A launch proposal from Village Rewards
Tonight is about keeping more of Mont Albert’s value inside Mont Albert.
What’s
ours?
The chains do not just sell products.
They remember.
Mont Albert already has the hard part.
Trust.
Now trust needs
a system.
One village-wide loyalty system, powered by a shared pool of trader-offered rewards.
Not just
your shop.
The whole street.
Earn anywhere in the village.
Redeem from a shared pool.
A small thank-you: sample, upgrade, add-on or token.
Useful mid-tier reasons to come back and explore.
Higher-value moments that feel memorable and worth saving for.
Points reset when a reward is redeemed.
20 × free coffees at the 50-point tier.
10 × seasonal posies at the 100-point tier.
5 × gift cards, objects, upgrades or member-only treats.
Each trader chooses what to contribute — and how many.
Coffee.
Flowers.
A Haircut.
One village trip.
Your café regular can discover the florist.
Your florist regular can discover the Barber.
The village itself becomes the loyalty program.
Give customers a reason to come back next week, not just someday.
Let nearby businesses introduce customers to each other through one shared reward ladder.
Understand frequency, redemption, return visits and what is actually working.
One shop cannot out-Flybuys Flybuys.
A village can.
Who is coming back and whether loyalty is improving frequency.
Spend signals, tier choices, reward redemptions and customer value over time.
Where customers tend to go before and after visiting your business.
And the association gets something it has never really had.
Evidence.
90 days.
A practical launch period to prove customer adoption, trader value and the shared reward pool.
No automatic charge after the pilot. Any future paid tools are optional.
No percentage cut. No hidden transaction fee.
You choose what to contribute, which tier it sits in, and the quantity available.
We never touch your normal customer transaction.
If someone chooses your reward from the pool, they walk through your door.
No percentage cut. Just the reward quantity you chose to make available.
Enough density to make the village feel joined-up from day one.
A real foundation of customers earning and redeeming in the village.
A clear readout on behaviour, adoption and next-step value.
“Scan this to earn points across Mont Albert and choose rewards from the village pool.”
That is the whole customer explanation.
Confirm anchor traders, reward tiers and available reward quantities.
Install QR signage and train staff with one sentence.
Launch with a simple village-wide member invitation.
Review the data and decide the long-term model together.
We can keep acting like separate shops on the same street.
Or we can start acting like one village.
Let Mont Albert
go first.
Permission to launch Village Rewards as a Mont Albert pilot.
The first businesses willing to contribute rewards to the shared pool, test, learn and shape the system.
Mont Albert:
a village that remembers its regulars.
