Allows us to have a rewards program, email and text platform all in one and simply syncs with our Lightspeed POS. Being able to do all in one is the reason we chose them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

The email template builder has some kinks that should be worked out to make the formatting and look better. Also, they are currently moving to a new version and you lose some abilities in the new one that you had in the old version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Kangaroo Rewards?

Kangaroo rewards will help us maintain a strong connection with our customers through consistent communication, loyalty rewards and analytics. We just kicked off the rewards program my customers are already excited. We selected Kangaroo because it integrates with Lightspeed(Pos) and Shopify. Our previous systems were separate for in-store and online. With Kangaroo, we can ensure the customers have one system to capture everything. Kangaroo offers a robust approach to cater to alot of the needs of my store and my customers, making it a WIN-WIN for everyone.

Also the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM MARIO! He was so patient and gave excellent advice on all questions. I would sign up again to work with him! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

I don't have any downsides/dislikes at the moment. If I would suggest anything would be the capability to design our widget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Created one system for my online store and my brick & mortar so my customers can shop online and in-store and earn rewards. More robust system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kangaroo Rewards?

There's a lot you can do with it for sure, and I like that it integrates with our POS. I like that you can schedule emails and have campaigns that repeat automatically that was super useful for us and asking for reviews automatically from every customer. The rewards system was very easy to set up and use. Lots of ways to use it to and options. With Lightspeed integrated it was super easy to redeem the customers points as well or special offers. It runs smoothly I never had any technical difficulties with the points side of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

Overall felt like it overpromised and under-delivered. I wasn't there when we originally signed up for a lengthy contract, (which we are now looking to get out of). The integration with our POS though good, wasn't as seamless as we thought and required a lot of work to add segments of customers so it wasn't quite as easy to send targeted campaigns. There are a lot of features we don't utilize, but I wish Kangaroo had spent more time developing less features but making them the BEST on the market. The email campaigns are clunky to set up and often, once sent would look different then when I was making them. No complaints about the rewards program it's easy to use and set up and to redeem awards for customers.

My biggest issue was that I was paying for extra email credits to be added automatically every month (which weren't expensive) but every time I looked at the beginning of the month, they weren't there. I had a hard time explaining that to my account manager and couldn't get a hold of them by phone so gave up pretty much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kangaroo Rewards:

Think about what your business actually needs. If it's a rewards and referral program Kangaroo could be great for that. Take some time to do research. There's a lot in Kangaroo but I found it overwhelming so if you only need it for one specific area of marketing, you could probably find an easier/less expensive option. If you want to do a lot and have someone dedicated to learning everything about Kangaroo and implementing it, it could definitely be worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to connect with customers and update them. Every time we send an email campaign our website sees a boost in traffic which is great. I believe recurring visits from customers have increased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shawn Drakes of Kangaroo Rewards

Hello Mindy,

Thank you for taking the time to review Kangaroo Rewards. We're happy that the rewards program is working very well and that you find it easy to set up and use. We are disappointed to learn that email marketing and credits have been an issue. Our customer success team can always be contacted via chat, email, and/or by phone (1.844.445.6925) from 8 am - 8 pm EST daily.

In regards to email marketing, we are working to improve the user experience in addition to releasing a new merchant dashboard in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we built several email marketing integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and Constant Contact, whereby you can export your customer segments and have the lists auto-update based on customer triggers within the Kangaroo Rewards program. As for the email credits, there is an option to pay-per-usage, so as to only use credits as you need them.

We do appreciate your feedback as we are constantly working to improve our product and deliver the best possible customer experience. In addition, a member of our team will be in contact shortly to address your pain points to service your business better. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Best, Valerie

What do you like best about Kangaroo Rewards?

They have such a responsive support team. Whenever I have questions, they're so quick to help. The user interface is relatively easy to use and understand. Sending marketing e-mails is easy with their platform, and keeping track of points is simple. I asked them to add a feature to the points backend, and they were so quick to add it! Throughout the pandemic, they were so quick to help, and I always know that when I need any help, they'll be there to assist. Very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

I wish there were more customizations regarding automated campaigns, but overall the customizations are pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kangaroo Rewards?

I like that Kangaroo integrates with my POS system, Lightspeed and doesn't require customers to download the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

The administration panel is very cumbersome, the editor is complicated to use and format, and it has a lot of bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kangaroo Rewards:

Take the time to look at the back-end administration panel as well as the content editor if you expect to use the system to send out any messages to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are enticing people to give us their email addresses so that we can more easily market to them and drive more sales. I do like that you can structure a point system of rewards to best suit your business. Some customers are motivated to make more purchases if it means that they will receive bigger rewards in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shawn Drakes of Kangaroo Rewards

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for taking the time to review Kangaroo Rewards. We're pleased that the integration between Kangaroo and Lightspeed is seamless and adds value to your business dynamic. As the Kangaroo platform and feature set is quite large, we understand that it can seem complicated at first. To meet this issue, we have a 1-on-1, onboarding session to help familiarize our customers with campaign creations and rules set-up. As our system continues to evolve, we are constantly updating features and functionality to provide the best possible user experience. We have built email marketing integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and Constant Contact for more marketing capabilities. A member of our success team will be in touch shortly to better understand your pain points and possibly provide a system refresher to help you maximize your rewards program. Thank you for choosing Kangaroo Rewards to power your loyalty rewards program.

Best,

Valerie

What do you like best about Kangaroo Rewards?

Kangaroo rewards has made it easy to get customers to sign up as we can add them straight from the POS. This has streamlined the process for us and allowed the customers easier tracking of their points. We can now communicate with the customer easier via automatic emails and text messages. Being able to sync into our POS makes redemption easier to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kangaroo Rewards?

One of the biggest downsides to the software is the need for the customer to accept receiving emails and text. A lot of them don't this, simply because they don't want to have another account they need to create and would like us to manage the account, which means we need to manually turn on these notifications for each user. This is not necessarily a problem with the software, but it is a big downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kangaroo Rewards:

Please remember there is a lot of time involved with getting this set up. So put time aside for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking re4wards points for customer was a nightmare and membership cards didn't cut it fairly for all customers. Being able to use a point system for every dollar spent allows the customer a better return for their buck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shawn Drakes of Kangaroo Rewards

Unused text messages should not expire... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a stand alone useage or integrated with Lightspeed - Kangaroo Rewards is a great option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kangaroo Rewards solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps create a program that encourages clients to be loyal to the store, as the products we sell are available at other retailers - but if they continue to shop local they can earn rewards that save them money! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
