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.
Why do customers stop coming back even if they love my business?
Even your best customers get busy. Without reminders or incentives, it's easy for them to forget. A loyalty system that delivers timely messages, celebrates your best customers, and offers rewards gives them a reason to return—without constant discounting.

You can use generic tools, but to build a profitable program, you need strategy. We help tailor your loyalty program to your margins, audience, and service model—so it drives real repeat visits and profit.

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.
Should loyalty points expire?
