Alpine IQ: Flourish Profiles, Alpine IQ Signup & Redemptions

Summary

Flourish supports a robust in-app experience for Alpine IQ within the Flourish Retail POS, which drives efficient, seamless operations and provides a streamlined experience for staff and customers.

Customer Intake & Profiles

Each customer record will have Loyalty Status featured next to their name throughout the POS and web (coming Phase 4). The displayed Loyalty Status allows the user to identify if a customer is linked to a profile in Alpine IQ at a glance and to click through for further actions.

Note: A customer needs to be linked to Alpine IQ to accumulate points, so please train staff to ask at check-in and when checking the customer out.

Loyalty Statuses

  • View Loyalty: Displayed for Loyalty Members with a mapped Alpine IQ Customer ID.
  • Loyalty Signup: Displayed for customers that are not loyalty members or have yet to have their Alpine IQ Loyalty Persona linked to their Flourish Customer Profile.

View Loyalty

  • Selecting "View Loyalty" will open the Loyalty Status modal, presenting to the clerk: the Badges, Available Points, and Available Rewards of the Loyalty Member.
    • The Loyalty & Marketing Communications link will open the model of the same name, detailed below.

New Members
  1. Upon selecting Loyalty Signup, the Loyalty & Marketing Communications modal will open. It will be pre-populated with contact info from the Flourish Customer Record.
Setting the attributes required for customer enrollment may change the text on the top. See this example:

  1. Verify with the customer their preferred communication methods to update their Flourish Customer Profile. Only communication methods checked under Register will be submitted to Alpine IQ for use with their Loyalty program. We highly recommend updating all Customer Profile information during this time.
  2. Check the Box under Alpine IQ Register for the communication methods the customer wishes to use with Alpine IQ.
  3. Check the box to verify the customer understands they are opting into the Loyalty Rewards Program.
  4. Clicking on Save & Submit will Save any updated communication methods to their Flourish Customer Profile and Submit the checked communication methods to Alpine IQ.
    1. Notes on the top of the modal remind the clerk to tell the customer the signup process for different communication methods.
  1. Upon selecting Loyalty Signup, Flourish will search Alpine IQ for existing Personas with the following matching attributes:
    1. "Personal" email.
    2. "mobile" phone.
  2. When a match is found, it will present matching option(s) to the clerk to link this existing Alpine IQ Persona to this Flourish Customer Profile or create a new loyalty account for this customer.
    False matches can occur due to incorrect customer information, duplicate customer information, and multiple uses of the same contact information in multiple profiles. Give extra care when matching Alpine IQ Personas to existing Customer Profiles.
  3. Selecting a matching profile and clicking Submit will update the Flourish Customer Profile with any new information from Alpine IQ not already in the Flourish Customer Profile and pre-check the communication method already registered.
  4. Selecting None of the suggested matches is correct. Create a new loyalty account, and clicking Submit will bring up a Loyalty & Marketing Communications modal to update and Register this profile for loyalty as detailed above.
  5. Unchecking Register next to Customer Contact Information WILL NOT de-register that Customer Contact Information from Loyalty. If the customer wishes to no longer receive contact via a particular communication method, it must be done directly with Alpine IQ via the desired communication to de-register:
    1. Phone: Replying "stop" to any loyalty text message
    2. Email: Using the unsubscribe
    3. Customer Support: Contacting Alpine IQ Customer Support: support@alpineiq.com

The POS prints two versions of receipts when the customer buys or returns. The difference is at the bottom of the receipts, one for loyalty members and one for customers who still need to register for the loyalty program. The two versions at the bottom of the receipts contain the data below:
