchase activities can be instrumental in saving these customers.
