Solutions · Geofenced notifications

Reach customers when they're right around the corner.

We draw a virtual boundary around your venue. When a loyalty member walks into it, their phone shows a timely nudge — a reward waiting, double stamps, today's special — at the exact moment they can walk in.

Most marketing reaches people at the wrong time: an email at 9pm about a lunch offer, a social post seen from the sofa. Geofencing flips that around. Your message arrives when a customer is a few minutes' walk away and deciding where to go.

It's one of the things that makes Star Loyalty different from a standard loyalty app. We set up the geofence around each of your venues, write the messages and decide when they should fire, so proximity alerts feel helpful rather than intrusive.

What's included

  • A geofence set up around each of your venues
  • Proximity notifications to opted-in loyalty members
  • Messages tailored by time of day — coffee in the morning, lunch at noon, courts in the afternoon
  • Rules that stop customers being messaged too often
  • Different offers for slow periods and busy periods
  • Reporting on visits that follow a proximity notification

Right message, right place, right time

A loyalty member walking down your street at 11:45 sees "Your lunch reward is ready — 2 minutes away". Someone passing your padel club on a quiet afternoon sees "Courts free from 2pm — book now and earn double points". Because the message arrives when they are already nearby, it turns intent into a visit.

Built to be welcome, not annoying

Customers opt in when they join your loyalty programme and can switch alerts off at any time. We cap how often anyone is notified and only send messages with a genuine reason behind them — a reward ready to claim, a quiet-time offer or something new to try.

Strongest alongside slow-day campaigns

Geofencing reaches people who are close by. Our SMS & email campaigns reach your whole member list. Together they give you two ways to fill quiet periods: one in the moment, one planned ahead.

Available across Hertfordshire, Essex & central London

FAQ

Geofenced notifications: your questions answered

What is geofencing?

A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn around a location, such as your café or club. When a loyalty member who has opted in enters that area, their phone can show a notification from your business.

Will customers find it intrusive?

Not when it's done properly. Members opt in, can turn alerts off at any time, and we limit how often anyone is notified so every message feels relevant.

Do customers need to download an app?

No. Proximity alerts work through the loyalty card your customers save to their phone — there's no separate app to download.

Can I have a geofence around each of my sites?

Yes. Multi-location operators can have a geofence around every venue, each with its own messages and offers.
