Running on Blooms case study snapshot

Challenge

Traditional loyalty programs created friction. Customers had to sign up, remember logins, and track confusing point systems. The checkout process felt more like work than appreciation

Solution

Koin's automatic reward system gives 5% cash back on all orders plus a $10 bonus for local flower deliveries, instantly, with no sign-ups or point tracking required

Results

Customers get rewarded automatically without extra steps. The program drives repeat purchases while staying surprisingly affordable. Rachael now focuses on engagement, not managing a complex system

The challenge: Rewarding loyalty without adding friction

In a competitive floral market, Rachael wanted to give customers a real reason to choose Running on Blooms. Her first idea was a rewards program for flower orders. But traditional loyalty programs came with problems:

  • Customers had to sign up and remember login details

  • Point systems were confusing to track and redeem

  • Extra steps at checkout felt more like work than appreciation

Rachael wanted something simpler. A genuine "thank you" that didn't require extra effort from customers or her team.

The solution: Automatic rewards that work in the background

Koin gave Rachael exactly what she was looking for: a reward system that runs automatically.

  • 5% cashback on all orders

  • Extra $10 bonus for locally delivered fresh flowers

No sign-ups. No point tracking. No hoops to jump through. Customers get rewarded instantly after every purchase. It feels like a gift, not a program.

Results: An easy-to-manage and affordable loyalty solution that drives retention

The system works smoothly in the background. Customers get rewards automatically, which brings them back without adding friction at checkout.

What surprised Rachael most is the cost:

“I can’t believe it’s not costing me!”
Many customers haven't redeemed their rewards yet, but Rachael sees this as a win, not a problem. She's now thinking about ways to remind customers about their reward balances, creating another opportunity to connect.
