"I'll have a mixed berry smoothie, no banana, extra ice. Also a mango smoothie with just a touch of blueberry." He flashed a payment card at me, and I swiped it swiftly- ignorant of what was about to happen.
The monitor hummed a silent undertone... the grill sizzled and crackled in the background... voices floated in musically through the door...
Then SUDDENLY pastel confetti flew through the air! Fireworks blasted through the white-lit ceiling showering us with heat and color! Everyone sitting outside suddenly exploded through the door cheering and yelling "HUZZAH HUZZAH!" The world seemed to be celebrating in our shop- but why???!!!
My heart was pounding with excitement and fright as I tore his receipt off the feeder. My hand trembled awkwardly as I straightened out the piece of paper to review it... then suddenly it all made sense. This customer wasn't just any customer.
He was Peter the Magnificent! High-Roller! He had just barely gotten 250 points on his Nature's Express card!! Which meant that he was suddenly entitled to receive a $25 gift card from us.
So okay it didn't quite happen like that- but it SHOULD everytime. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Nature's Express card it is really simple. Any time you come into Nature's Express and make a purchase we swipe the card and you collect points. When you get to 250 points you get a $25 gift card. FREE! SMILE INCLUDED! (Maybe even a high-five...)
So if you are a Frequent Flyer of Nature's Express... and you want to upgrade to being a High-Roller like Peter the Magnificent, be sure to ask for a card next time you come in.
By the way, we asked Peter the Magnificent:
If you were a Nature's Express food item which would you be?
Signature Salad with a Hummus Wrap and a Maple Coconut bar of course!
What about YOU? What would YOU be??
