Feature
Digital stamp cardsReplace the paper punch card with a digital stamp card in your branded portal. Stamps land automatically from spend or a QR code, milestone rewards at stamp 5 and 10 keep customers coming back, and the card starts again when it is full.

Quick answer
A digital stamp card is the phone version of a paper punch card: customers collect a stamp for each qualifying visit or purchase and earn a reward when the card is full. In Pixalink, stamps are added automatically from spend or a QR code, you can place different rewards at any stamp, and cards can repeat to drive recurring sales.

The science of stamping
Two well-known studies explain why digital stamp cards drive repeat visits, and why the way you start the card matters.
Endowed progress effect · Nunes & Drèze, 2006
At a car wash, customers got one of two cards. Both needed 8 paid washes for a free one. One card had 8 empty spaces; the other had 10 spaces with 2 already stamped.
8-stamp card, none stamped
10-stamp card, 2 pre-stamped
Empty 8-stamp card
19%
10-stamp card, 2 given
34%
Share of customers who completed the card. Same effort, almost twice the completions.
Goal-gradient effect · Kivetz, Urminsky & Zheng, 2006
In a café reward programme, customers bought coffee more often as they got closer to their free coffee. Effort speeds up as the goal gets near, and the study also found that “illusionary” head-start stamps sped customers up.
Illustration of the finding, not study data.
The endowed progress study ran at a car wash. A head start made the same 8 washes feel closer to the free one.
How to use this in Pixalink
Create a “grant stamps” automation on sign-up so every new member starts with 2 stamps on a 10-stamp card. Add a milestone reward at stamp 5 so the goal always feels close.
Milestone rewards
A single reward at stamp 10 feels far away on day one. Put a smaller reward in the middle and every visit has a goal in sight.
Every visit earns a stamp, so progress is visible each time.
A different reward at any stamp, e.g. a free pastry at 5 and a free latte at 10.
A completed card can start again, once, unlimited times or up to a number you set.
A “card completed” message tells the customer their reward is ready.
