About
From Legacy Loyalty to Measurable Growth

With over 250 locations, this national family dining brand migrated from a legacy loyalty platform to Thanx in 2025 to modernize its guest engagement strategy. Despite a large existing loyalty member base, engagement was low and growth had stalled. Within six months of launching with Thanx, the brand dramatically increased acquisition, improved engagement quality, and generated millions in trackable digital revenue.

By focusing on frictionless enrollment, lifecycle marketing, and targeted campaigns, the brand turned loyalty into a measurable driver of revenue and repeat behavior.

What Made It Work

Why This Brand Chose Thanx
  • Frictionless enrollment: Looking to dramatically increase signup rates with a seamless guest experience
  • Measurable outcomes: Clear visibility into revenue, engagement, and campaign performance
  • Lifecycle marketing tools: Ability to move guests from first visit to habitual behavior
  • Fast, low-risk transition: Needed a smooth migration from legacy provider with immediate impact
Frictionless Enrollment That Drives Real Acquisition

Signups per location increased from 13 to 88 on average, a 600% lift, while 67% of all new members were net-new customers, not just migrated users. This ensured the program was growing the customer base, not just replacing it.

Higher-Quality Engagement, Not Just More Members

The active member rate improved from 5.7% to 18.5%, representing a 3x lift in meaningful engagement. This shift reflects stronger participation and more consistent purchasing behavior from loyalty members.

Lifecycle Marketing That Converts Guests into Regulars

Approximately 4,000 members per month reached their third purchase, a critical milestone tied to long-term retention and customer lifetime value.

Targeted Campaigns That Drive High Redemption

A National Cheeseburger Day campaign achieved a 33% redemption rate among core loyalty members, demonstrating the power of segmentation and well-timed offers to drive traffic.

Digital Revenue You Can Actually Measure

Within six months, the brand generated $3.6M in digital revenue through Thanx, with revenue per location increasing 23% over time. This proved loyalty’s direct impact on the business.

Guest engagement for every segment.
