Top 5 Customer Loyalty & Rewards Programs in Singapore (2022) ✅
Customer loyalty in 2022 is no longer just about membership cards and offering points for future redemptions. As part of a far larger brand strategy to appeal to consumers, loyalty marketing has progressed from the transactional “spend-and-earn-loyalty-points” model to one that ultimately helps brands understand how to serve their consumers better.
If you’ve read our earlier article on what loyalty program marketing is and why brands should adopt loyalty marketing, you may be aware of how increasingly sophisticated loyalty marketing has gotten. From providing businesses with the nitty-gritty about their customers, to enabling brands to roll out targeted marketing campaigns enticing repeated purchases – loyalty marketing today requires far more complex infrastructures and system support than in the past.
Rather than trying to build a customer loyalty programme on your own, we’ve hence identified 5 customer loyalty and rewards programs providers in Singapore that can help your company deliver the loyalty programs you deserve:

Strengths: Affordable, user-friendly DIY CRM & loyalty management system with minimal setup time
Services: Member management, marketing and campaign automation, visualised reporting, collateral template builder
Notable Clientele: Cathay Organisation, OG Department Stores, Irvins Salted egg, Makisan
Another local award-winning CRM and loyalty software, Poket, provides merchants with an affordable, flexible system that users can set up and launch within minutes.
With prices starting from as little as S$30 per month (when billed yearly), Poket is a viable option for small and medium establishments looking to dip their toes into loyalty marketing in today’s digital age. In addition to boasting an extensive repertoire of features and a multitude of methods for operating any rewards program, their Online Loyalty Program also makes self-setup easy and practically instant, minimising any lead time that would typically be required with most vendors.
However, one thing to note is that Poket’s standard plans (featured on the website) do not come by default as white-labelled solutions. As such, consumer redemptions and rewards will mainly take place through Poket’s app or platform unless separately requested.
Advocado

Strengths: An approved Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) vendor, user-friendly CRM & loyalty management system with minimal setup time
Services: Member management, marketing and campaign automation, visualised reporting
Notable Clientele: Yoogane, Eyechamp, Pro Trim Hair Studio, Greendot
Much like Poket, Advocado is an alternative affordable cloud loyalty software that requires minimal setup time and effort, catering mainly towards small and medium enterprises.
With a ‘one price plan for every business’ policy, Advocado charges a standard fee of US$115 per month (billed annually) per outlet, and supports up to 5,000 members for each outlet under the plan. In return, brands can benefit from up to 1,000 free transactional SMS per outlet each month, and gain free lifetime upgrades for their loyalty software.
For companies that require more guidance and assistance with implementing their customer loyalty program, Advocado also offers a customised success package targeted at helping brands understand how to engage consumers effectively. This package can benefit businesses just starting on their loyalty marketing journey or require additional marketing advice to get their campaigns going.
Valuedesign
Strengths: Strong presence in Asia, a prepaid rewards card that is integrated with POS
Services: Prepaid function, point function, member management, data analytics
A market leader for rewards programmes in Japan, Valuedesign’s presence spans across Asia, serving over 710 customers and 70,000 stores. However, unlike other listed CRM solutions vendors, Valuedesign’s signature product is a flagship card program (Valuecard) equipped with a common loyalty marketing feature instead of a cloud-based solution.
Targeted mainly at F&B businesses and physical store retailers, Valuedesign helps brands incentivise repeated visits and purchases through prepaid rewards cards that track points, rewards and spending – reminiscent of traditional membership cards. To keep up with the times, Valuedesign’s program now works with physical membership cards and e-cards accessible via its Valuecard app. Businesses looking for an e-wallet solution or more traditional means of loyalty marketing can consider Valuedesign for a reliable membership card program.
