A new loyalty app for independent small businesses is set to launch in the UK

3rd October 2024

An exciting new app which allows independent retail, leisure and hospitality owners to offer customers a digital loyalty scheme is being launched in the UK.

Introducing Llama Points, an innovative app which allows flexible promotions that can be set up for as little as ten minutes.

Aimed at helping small businesses generate more customers as well as giving customers the convenient alternative to paper-based loyalty schemes because let’s be honest, we’re always losing those half-stamped cards.

After successfully launching in Switzerland in 2023, the app is now being rolled out to the UK with several businesses in Leeds being the first to sign up – how lucky are we?

Llama Points was developed and created in Switzerland by BFM Solutions, a tech
organisation, founded by British ex Pats, Fergus Rae and Bernadette Haslam with Swedish software engineer Pat Magnus Johansson.

Using the app is simple, all customers need to do is scan their phone each time
they make a purchase, they will then be able to see when they have collected enough points to claim a free item or in-store promotion.

Llama Points co-founder, Fergus Rae said: “We created Llama Points to make a difference for all small businesses, by making a digital loyalty program available to everybody! The retail and hospitality sectors have faced huge challenges in recent years, customers are being much more cautious with their spending, and always looking for value”.

“We want to benefit both and keep the high street alive, by helping small businesses to drive footfall and contribute back to the local economy whilst enabling them to get greater visibility and easily reward their loyal customers.”

Llama Points is available to download across all mobile platforms, find out more here via their website.
