Proactiv Cards
100% UPVC Plastic Cards
Is your business leaving the right impression?
Most cards are printed on inappropriate material for longevity & lack originality. Cardboard cards tend to get put into pockets and handbags where they crease, get dog-eared and easily rip, usually ending up in the bin within a short period. They may typically be cheaper, but if 80% are being discarded at the end of the day, is that an investment-saver or just a missed opportunity?
‘We all want to give out a card people will keep.’
Our range of 100% Plastic Cards last for years and continue to look fantastic, creating a great impression every time they are seen. We can print any shade, including full-colour photo quality. Plastic cards appear as real credit cards, giving them a perceived high value. With this in mind, people tend to put them in a safe place along with their credit/debit cards, i.e. in purse or wallet. Being extremely durable, they are more likely to be kept for several years.
Market research consistently demonstrates that retaining existing customers is easier and cheaper than establishing new ones. Integral to keeping customers is providing incentives that will inspire their loyalty. ProActiv can supply your business with 100% plastic loyalty cards/fobs and advise you on which loyalty program to implement while enabling you to attain your business goals.
Many businesses are now using ‘Loyalty Schemes’ to encourage customers to spend in their shops or on their services. Cardboard loyalty cards can be found everywhere but research has shown that because of the quality of these cards, they are often lost, damaged or simply ignored. If cardboard cards survive their full use, then they are thrown away and a new one is given out.
By using 100% UPVC loyalty cards/fobs, designed with your company branding, you are giving your customer a card/fob they will keep, use and keep using. Our cards/fobs can be rendered with a special coating that allows you to stamp the cards and when full, you simply wipe clean with our cleaning solution and start again - saving you money on reordering. If you have the internet, then we offer a web-based loyalty software where you simply scan a barcode.
Loyalty programs allow businesses to reward customers with immediate discounts or points that can be applied to future purchases. Discounts can be used to help benefit the business as well as saving the customer money. Businesses can identify who their customers are, when and what they buy, and how much they spend. This information can then be used to reward your most loyal clients & incentivise those that haven’t done business with you in a while. The software also gives you more flexibility with regards to changing your offers and promotions whenever you feel a change is required. Every business has a slow period or products that perform gradually. These problems can be overcome by offering extra discounts or points on purchases made during off-peak days/weeks.
Encourage customers to spend more by offering additional benefits for purchases that exceed certain amounts. Create special promotions such as members’ only offers. The list of applications is endless. With today’s refined payment technology, gift and loyalty card schemes can be as flexible and creative as the entrepreneurs who use them.

If your business offers its customers scheduled appointments, then those appointments are valuable. Your time is booked and should that customer not attend, it is wasted.
Missed appointments can cost your business a lot of time and money and are one of the biggest concerns for many small companies throughout the UK. Missed appointments are primarily due to people forgetting or losing their appointment cards. By giving your customers an appointment card they will keep, you can greatly reduce your wasted time. They will also have your company details with them at all times, ensuring your name is carried far and wide.
ProActiv appointment cards are made from high quality 100% UPVC which contains a special coating that enables you to write on an appointment time and date. Then simply wipe with our cleaning solvent and use it repeatedly. So instead of ordering cards two or three times a year, you can order every several years.

Advertising for independent businesses is more often than not a waste of time and money. Rarely does a company recoup what they have spent. All business owners will agree upon ‘Word of Mouth’ as the best way of attracting new customers. Particularly with it being absolutely FREE.
Research has shown typically less than 10% of people act on a positive recommendation; simply because they either forget the conversation or they don’t have the contact details to hand when requiring the recommended product or service.
Businesses that have introduced plastic cards to their company have found that owing to the cards given out being kept, their contact details are being passed on more frequently. Some business owners who have grasped the ‘numbers concept’ have taken this a step further, giving each happy customer 3 or 4 cards for them to pass on when spreading the word.
The combination of a positive recommendation + being handed a professional plastic card (great 1st impressions) + having the contact details & adding an incentive, dramatically increase the number of people acting on ‘Word Of Mouth’.
As much as an 800% upsurge.
If you are using the software, each card will be numbered. When a new customer brings in a card/fob, the system will notify you of the customer that made a recommendation and you can then reward them accordingly, rather than giving money to advertising companies.

Our 100% plastic cards can be further enhanced with a number of options such as:
Embossed Lettering
You can give your card an even more authentic ‘credit card feel’ by using embossed lettering. This brings your text to life and is a popular option on cards such as membership cards.
Scratch Panels
Scratch panels allow your customers to remove panels on the card to reveal a code, offer, symbol or anything you may wish to be concealed until the right moment.
QR Codes
QR codes are becoming more popular by the day. Using their smartphone, your customers can scan the QR code on your card and be taken directly to your website, Facebook page or even your own smartphone app. QR codes don’t work well on paper because all they need is a bit of wear and tear and they won’t work. On plastic, your online presence can be marketed by your customers for free for many years.
Barcodes
Barcodes are now commonplace in many aspects of everyday life and we can add them to your cards. They can then be used to identify each customer on your current POS system or link with Proactiv Privileges Software.
We also manufacture high quality keyfobs which are a third of the size of a credit card and made from 100% Plastic.
Our keyfobs are lightweight and add a perfect finishing touch to your customer’s experience with you.
