This manual contains instructions for all the Lyoness Solution Pack modules.
You can manage your company's data in the Loyalty Merchant Portal. In addition, you will find
detailed listings of your sales and have access to statistics that not only provide your own company
figures but also a comparison within your business sector. You can also create Shopping Point Deals
here. Shopping Point Deals are special offers which you can make available to one or more specific
target groups. You can create these special offers in your Loyalty Merchant Portal and they will help
you to attract new customers, strengthen bonds with loyal customers and encourage existing
customers to shop with you more often. This enables you to increase the number of active
shoppers in the mid to long-term.
In the CRM, you can manage your regular customers' data and have an accurate overview of sales
made by individual customers. You can create appointments/meetings and assign individual tasks.
The CRM also shows you who your top customers are and which customers you have lost. You also
have the option of creating and sending Customer Satisfaction Surveys.

1 DASHBOARD Once you have logged into your account with your login details, you access the Dashboard. The
Dashboard gives you a clear display of your master data and thus the most important information at
a glance. From now on, we will call the tiles in which the individual information is displayed
"Dashlets". A click on the respective blue button takes you directly to the relevant page.
Dashlet
2
You can remove items from your dashboard individually. If you want to remove the Service dashlet,
for example, just move in the upper right corner of the relevant dashlet until the "x" appears. If you
would like to restore this dashlet back to your Dashboard, click "Extend Dashboard" and select it by
clicking on the Service dashlet. It will then be shown on your Dashboard again. You have the same
option with all the dashlets on the Dashboard.
To return to the Dashboard from a sub-page, click on the blue Lyoness icon on the top left:
My Deals
Under this menu option you can see all of the Shopping Point Deals you have created. In addition,
you can immediately see how many of your Deals have already been redeemed and how many are
still available. For more details, or if you want to modify or add to these, click on "Edit".
3
My Sales
Here you can see the sales made by Lyoness Members in the current calendar year. In addition, the
Lyoness Benefits (Member Benefits) are also shown in the local currency. By clicking on "Sales
Details", you can see a detailed view of your sales figures.
My Statistics
By clicking on "Statistics Details", you will go directly to the statistical analysis page for your business
sector and your customers. The time period "within the last 90 days" is the dashlet default for the
display. The data in the dashlet thus always refers to the last 90 days and cannot be changed
manually.
4

Here you will find your company logo, your search criteria, short description, long description,
opening hours, company colours, invoice address and advertising banners which you can upload.
You can of course update any of this information (excluding the logo) at any time.

ensure that the image has a maximum size of 730 x 400 pixels. You can delete the banner at any
time and replace it with a new one.

This enables you to manage your documents in the Loyalty Merchant portal quickly and simply. You
can download your existing documents, delete them and upload additional documents.
9
Search Criteria
To ensure that your future customers can find you with the right keywords, enter them under Search
Criteria. It is advisable to choose terms for the offer and any related terms as well as terms to
describe your business. This will increase the likelihood of you being found on the Lyoness page
immediately.
Colours
Here you can choose the base colours for your newsletter and your Vouchers. Tip: If you have your
own company logo, it is best to choose the same colours as your logo. This will give a uniformed
appearance to your mailings and Vouchers that match your company colours.
Last Sales
By going to "CRM Details" you will be taken to your customers' last sales.
10
Lyoness B2B
With Lyoness, it is also possible for you to take advantage of the Lyoness Benefits even for your
business purchases made by your company. The B2B Search will start a Loyalty Merchant Search.
You can refine your search by using filters to specify your needs more accurately. This icon
adjusts to the business sector of the searched Loyalty Merchant making the search simpler for you.

2.1 New Customer Management
Here you can create Shopping Point Deals to gain new customers.
2.1.1 Shopping Point Deals
You can create Shopping Point Deals to gain new customers, strengthen bonds with loyal customers
and encourage existing customers to shop with you more often.
This enables you to increase the number of active shoppers in the mid to long-term. In exchange for
Shopping Points, customers receive certain goods or services at a reduced price, or even free of
charge, from the Loyalty Merchant. The Shopping Points are then deducted from the customer’s
account - as in a payment process.
As a Loyalty Merchant you can limit your target group according to the defined filter options.
Customers in the defined target group can see the Deal under "Redeem Shopping Points" and can
exchange these Shopping Points and redeem them according to the conditions defined in the
Shopping Point Deal.
You can also create Shopping Point Deals for Lyoness Members who have never shopped with you
via Lyoness, or for existing inactive customers to encourage them to shop with you again. You can
define the number of Deals and the time period.
The screen below shows where the Members can redeem their Shopping Points.
"CURRENT DEALS" gives you an overview of your existing Shopping Point Deals. Deals which have
already been created are listed with their specified name. You can create a new Shopping Point Deal
in all templates listed with "Deal".

The status of each Deal appears below the name. The following distinctions are made:
ACTIVE (green): The Deal is currently active. It has not yet been redeemed by the maximum number
of customers.
PAUSED (yellow): The Deal is currently paused, so it cannot be redeemed.
The Start and End date are displayed below.
Under "Available" you can see the number of remaining unredeemed Deals.
"Distributed" shows you how many Vouchers have already been distributed for this Deal.
"Redeemed" shows the number of times the Deal has already been redeemed.
The "% Redeemed " shows you the percentage of Deals that have been redeemed.
If you want to remove the Deal just click on "Delete". To change the details of the Deal, click "Edit".

2.1.1.5 Example of a Discount Deal -1
You are the owner of a butcher's shop and know that your customers do not spend much more than
€50.00 at your shop. You now enter in the minimum amount of €50.00 and the saving of 20%. Thus,
the customer saves €10.00 on a purchase of at least €50.00. For this the customer must redeem at
least 1 Shopping Point and a maximum of 2 Shopping Points. You can specify additional information
in the descriptive text to restrict your offer or make it more specific. Here are a few examples:
1. PRICE: In December, save 20% on all meat products up to a maximum purchase price of
€80.00.
2. BRAND: In December, save 20% on all "Wall‘s" meat products.
3. AMOUNT: 20% of all meat products in December, up to a maximum weight of 10kg.
2.1.1.6 Example of a Discount Deal -2
You sell washing machines and would like to create a Shopping Point Deal. The sales price for a
washing machine is normally between €550 and €1,200. You currently have an offer on Miele
products whereby washing machines that are normally €1,200 are reduced to €800. You would now
also like to set this up as a Shopping Point Deal for Lyoness customers. You therefore set the
minimum amount at €700 with a saving of 20%. This means the customer saves €140. The customer
must redeem between a minimum of 14 Shopping Points and a maximum of 28 Shopping Points for
this Deal. You can also add further limitations to your Deal, for example:
17
1. PRICE: 20% off all Miele washing machines in December, up to a maximum purchase price of
€800.
2. BRAND: 20% off Miele WKF 130 washing machines in December.
2.1.1.7 Example of a Fixed Price Deal
You have a restaurant. To promote off-peak days, you would like to set up a Fixed Price Deal. From
a consumption value of €30.00 your customers will receive a discount of €5.00. You can make a
more specific offer by selecting the validity for those days when you want to boost your sales.

newsletter. In addition, you can also see the sender’s name, the sender's email address, the status
of the newsletter and when it was sent.
Using the graphics, you can see exactly how many newsletters were sent and how many of them
were delivered to recipients.
Under "Opens", you can see how many of the emails sent to your customers were opened.
This parameter corresponds to the number of all openings divided by the total number of delivered
emails. Here, every customer is counted only once, even if he/she has opened the newsletter
several times.
The Click-Through Rate (CTR) is shown under "Clicks". In other words, here you can see how many
of the customers you sent the newsletter to opened it and clicked on a link contained in it (e.g. on
your website). This ratio refers to the number of clicks in an email divided by the total number of
delivered emails.
Under "Bounced", you can see how many newsletters could not be delivered. This can have several
reasons, for example, the email address could have been entered incorrectly.
In the graphic, under "Engagement", you can see the number of customers who unsubscribed as
well as the openings and clicks. Under "Deliverability" you can see the so-called "Soft Bounces" and
"Hard Bounces". You can also see the number of deliveries. Bounce is an error message from a
Mail Server which is generated automatically.
We make a distinction between Hard Bounces and Soft Bounces.
45
Hard Bounce: caused generally by a permanent error, for example if the recipient's email address
does not exist (anymore).
E.g.: [email protected] - this address will never arrive because the provider is not online.de but t-
online.de
Soft Bounce: caused generally by temporary problems.
E.g.: when the recipient's mailbox is full or the hard drive is full. This may only be a temporary
situation. The recipient of the mail can restore the status by carrying out certain actions (deleting
and thus freeing up memory). The mail could then be delivered.
On the right-hand side you can see to which email addresses the newsletter was sent.
46
You can also display those email addresses where the newsletter was opened, clicked, bounced or
the recipient cancelled the subscription.
In the Statistics, you can see the following representation in the click activity:
The name of the newsletter and the subject are given in the first row. In addition, you can also see
the sender’s name, the sender's email address, the status of the newsletter and when it was sent.
On the left-hand side, the newsletter is shown once more in a larger format. Next to it, you can see
how often a link was clicked on in the newsletter in the "Top Performing Links" overview.
