Build a base of guests who return, spend more and book direct. With SOPAGO Loyalty Program, you get a fully managed, CDP powered loyalty service designed for African hotels, resorts and lodges.
We design and run tiers, rewards and member communication for you. You see higher repeat stay rates, more ancillary spend and less dependence on online travel agencies, without adding headcount.







Your guests are willing to be loyal, but most loyalty programs never move beyond a card and a discount.
Across safari lodges, beach resorts and city hotels, repeat business is fragile because:
Many stays are one offs, and rate discounts become the only lever
Generic “stamp card” style perks come with no data and no timing
Teams do not have the bandwidth to design or manage a serious program
Many tools are built for large chains and do not fit local staffing realities
There is no unified data layer to personalise offers or measure revenue impact
| The result is a low repeat rate, missed upsell opportunities, pressure on margins and growing OTA share.
SOPAGO Loyalty Program is a managed loyalty service built on the SOPAGO CDP. We design, launch and operate your points, tiers and rewards, then drive engagement through email, messaging channels and, if you choose, the SOPAGO Guest Experience App.
Members see clear value from the first interaction. You see repeat revenue and a loyalty program that finally pays for itself.

Start with loyalty alone and connect Guest Experience, Newsletter Management or Digital Marketing later

Members book direct for the perks. OTA share is finally dropping

Pricing is transparent and depends on:
Billing is monthly and scales from single properties to larger groups.
You can connect loyalty with other SOPAGO services whenever you are ready:
The SOPAGO CDP is your shared data layer, tying loyalty engagement to bookings, spend and reviews across your portfolio.
SOPAGO operates the program as a managed service. We handle tiers, rewards, communication, reporting and optimisation. Your team focuses on recognising members and delivering the promised experience.
No. We can launch quickly without heavy IT work. Deeper connections to other SOPAGO modules and your existing systems can be added later to enrich data and automation.
Consent and preferences live in the SOPAGO CDP. We maintain audit logs across channels and properties and support you in aligning with local and international data regulations.
Yes. Monthly reports show repeat bookings, upsell attachment, direct booking clicks and OTA share for members. You see the financial impact clearly, not just member counts.
Only minimal training. Front office and outlet teams learn how to recognise members, check status and process simple redemptions. SOPAGO handles the technical and analytical work behind the scenes.
