How do Retailers use ID Card Programs?

Retail Employee Photo IDsProper identification in any company setting is a key component of maintaining secure operations, particularly visual identification. ID cards can be worn by retail staff and managers at all times as well as by temp workers. Typically, ID cards are worn on badge reels or lanyards by retail staff, and should be highly visible to managers and customers.
Read MoreMultifunctional & Smart CardsMany retail shops and grocery stores are utilizing data storage technologies (e.g. barcodes & magnetic stripe cards) to monitor important data such as customer shopping habits and trends. The possibilities are endless when it comes to data storage. Data storage cards are often used to determine the type of coupons to issue out to customers; their coupons should match the type of products that they purchase.
Read MoreMembership CardsMany retailers offer membership cards to their customers. Members often have access to a wide range of perks such as less expensive prices on store items. Without a membership, most grocery and retail store items cost more, which is what makes memberships so appealing — the customer will immediately want to become a member as soon as he or she finds out that that it will save them money.
Read MoreLoyalty ProgramsLoyalty programs are a popular marketing tactic used by retailers — retail clothing stores and grocery shops, alike — as they aim to accrue points every time the customer purchases items such as clothes, accessories, or groceries. Once a certain number of points are attained, customers can receive a surfeit of rewards and discounts like free items, discounted food, buy-one-get-one-free promotions, and much more.
Read MoreAccess ControlSome retailers count on access control cards to limit entry to certain areas of the store to employees (or managers) only. This extra layer of security helps deter unauthorized individuals from attempting to gain access to sensitive areas such as safes and inventory warehouses. An access control card is a sure-fire way to prevent unauthorized persons such as intruders and customers from gaining entry to restricted areas and compromising security.
Read MorePromotional CardsID cards can be used as promotional cards, providing the customer with a certain discount or free item once they patronize the business. Promotional cards are an effective strategy for marketing and are often given out as a reward for loyalty program points. Retailers are excellent candidates for promotional cards, which can be produced from the same material that ID cards are made from – PVC plastic.
Read MoreKeytag CardsKeytag membership or loyalty cards are an easy and convenient way to ensure you have your card on you at all times when at your favorite store. Key tags can easily be affixed to one’s key chain to ensure that every time they shop at a certain store, they can take advantage of their membership or loyalty perks. Most customers prefer the size of key tags over the standard credit-card sized membership cards.
Read MoreTime and AttendanceFor time management of retail staff, AlphaCard’s team of experts recommends time and attendance ID cards. These kinds of cards keep track of when the person clocks in and clocks out for accurate weekly hour reports. Time and attendance often use magnetic stripes or barcodes that are scanned by a reader and integrated with tracking software.
