How to Use the Calculator
Follow these steps:
Step 1 — Select the Type of Loyalty Program
Choose from:
Points Program
Tier Rewards Program
Paid Membership Program
Referral Rewards Program
Custom Program
Each option auto-fills recommended default values so you can model real-world scenarios fast.
Step 2 — Enter Your Shop’s Monthly Customer Volume
Example:
150 customers per month
300 customers per month
50 trucks for commercial diesel shops
This defines your potential member pool.
Step 3 — Enter Your Average Ticket Size
For example:
Auto repair: $180–$350
Truck repair: $600–$1,200
Trailer repair: $300–$800
This value helps calculate total revenue.
Step 4 — Set Your Current Customer Visit Frequency
Most repair customers visit:
Auto repair: 2–3 times per year
Truck repair: 3–6 times per year depending on fleet contracts
Enter your real average.
Step 5 — Enter Loyalty Program Adoption Rate
This is the percentage of customers who will join the program.
Typical values:
Points program: 35–60%
Membership program: 10–25%
Referral program: 20–40%
If you’re unsure, start with 40%.
Step 6 — Enter Expected Increase in Spending and Visit Frequency
This depends on your loyalty structure:
Points programs: 8–15% higher spending
Tier programs: 10–25% more visits
Membership programs: more consistent service intervals
Referral programs: lower acquisition cost + increased volume
You can adjust these numbers to simulate impact.
Step 7 — Fill in Program Cost Fields
These fields help you calculate net profit:
Reward Cost (% of revenue) — typical 3–10%
Membership Fee (optional) — $10–$30/month
One-time Setup Cost — software, design, onboarding
The calculator subtracts these costs when computing final ROI.
