			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We continue to answer questions of our users. One of the frequent questions – How to organize bonus points redemption on the client web site using results from PointLoaylty system?<br />Current version of the system does not have any functionality to support points’ redemption with prizes to program members. We believe this functionality is not required. Every business is so unique that it is almost impossible to come up with a generic solution convenient for everyone.<br />On other side it is fairly easy to organize the system of rewarding customers with gifts and prizes.<br />For example:<br />If a program owner want to create following reward system<br />- for every 10 earned bonus points give customer an option to choose a gift from list A.<br />- for every 1000 earned points – gifts from list B.</p>
<p>How to organize this system on your site?<br />1. Your customer enters your site. You request the amount of bonus points he earned from our system (API &#8211; <a href="http://www.pointloyalty.com/web20_details.html" mce_href="http://www.pointloyalty.com/web20_details.html"><font color="#0000ff">http://www.pointloyalty.com/web20_details.html</font></a>).<br />2. Assume he has 45 bonus points.<br />3. On the page designed to choose gifts you display only items from list A. Items from list B remain invisible.<br />4. If the customer selects some gift – call our API and reduce amount of his points by 10 points. After choosing 4 gifts, items in list A also become invisible.</p>
<p>Why we don’t want to automate this process?<br />We don’t know following:<br />- what design you choose for the page with gifts<br />- what should happen in your system after customer gets a gift<br />- do you want to display unavailable gifts to your clients?<br />- etc</p>
<p>This functionality despite looking simple will be individual for every client.<br />Of course we will help you with integrating our system with your software; we will take into account all your requirements and answer all your questions. We can also implement this task for you on individual base.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Answers to additional questions on advanced use of PointLoyalty Manager system.<br /><b>How to use your system for coalition loyalty programs with a single loyalty operator?</b> </p>
<p>There are no significant differences in single operator mode against casual system’s usage.<br />Example – let loyalty operator manage common program for N participants.<br />Loyalty operator in this case is an ordinary client of our system.<br />- Program members’ base (if required) can be common for all participants (merchants).<br />- If merchant want to create offer rules for a particular shop – he/she needs to add field “shop” to the list of action attributes and use a filter on shop identifier.<br />- If certain retail shop needs to have separate product categories – no problems. Our categories are organized as trees – it is easy to create a separate branch of categories.<br />- Organize loyalty offers in different programs and you will solve the problem having separate reports.<br />- You don’t even need to have a dedicated application server for the operator – use our hosted “onDemand” solution.</p>
<p>We bypass such tasks as organization of bonus points redemption – this is beyond the the capacity of our system.<br />For all technical and organizational questions on using PointLoyalty Manager in coalition loyalty programs please contact us <a href="mailto:support@pointloyalty.com" mce_href="mailto:support@pointloyalty.com"><font color="#0000ff">support@pointloyalty.com</font></a>. We will help you to solve any problem.</p>
