FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-GENERAL

What is the Infinite Loop?

The Infinite Loop Theory is the idea that customer loyalty should be a continuous cycle—not a one-time transaction. While most businesses focus on attracting new customers, the real growth happens when you turn one-time visitors into regulars who keep coming back.

Paper punch cards are easy to lose, hard to track, and don’t give you data on customer behavior. Digital loyalty cards are smarter—they’re automated, trackable, and offer personalized engagement.
