Service Physics is bringing a different way of looking at our operation through data and using lean methods to solve problems. We have never thought like this.

Turn transactional tactics into loyalty systems that last

Is your loyalty program driving real business value or just offering discounts? Service Physics helps design loyalty programs that are easy to execute, meaningful to guests, and aligned with your operational and strategic goals.

Our loyalty design work eliminates the following common challenges:

Frontline complexity

Eliminate loyalty workflows that slow down service or confuse team members during peak hours

Fragmented guest experiences

Create a seamless loyalty journey across mobile, in-store, and digital channels

Ineffective program structure

Design rewards that reinforce guest behavior without over-discounting or eroding margins

Low engagement and unclear ROI

Boost participation with personalized offers and track performance with meaningful metrics

Why Service Physics for loyalty program design

Most customer loyalty programs start with promise but fall short in practice. 

We take a different approach. We design loyalty programs that your teams can deliver, your guests want to engage with, and your business can scale. From segmentation to training, we work across marketing, ops, and tech to build loyalty systems that create real connections and measurable returns.

Our loyalty program design services eliminate the following types of execution challenges:

Built for behavior

Programs are designed to drive frequency, increase visit value, and deepen brand connection rather than simply reward spend.

Grounded in data 

Segmentation, modeling, and analytics inform every aspect of loyalty design, from structure to offers to rollout.

Frontline execution

Loyalty is embedded into workflows, systems, and training so staff can support it without added friction.
