Project Overview

This project focuses on building a dedicated mobile loyalty and rewards app for a tanning studio, designed to replace physical stamp cards with a secure, modern digital system. Customers earn stamps for visits, track their progress in real time, and redeem rewards directly in-store, creating a familiar and premium experience similar to well-known food and retail loyalty programs.


The app is supported by a web-based admin dashboard for staff, allowing rewards to be created, stamps to be issued, and redemptions to be validated in person. This ensures the system remains simple to operate while preventing misuse or fraud commonly seen with traditional loyalty cards.


The solution is built to be flexible and scalable, allowing branding, reward rules, and future locations to be added without rebuilding the platform. The end result is a loyalty system that increases repeat visits, improves customer retention, and feels seamless for both customers and staff.

Scope of Work

1. Deployment & Infrastructure

We will deploy a secure, production-ready platform that supports both the customer mobile application and the staff admin dashboard. The infrastructure is designed to be scalable, reliable, and suitable for future expansion, including additional locations or features, without requiring a rebuild.

2. Access & Security

The platform will include secure user authentication for customers and controlled access for staff and administrators. Customer accounts will be tied to verified contact details, while staff access will be role-based to ensure only authorized actions such as issuing stamps or approving rewards can be performed.

3. Customer Experience

Customers will interact with a dedicated mobile app where they can join the studio, view rewards, track progress, and redeem offers. The experience is designed to be simple, familiar, and intuitive, mirroring well-known loyalty programs while reflecting the studio’s branding.

4. Loyalty Program Management

The system will support flexible loyalty structures, including stamp-based rewards and optional tiered programs. Studios will be able to define how stamps are earned, what rewards are available, and how customers progress through different reward levels.

5. Fraud Prevention & Validation

All rewards and stamps will be issued or redeemed through staff validation, removing the risk of customer-side abuse. Redemptions are logged and linked to individual customer accounts, ensuring accountability and preventing screenshots, shared accounts, or unauthorized rewards.

Scope of work details

1. Customer Experience

1. Customer Experience

1. Customer Experience

Customer downloads the mobile app

  1. Joins the tanning studio via a QR code or studio code

  2. The app instantly reflects the studio’s branding and rewards

  3. Customer earns stamps for visits

  4. Rewards are redeemed in-store with staff validation

The experience mirrors well-known loyalty systems such as Nando’s or Starbucks Rewards, but tailored to tanning studios.

2. Loyalty Program Structure(Ideas)

Basic Stamp Model

  • 1 visit = 1 stamp

  • 6 stamps = free tanning session

Optional Tiered Rewards

  • Bronze: 0–5 visits

  • Silver: 6–15 visits (priority booking, bonus stamp days)

  • Gold: 16+ visits (free upgrades, guest passes)

Additional Reward Ideas

  • Free session

  • Free upgrade (longer session)

  • Bring-a-friend bonus

  • Birthday reward

  • Off-peak bonus stamps

3. Fraud Prevention & Validation

How validation works

  • Rewards and stamps are issued or redeemed only by staff

  • Staff scan a one-time QR code generated in the admin dashboard, or approve stamps directly

  • Each redemption is logged and tied to the customer’s account

  • Accounts are linked to verified user details (name + phone/email)

This prevents

  • Screenshot abuse

  • Sharing accounts

  • Fake redemptions

  • Self-awarded stamps

No physical cards, no loopholes.

4. Staff & Admin Dashboard (Web-Based)

Staff do not need a separate app.

Dashboard Capabilities

  • Create and edit reward programs

  • Issue or adjust stamps (manual override if needed)

  • Approve redemptions in real time

  • View customer visit and reward history

  • See repeat visits and top customers

The dashboard remains simple, fast, and browser-based.

5. Branding & Multi-Location Ready

From the studio’s perspective:

  • You receive a branded rewards app experience

From a system perspective:

  • One centralized platform

  • Each studio has:

    • Its own branding (logo, colors)

    • Custom reward rules

    • Support for multiple locations in the future

This approach allows the platform to scale without rebuilding from scratch.

6. Technology Overview

Mobile App: iOS and Android (single shared codebase)

  • Backend: Centralized rewards and validation engine

  • Admin Panel: Web-based dashboard for staff

  • Authentication: Phone number or email login

  • QR Validation: Secure, one-time redemption flow

7. Project Scope

  • Customer-facing mobile app

  • Studio onboarding flow

  • Digital stamp-based rewards

  • Secure QR-based validation

  • Staff/admin web dashboard

  • Basic analytics and activity logs

  • Subscriptions or memberships

  • Push notification campaigns

  • Multi-location support

  • Advanced analytics

  • Referral tracking

Questions

Studio & Locations

-Do you currently operate one location or multiple locations?

-If multiple, should customers earn and redeem rewards across all locations or per location?

Loyalty Program Structure

-Do you want a simple stamp system (e.g. 6 visits = free session), or a tiered rewards system?

-How many visits should be required to unlock a free or discounted session?

-Are there specific rewards you already offer or want to introduce?

Customer Accounts

-Should rewards be tied strictly to one individual (no shared accounts)?

In-Store Validation

-How would you prefer staff to validate visits and redemptions, QR scan, manual approval, or both?

-Will staff be using phones, tablets, or existing computers for validation?

Branding

-Do you have existing brand assets (logo, colors, fonts) to apply to the app?

Notifications & Engagement

-Are there any promotions you regularly run that should be supported in the app?

Launch & Timeline

-Is there a target launch date you’re aiming for?

-Is this intended as a pilot for one studio or something you may expand later?
