Voucher acceptance points: Retention through attractive conditions

For voucher acceptance points, city vouchers are more than just a means of payment. They are a tool for customer loyalty. Local businesses and service providers not only want to serve customers once, but also want to retain them in the long term. This is where the Awiti voucher platform comes in.

With license fees of just 0.5% on all voucher redemptions, Awiti offers the basis for offering very attractive total fees for redeeming vouchers for every region. The surcharge required in the region for local operating costs of ~ 0.5% and the additional ~ 0.5% required for operating the bonus system and the donation function mean that the total fees can be as low as 1.5%. This is of course decided by region and adapted to the respective needs.

The recommendation should not be overwritten a critical threshold of 2%, as this 2% is regarded by many voucher acceptance points as the maximum tolerable costs, as other common payment methods, such as credit cards, are also ~ 2%. This gives voucher acceptance points the opportunity to strengthen their customer loyalty without having to bear higher costs than they currently exist.

Voucher users: More than just a means of payment

Voucher users are certainly positive about initiatives that strengthen their region. Yet they are faced with the choice of how they want to pay for their purchases. Here, Awiti focuses on attractiveness through added value. The voucher platform offers users the opportunity to collect bonus points, which they can use for themselves or donate to regional non-profit organizations. This option of saving or giving creates incentives for regular use of the city voucher, as it serves not only as a means of payment, but as a tool for personal or regional enrichment.

Non-profit organizations and projects: Involvement for common goals

Nonprofit organizations and projects are often disregarded in the everyday economic cycle, but are of great importance. The Awiti voucher platform creates a win-win situation: These groups receive donations that they urgently need, while voucher users have the opportunity to do something good in their region through their purchases. The automatic donation option, which is carried out with every purchase with a voucher, integrates these organizations directly into the cycle, which not only means financial support, but also creates an emotional connection between voucher users and the supported projects.

Entrepreneurs: employee retention and regional proximity

Entrepreneurs want to build a strong bond with their employees. Tax-free contributions are a popular instrument here. Awiti not only offers the opportunity to make such contributions, but also underlines the emotional connection to the region. By receiving a regional city voucher, the employee creates a proximity to their hometown that is missing from vouchers valid throughout Germany. At the same time, Awiti enables cost-effective management of employee vouchers through its integrated business portal.

The operator: efficiency and flexibility

The operator of a voucher platform is responsible for the smooth running and success of the system. Awiti makes this process much easier. The fully automated processing and digital management ensure that daily tasks can be completed in the shortest possible time. Awiti also offers flexibility: Regions can decide for themselves which parts of the business they want to take over and can obtain services such as marketing or market launch from the platform provider if required.

Conclusion: Joint success through active cooperation

A successful city voucher system depends on the committed participation of all parties involved. Awiti creates the basis for this collaboration by taking into account the needs and motivations of voucher acceptance points, voucher users, non-profit organizations, entrepreneurs and operators. Through attractive conditions, added value for users, support for charitable projects and efficient administration, the Awiti voucher platform becomes a lively ecosystem in which all players can benefit equally. The region is gaining strength, loyalty and sustainability — and the voucher system is becoming a success that everyone involved is happy to be a part of.
