What does Belly do?

Belly
Belly is a universal loyalty program that offers unique and exceptional rewards to local businesses through a universal loyalty card. Belly replaces traditional 'buy 10 get one free' punch cards with a unique loyalty platform for each businesses' personality and connects consumers on a much more personalized level to the places they already love. Consumers can either use a physical card, iPhone App or Android App to scan in on the provided in-store iPad to earn points at each store where Belly is accepted. These points can then be redeemed for unique and personalized rewards at each individual location.  
Why do you care?
In just 16 weeks since launch, Belly has over 40,000 users and 100,000 check-ins (more than Facebook, Foursquare and Gowalla combined at most of its 300 partner locations) to its name. The Company works with each individual business to make sure the rewards are one-of-a-kind and representative of the stores unique personality, creating a more engaged user base and improving customer retention.
