How the
Crossroads / The Nook
Loyalty Program Works
Crossroads & The Nook offers two convenient ways for customers to earn stamps in their loyalty program. Customers earn stamps through two primary offers:
Mega Combos: Customers earn one stamp for every Mega Combo purchased. After ten stamps, their eleventh Mega Combo is free.
Mega Teas: Customers earn one stamp for every Mega Tea purchased. After fifteen stamps, their next Mega Tea is free.
In addition to scanning TempCodes in the Stamp Me app, Crossroads offers another convenient way for customers to earn stamps for their on-the-go purchases.
OneStamps is ideal for fast-paced physical businesses, online businesses, or hybrids, eliminating the need for QR codes or in-store devices. Instead, Crossroads & The Nook simply adds QR stickers to their takeaway cups for members to scan.
When a customer purchases a Mega Tea or Mega Combo, they earn one stamp by scanning the QR code with Stamp Me’s in-app camera. OneStamps offers a crucial advantage for Crossroads: security. The single-use, expiring codes protect against fraud and misuse.
Not only that, but this method makes it easy for customers to scan at any time, whether it’s when picking up their yummy beverage or in their cars! This makes for a swift and safe stamping process.
