The Challenge
Sunshine Car Wash operates in a crowded US car wash market where price and convenience often drive customer choice. They wanted to stand out by creating a more engaging digital experience, encouraging repeat visits, and building recurring revenue with subscription plans.
The Solution
With Liquid Barcodes, Sunshine launched a branded loyalty app packed with features to grab customer attention and keep it.
- Gamification: Spin-the-wheel and scratch card promotions brought fun into the customer journey, rewarding both frequent and casual visitors.
- Subscriptions: Seamless in-app signup for unlimited wash plans gave customers convenience — and Sunshine recurring revenue.
- Automation & Personalization: Always-on campaigns ensured customers received tailored offers, win-back messages, and rewards that matched their behavior.
"Liquid Barcodes understood our challenge from day one. They helped us shape a clear subscription strategy and brought creative solutions to the table that set us up for success right from the start.
