Apple Wallet & Google Wallet for home services businesses
30% typical repeat rate. $1500-5000 customer lifetime value. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes calibrated to the annual-cycle reality of home services businesses.
Why home services businesses need a annual-cycle-calibrated loyalty program
Most loyalty platforms were built for monthly-frequency retail. Home services businesses operate on a annual-cycle (180-730 days), which means a "30-day reactivation push" is either far too late (a coffee customer who hasn't visited in 30 days has switched shops) or catastrophically early (an HVAC customer's normal cycle IS 365 days). Wallefy calibrates everything to your real cycle: phase windows of 30/90/91+ days, at-risk reactivation at 300 days, payback target of 180 days. Typical home services business sees 30% repeat rate and $1500-5000 customer lifetime value — Wallefy is built to compound that.

Push notifications are free (no per-message SMS cost). The pass lives on the customer's lock screen permanently. And critically, every recommendation is calibrated to the annual-cycle nature of home services businesses — not generic monthly-frequency retail logic.
What's the right reactivation timing for a home services business?
For home services businesses, Wallefy fires reactivation at 300 days since last visit (not the generic 30-day default that most platforms use). The hibernating threshold is 540 days, and we suppress lost-customer sends after 1095 days to avoid wasting your messaging budget on customers who've moved on. These thresholds are derived from the median visit cycle of home services businesses (365 days between visits), not assumed.
