Built for your industry

DIY loyalty programmes that reward the whole project

The DIY sector is characterised by infrequent, project-driven purchases. The right loyalty approach lets you recognise exactly where your customer is in their project and reward them for the progress they're making.

Challenges in DIY loyalty

  • Person icon

    Too few visits to learn from

    Your customers show up only a few times per year, so there is little to personalise with, and a standard points scheme earns too slowly to feel worthwhile.

  • Bursts icon

    One business, two very different customers

    The occasional consumer wants inspiration and confidence to start a project. The demanding professional wants speed, credit terms, and volume pricing. A programme built for one rarely works for the other.

  • Buy icon

    Seasonal swings and rising online competition

    Housing activity, interest rates, and weather move your demand sharply within short windows, and online players keep taking market share and pressuring your margins.

The mechanics that make the whole project worth more than the basket.

Promotions

Go beyond blanket discounts

Smarter incentives that create engagement and excitement, without handing over margin.

  • Offers and 1:1 Personalised Offers

    Category-level discounts instead of a flat percentage off everything, run broadly or matched to a customer's current project. Target the lines customers keep coming back for and the same budget does more work.

  • Challenges

    A reward for hitting a project or spend goal, paid out once it's reached. Built to run over months, the way your customers actually shop.

Loyalty

Make every purchase more rewarding

Bonus, status and the app that carry the relationship between visits.

  • Real-Time Bonus

    Cashback or points earned on purchases and updated instantly. Built around your customer's project cycle so the balance still feels worthwhile through the weeks between visits.

  • Tiering

    Status levels that reward a contractor for consolidating spend with you, shifting from discounts to real service at the higher tiers, with top-tier customers spending 21% more.

  • Households and Trade Accounts

    Family accounts that pool rewards together, and trade accounts that give a contractor's whole team purchasing access under one login.

  • Mobile App & App Communication

    An app built to carry real weight rather than work as a digitised membership card, with guides and inspiration reaching your customer while they are planning.

  • Partner Benefits

    Partners chosen for where they sit in your customer's project or working day, from fuel and workwear for a contractor to home security for a renovator.

  • E-commerce Integration

    A loyalty programme that runs seamlessly through your online store, so the experience holds together whether your customer buys in person or online.

  • Product Precision

    Pick a product and an audience size, and AI builds the segment of customers most likely to buy it.
