If your company relies on repeat customers—whether you operate a mall, airport retail, family entertainment center, or any customer-oriented business—loyalty is no longer a choice. The more options consumers have, the simpler it becomes for them to switch. That’s where OKEN enters the picture. It provides you with a quick, easy, and adaptable means to create your own loyalty app, tailored to your brand, and launched in five weeks.

This post takes you through how OKEN- the customer loyalty program works, why it’s unique, and why it’s one of the wisest strategies for developing stronger customer relationships.

Why Customer Loyalty Deserves a Better Tool

Loyalty programs are not a nice-to-have anymore. They’ve become critical to driving repeat business. The Bond Loyalty Report (2023) says 79% of consumers say loyalty programs make them more likely to continue doing business with a brand, and loyalty members spend 27% more than non-members.

But what customer loyalty looks like is changing. Consumers seek simplicity, speed, and personalization — and they want to find it on their smartphones. According to PYMNTS(2023), 52% of users say they’d be more inclined to join a loyalty program if offered via a mobile app. OKEN was built to do exactly that.

Just look at how Starbucks has done it. Starbucks’ digital ecosystem includes its Starbucks Rewards Program, which has over 40 million members, allowing users to earn stars, receive personalized offerings and even ordering ahead—all within a single easy-to-navigate app. It isn’t just about giving you benefits — it’s about the ease and the appreciation.” This come-in-hand mix has delivered stronger retention and larger spend, creating a loyalty benchmark for every industry.”

Week 1: Your Brand, Your Design

OKEN does not believe in cookie-cutter templates. From Week 1, their design team collaborates with you to create an app that feels and looks like your brand. Everything from the layout to the colors is tailored to your business.

This is not all about appearance. Mobile first impressions count. A simple, branded look and feel gets people to trust the app more and use it regularly.

When you provide customers with a familiar and intuitive experience, they linger longer. Whether you’re operating a mall that wishes to showcase its stores and events, or a retail chain that must showcase rewards and promotions, OKEN makes the design fit your brand story.

Week 1 to Week 3: Configuration That Fits Your Business

While design is in progress, configuration kicks in. This is where the loyalty engine comes alive. You’ll define all the important pieces:

• Add or remove store locations
• Set up loyalty rules—points, tiers, rewards, expiry dates
• Run promotional campaigns or limited-time offers
• Create personalized customer segments
• Add gamification features like badges or tiers

This whole process runs on a user-friendly backend. You don’t need any technical skills. You can log in, make changes, push new offers—anytime.

And because it’s mobile-first, you’ll be meeting customers where they are. Mobile app users are 157% more likely to convert than mobile web users. 70% of all mobile commerce transactions happen via apps. That’s why getting this step right is critical.

Want more proof? Check how Dunkin’ Donuts built their DD Perks program. By allowing users to earn points and redeem free beverages via their mobile app, combined with features like personalized offers and mobile ordering, Dunkin’ created a highly engaged customer base. The app made ordering seamless and added real value, which boosted customer engagement and repeat visits. It’s a clear example of how configuration and personalization come together to drive results.

Week 4: Testing Every Detail

Before you go live, the OKEN-customer loyalty program team runs a full test cycle. This includes:

• Verifying how loyalty rules function
• Checking integrations with your CRM and POS
• Ensuring offers appear correctly
• Testing navigation and responsiveness across devices

Nothing is left to chance. The goal here is simple—launch an app that’s not just good, but flawless. Customers don’t give second chances to buggy apps. OKEN makes sure yours is ready for real-world use on Day 1.

Week 5: Your App Goes Live

By Week 5, your loyalty app is ready to go live—on both iOS and Android. It’s fully branded, feature-rich, and ready to start engaging customers.

What you get is more than just an app. You get tools to manage and grow your loyalty program in real-time:

• Push Notifications – Send timely updates, offers, and reminders
• Analytics Dashboard – See which campaigns work, which users engage the most, and what offers perform best
• Customer Feedback Tools – Collect input and make improvements on the go
