How it works

From sign-up to regulars, in six steps.

Promotello works with the customers you already have. Set up once, put up a poster, and your staff take it from there with nothing but their phones.

Step 1 · About 15 minutes

Set up your business.

Add your name, address, opening hours and logo. Your page goes into the Promotello directory once our team has checked it.

  • Free, with no card needed
  • Add more locations and team members whenever you like

Step 2 of 3

Where can customers find you?

Continue

Step 2

Create an offer or a loyalty card.

Pick a reward that suits your margins: a free pastry with a coffee, two for one on quiet afternoons, or a free coffee after nine stamps.

  • Set claim limits and an end date
  • Run several offers at once
  • Share it to WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram in a tap

Step 3

Put up your QR poster.

Print a poster for your window, your till or your tables. Anyone who scans it lands on your page, ready to follow you, claim your offer or join your card.

  • A4 and A5 sizes, ready to print
  • Each poster counts its own scans

Step 4

Customers claim and collect on their phones.

Vouchers and loyalty cards live in the customer's Promotello account, so they're always with them and never forgotten at home.

  • No app to download
  • Each customer can claim an offer once

Step 5

Staff scan at the till.

The customer shows their phone and your staff scan it with their own. One tap adds a stamp or redeems a voucher, and nobody can stamp their own card.

  • Works on any staff phone
  • Warns about used or expired vouchers

Step 6

Keep them coming back, and see it working.

Followers get an email about every new offer, and on Growth they get welcome, birthday and win-back rewards automatically. Your dashboard shows what it's all bringing in.

Questions

The practical bits

What phones does it work on?
Any smartphone with a camera and a web browser. Customers and staff use Promotello in the browser, so there's nothing to install.
Do customers need an account?
Yes, a free one. It's how their loyalty card and vouchers follow them between visits, and how we stop the same person claiming an offer twice.
How do my staff get access?
Invite them from the Team page with their email address. Members can scan and redeem; admins can also create offers.
What if I don't want to give a discount?
You don't have to. Lots of businesses offer an extra instead, like a free pastry with a coffee, or a loyalty reward after a number of visits.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit, and Pro and Growth both start with a 30-day free trial. Cancel any time before it ends and you won't be charged.
