The challenge

Classic — a premium barber shop in central Lodz. Three barbers, private chairs, prices $20–30. Regulars come every 4–6 weeks, but Marek (the owner) knew some "forget" and only return after 8–10 weeks. The calendar had gaps mid-week.

Rollout

A stamp card: 8 visits, the 9th free (worth ~$25). Key push: "Time for a cut" — sent automatically 28 days after the last visit with a booking link.

The surprise

Customers don't respond to "you have X stamps". They respond to "it's been 4 weeks since your cut — your office mates have noticed".

"Self-aware peer pressure works best. Pushes that are funny but pointed. The customer laughs, taps, and books." — Marek
