Loyalty Program That Brings Customers Back
Blinko helps nail salons turn one-time clients into regulars with automatic loyalty tracking, digital stamp cards, and smart re-engagement — no app download needed.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges nail salons face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Clients book once and disappear
Without a loyalty program, clients drift to whoever has the first available appointment. You need a reason for them to choose you.
Slow days hurt your chair time
Mondays and mid-week afternoons sit empty while weekends book solid. You need a way to drive bookings when you need them.
You can't reach inactive clients
A client who loved their last manicure hasn't been back in 6 weeks. Without their phone number, you have no way to re-engage them.
Paper punch cards get lost
Physical loyalty cards get tossed in purses and never seen again. Digital ones that don't require an app actually work.

Questions, answered.
The things nail salons ask before they sign up.

expand_more
No. Blinko is the only loyalty platform where customers follow a business with a single QR scan — no app install, no signup, no email required.
How much does Blinko cost?
expand_more
Blinko has a free plan that stays free forever. Paid plans start at $19/month (Indie) with a 30-day free trial — no credit card required.
How long does setup take?
expand_more
Most businesses go live in under 10 minutes — print your QR sticker, configure your first stamp card or welcome offer, and you are running.
Will I lose my customers if I switch from Square or Toast?
expand_more
No. Blinko sits alongside your existing POS — you keep your payment flow and just add the loyalty layer on top.
What kind of businesses use Blinko?
expand_more
Cafes, restaurants, nail salons, barbershops, retail shops, gyms, churches, yoga instructors, food trucks, and any business with repeat customers — including solo professionals without a fixed location.
Can I run a refer-a-friend campaign in Blinko?
expand_more
Yes. Blinko’s referral campaigns let your existing followers invite friends with a personalized QR coupon — both the referrer and the new customer earn a reward when the friend makes their first purchase.
Does my customer have to download an app to refer their friend?
expand_more
No. Followers share the referral coupon directly via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The friend who receives it sees the offer instantly in the link preview, and only installs Blinko if they want to claim the reward.
Marketing CopilotWorking in the background, so you don't have to.
While you're serving customers, Blinko is watching your visit patterns and quietly doing the marketing work — so your regulars keep coming back without you lifting a finger.
Spots who's drifting away
Blinko automatically identifies customers who haven't visited in a while — before they forget you exist.
Sends the right nudge at the right time
A perfectly timed offer goes out automatically. No scheduling, no copywriting, no thinking required.
Gets smarter with every visit
Every check-in teaches Blinko more about your customers. Over time it fine-tunes who to reach and when — so results keep improving on their own.
Set it up once. Blinko runs it from there.
