Every tool you need to build
a loyal customer base.
Blinko gives local businesses a complete loyalty and engagement platform — powered by AI, managed in minutes, running in the background while you run your business.
How do I get customers to engage from the moment they walk in?
QR Code Check-In
Turns a phone camera into your loyalty terminal — no hardware, no app required for the first scan.
Display your unique Blinko QR code anywhere in your location — a counter stand, table card, or window sticker. Customers scan with their camera and they're instantly enrolled. Every scan is logged, timestamped, and tied to that customer's record automatically.
Welcome Offer
Converts every first-time visitor into an engaged customer before they even leave.
Set a reward that triggers automatically on a customer's very first check-in — a free item, a discount, anything you choose. It requires zero effort on your part after setup and gives every new face a reason to come back.
Today's Special
Creates urgency that moves customers from "maybe later" to "right now."
Launch a flash deal that's live only for that day. It appears to all your followers as a limited-time offer, driving foot traffic when you need it most — slow Tuesdays, a rainy afternoon, or a last push before closing.
Event Invites & RSVP
Fills your events with the customers most likely to show up — your existing loyals.
Create an event invite campaign and push it to your follower list. Customers RSVP directly through the app. You see a live headcount before the night starts, so you can staff and prep with confidence.
How do I turn one-time visitors into regulars?
Stamp Card
The loyalty punch card — reimagined digitally, impossible to lose.
Set a visit goal and a reward for hitting it. Blinko tracks every customer's progress automatically. There's no paper to stamp, no card to replace, and no way for customers to cheat — every check-in is GPS-verified at your location.
Visit Milestones
Rewards your best customers at the moments that matter — their 5th, 10th, 25th visit.
Configure rewards that trigger automatically at specific visit counts. A free coffee at visit 10, a VIP discount at visit 25. Customers get a surprise-and-delight moment; you get a loyal regular who feels genuinely recognised.
Visit Challenges
Turns a stretch goal into a game customers want to win.
Set a short-term challenge — "Visit 5 times in 2 weeks and earn X." The time limit creates urgency that stamp cards don't. Customers check in more frequently while the challenge is live, then form a habit that outlasts it.
Time Window Challenges
Turns your slow hours into your most engaged ones.
Challenge customers to visit on specific days or within a specific time window — Monday lunches, weekend mornings, whatever your slow period is. Each qualifying visit earns progress toward a reward, shifting demand where you need it most.
Birthday & Anniversary Rewards
The personal touch that makes customers feel known, not just tracked.
Send an automatic reward on a customer's birthday or their anniversary of following your business. It takes about 30 seconds to set up and runs forever. Nothing builds goodwill faster than remembering the small things.
How do I re-engage customers who have gone quiet?
Win-Back Campaigns
Automatically reaches out to lapsed customers before they forget you exist.
Define what "lapsed" means for your business — 30 days without a visit, 60, whatever fits. When a customer crosses that threshold, Blinko automatically sends them a targeted offer. No manual list-building, no bulk messaging — just a quiet campaign working in the background.
Advanced Coupons
The right offer type for every situation — not just a flat discount.
Go beyond simple discounts with percentage off, fixed dollar off, buy-one-get-one, tiered rewards, and expiring coupons. Set exactly when offers expire to create urgency, and configure minimum spend thresholds to protect your margins.
Which customers matter most, and what's actually working?
Dashboard Analytics
Gives you the numbers that matter, without a data analyst.
See check-ins, redemptions, campaign performance, and follower growth in a single view. Every metric is contextualised — not just "how many" but "compared to last week" — so you always know if you're trending in the right direction.
Repeat Customer Tracking
Shows you who your real regulars are — and flags the ones you're about to lose.
Growth identifies customers who visit 2+ times per month and tracks whether their frequency is rising or falling. Knowing your regulars by name (and habit) is what separates businesses that grow from ones that simply stay busy.
AI Campaign Insights
Tells you not just what happened, but what to do differently.
After your campaigns collect data, the AI surfaces specific, actionable recommendations — "Your stamp card completion rate is 28%. Lowering the goal from 10 to 8 could increase completions by ~35%." These aren't generic tips; they're drawn from your actual numbers.
Morning Brief
Starts your day with a 30-second read on how your business performed overnight.
Each morning, Blinko surfaces a plain-language summary of the previous day — check-ins, top campaigns, new followers, anything worth knowing. Open the app with your coffee and you're already caught up.
Weekly Performance Report
Your whole week's performance, in your inbox every Monday — no login required.
A weekly email digest covering check-ins, redemptions, top-performing campaigns, new followers, and a week-over-week trend line. Designed for owners who are too busy to check a dashboard daily but want to stay on top of the numbers that matter.
AI-first platform
Marketing Copilot.
Your AI retention strategist, always on.
Most loyalty apps give you charts. Blinko gives you Marketing Copilot — an AI that reads those charts, spots dormant customers and missed opportunities, and recommends the exact campaign to run next. One tap to create it. No setup, no guesswork.
How much time will this actually take me to manage?
Ask Blinko AI
A business advisor that knows your data and never gives you a generic answer.
Ask anything: "Why did my redemptions drop this week?", "Which customers haven't been in for 30 days?", "What campaign should I run for summer?" Ask Blinko pulls from your actual business data to give you answers that are specific to you — not advice written for some hypothetical business.
Marketing Copilot
Your AI retention marketing strategist — spots the opportunity, builds the campaign, launches with one tap.
Marketing Copilot proactively monitors your business: dormant customers, underperforming campaigns, missed win-back windows. When it spots an opportunity, it recommends a specific campaign with the title, description, and audience already filled in. You review it and create it with one tap — no setup, no guesswork.
Customer Chat
Direct 1:1 messaging between you and your customers — for support, questions, and personal engagement.
Your followers can message you directly from the app, and you can reach out to them individually from your dashboard. Whether it's answering a question before a visit, handling a complaint gracefully, or sending a personal thank-you to a regular — Customer Chat gives your business a human voice that automated campaigns can't replace.
Purchase Verification
Ensures only paying customers earn rewards — no free riders.
Require staff confirmation or receipt verification before a check-in advances a customer's progress. This makes your loyalty program financially sound without adding friction for genuine customers. Configurable per campaign, so you only apply it where it matters.
Team Member Access
Lets your staff manage the counter experience without touching your settings.
Invite employees by email. They can confirm redemptions, view campaign progress, and handle customer interactions from their own login. They can't change billing, campaigns, or settings — your account stays in your control.
