Choose who should hear it
Select one customer or a live group that updates as visit and reward activity changes.
Customer messaging
Reach the right customers with something worth opening.
Choose one customer or a live group, understand why they are worth contacting and send a relevant email or push notification without building the audience by hand.
More relevant outreach
A message works better when there is a clear reason to send it.
Instead of sending the same offer to everyone, Loytap helps you start with the customer or group: close to a reward, quiet lately, never redeemed or ready for a useful business update.
Useful messages, not constant promotions
Loyalty progress and visit history give each message a practical reason and a more relevant audience.
Share more than discounts
Send a reward reminder, event invitation, menu update, opening-hours change or timely offer.
Keep control before sending
Write the message, personalise the useful details and preview exactly what customers will receive.
How it works
From customer insight to a sent message
The audience, reason and content stay visible throughout the flow.
- Step 01
Choose a customer or group
Start with a live audience such as almost there or inactive, or search for one person.
- Step 02
Write something relevant
Use their first name, loyalty progress or the reason for the update where appropriate.
- Step 03
Preview and send
Check the recipients and final message before sending by email or push notification.
From customer context to useful message
Know why you are contacting someone before you write the subject line.
A customer profile and live loyalty group make the reason visible first. Then the café can write, preview and send an appropriate email or push notification with a clear audience in mind.
Start with context
Review visits, progress and the reason the customer is in the audience.
Write for that moment
Use a reward reminder, event, menu update or genuine invitation.
Preview before sending
Confirm the recipients and final content while you remain in control.
Audience before announcement
See who is included—and why—before a message is written.
Loytap live groups use current loyalty activity rather than a static list saved months ago. The owner can review the size and purpose of the audience before deciding whether the message is relevant enough to send.
- Use groups such as close to a reward, inactive or never redeemed.
- Let membership change as new visits and rewards are recorded.
- Search for one customer when a group message would be too broad.
Relevant, then ready
Preview the message and recipient count before anything goes out.
The writing step keeps the selected audience, channel and final content together. That makes it easier to catch a generic message, an unclear offer or the wrong recipient group while the café still has control.
- Choose email or push notification for the appropriate update.
- Personalise useful details without pretending every message is one-to-one.
- Respect message preferences and the marketing rules that apply to your café.
Contextual vs generic
The audience should explain why the message deserves to exist.
A large mailing list is not automatically a useful customer relationship. Loyalty context lets the café narrow the audience and write for a real moment instead of turning every update into a blanket discount.

A practical audience
One or many
Reach one customer without losing the ability to work at group level.
Search for an individual when the message is personal, or use a live group when the reason applies to several customers at once.
Questions
What you may want to know
Can I message one customer?
Yes. You can search for an individual customer when a group message is not appropriate.
What are live customer groups?
Live groups organise customers using current loyalty activity, such as being close to a reward or not visiting recently.
Can customers opt out?
Cafés must respect message preferences and applicable marketing rules. Loytap is designed to support responsible recipient selection and messaging workflows.
