Make your loyalty card work harder
- Give the first stamp free on the day you hand the card over. People are more likely to finish a card that’s already started.
- Keep the reward simple: "10th coffee free" beats points, tiers and fine print.
- Put your Google review QR on the back. Regulars are your happiest customers. Make it with our Google review QR code generator or paste your review link above.
- Collect full cards in a jar and do a monthly prize draw for an extra reason to finish one.

Quick answers
How many stamps should a loyalty card have?
Most cafés use 8 to 10 (buy 9, get the 10th free is the classic). Fewer stamps feels easier to finish, which gets more people coming back; more stamps suits cheaper items. Start with 10 for coffee and 6 to 8 for haircuts or car washes.
What paper should I print on?
Thick card, 250 to 350 gsm, so it survives a wallet. Print at 100% (actual size) and double-sided; page 1 is the fronts and page 2 the backs. Or send the PDF to a local print shop.
How do I stop people faking stamps?
Use a custom rubber stamp or hole punch with a unique shape, or initial each stamp. For most small businesses the odd fake costs less than the repeat visits the cards bring.
What should go on the back?
Your address, phone or website, simple terms (one stamp per purchase), and a QR code: your Google review link is a great choice, since loyal customers are your happiest ones.
