Montreal, QC (May 28, 2009)—Internet Merchandising Systems (IMS) today announced the first release of their new real-time loyalty rewards point software module designed specifically for accommodation, tour, bus, ferry and rental companies.
The Loyalty Reward Points module allows users of IMS Voyager software to promote customer loyalty and increase sales by rewarding their customers for purchases through their IMS Voyager system.
Customers earn points while making purchases then redeem those points automatically for discounts and other merchandise.
Loyalty points can be accumulated and redeemed in real-time at the most crucial time in the customer/merchant relationship - at the time of making a purchase. Customers can see their total points available at checkout - either on the screen or printed on the receipt - and can also utilize those points as part of payment toward a purchase.
Among Loyalty Reward Points’ unique features:
- Earning Points. Points are easily assigned to products as a unique points field exists for each product in the ecommerce, tour, hotel, rental and transit modules.
- The Users/shoppers form in the administration area contains “Points” field where administrator can view and also manually change number of points for this user.
- A customer can log into their account and view a summary of their available points at their convenience.
- Redeeming Points. You may set a conversion rate between points and dollars. A 10% conversion rate would mean that customers can redeem 100 earned points by deducting $10 from their next purchase on the store. On the next payment IMS Voyager would add received points and appropriate discount to the order.
“In addition to all of our reservation software’s other integrated marketing features, you can now further increase customer loyalty with the IMS Voyagers ‘Loyalty Reward Points’ system.” said John Shenton, President IMS. “Let your customers accrue points with purchases and use those accrued points against future orders when they make their reservations with you.”
The powerful multi-platform IMS online reservation software application is also mobile capable and includes many features and capabilities to promote and grab attention such as: travel agent booking, corporate booking, wholesaler booking, package booking, bar code ticketing options, dynamic seating selection options, integrated newsletter & email engine, integrated affiliate program, integrated ecommerce module, P2P (Product to Product) up-sell display linking and merchandising plus a powerful coupon discount module.

The ‘Loyalty Reward Points’ software module is a $200.00 US option, but will be included free of charge in all IMS license purchases for the next 60 days.
