I run a small scale business but we have fantastic profits and a lot of repeat customers, and Kangaroo was able to help me develop my own rewards program for my loyal & dedicated customers/clients. Kangaroo was very easy to learn and to navigate, which reduced the time it took to be able to achieve the rewards system that I wanted to great. When you're running a business with a close-knit team but have high production demands, time is very important, and I praise Kangaroo for helping me develop my rewards system without forcing me into spending too much time trying to learn how to navigate the software.

Drawbacks:

I don't have any cons; I still use Kangaroo on my site!

The biggest advantage is that it is fully integrated with Lightspeed POS and E-comm. So, it helps us to create a seamless customer experience. The basic features, such as tracking customer purchase history in analytics and being able to send offers to all of the customers, works at least as well as other loyalty programs.

Drawbacks:

A lot of the additional features promised, such as being able to do targeted campaigns based on purchase history and promotions based on category, don't work as promised. The software doesn't capture the information necessary to do targeted campaigns. And, when you try to do a promotion based on a category, you can't select the category from Lightspeed. You have to tag all of the products, which is a lot of extra work.

Summary:

Benefits:

nice simple product to use ... nice to be able to provide customers with rewards ...

Drawbacks:

missing some features that another product had ... need to be able to let people know when they have a discount ...

Summary:

fairly good prdouct

I love how Kangaroo Rewards integrates with my Lightspeed POS system. It is very straightforward and easy to use. I can customize how my customers receive points/rewards/bonuses and more! It feature automatic campaigns that reach out to my at-risk customers that reminds them that I still should be part of their shopping experience/reminders. I like the support the company gives to the users. They are always willing to improve the rewards system and also willing to listen to make changes that I find not useful/difficult/confusing. We are part of the top 5 users of Kangaroo Rewards in the franchise that I am in and it's been a great experience so far!

My major complaint to the company was the layout on the administrator's website. I find it very difficult to navigate and find exactly what I need. Some of the self-service FAQ's have been down for a bit but they are finally back up. At a conference I attended, Kangaroo Rewards assured to me that there is an update coming and will be available soon that addresses all my concerns! So it's exciting to see that they are listening to user feedback.

Customer retention is very vital to several businesses. Many people hate how cell phone service companies always try to market to get new customers into contracts while neglecting their long time customers and not providing the best service/deals/etc. I see the majority of my sales from 80% as returning customers. So it's important to me to keep reminding them that I should be a destination for their shopping. The rewards does a great deal to keep bringing people back to me while I utilize social media to attract new customers.

Benefits:

I love the sequences I can build and then just automate them to go out.

Drawbacks:

I really love this software, but maybe have more card options even though they have a ton to choose from.

Summary:

Amazing

Benefits:

Very easy to automate in a small business

Drawbacks:

User interface was a bit dated until you get the hang of it

Summary:

Great company, tons of value

The fact that you can send out one single postcard to a home that you specifically want to target for whatever reason is just INSANE! This turns out to be MUCH cheaper than EDDM, but only when used in smaller scale (i.e. targeting a single street of homes or a specific neighborhood). I love the fact that it implements with the CRM we use so that things get sent out automatically as well!

Drawbacks:

I am not 100% certain if gifts and postcards are always sent out. The only real way to find out if a gift was sent out is to either contact the client and ask or to base it off what the company says when you contact them.

This software has significantly cut down on time spent sending out thank you cards, gifts, etc. and has also helped boost our revenue with the "radius bomb" feature! Clients love getting thank you packages in the mail and that has helped with client retention too!

Benefits:

Who ever needs to door hang again with Sendjim? No one. Sending postcards is completely automated. This saves us a ton in labor hour a d labor pay.

Drawbacks:

It does not connect with one of our scheduling Software's (Jobber). Because Jobber Does not have an open API we can't connect to it.

Summary:

No door hanging.
