Kangaroo awards your dental practice patients badges: "Smile Champion" for 3 visits, "Dental Hero" for 5 referrals, "Gold Member" for $2,000 in treatments. Patients visiting for root canals do not want badges. They want competent, trustworthy care. Gamification trivializes healthcare relationships. Professional retention requires professional tools — recall campaigns, personalized follow-ups, and responsive communication.
TL;DR
Kangaroo gamifies loyalty. Healthcare is not a game. The Webevo platform provides professional CRM retention within a growth engine — serious tools for serious businesses.

Loyalty Programs Without Acquisition Retain a Shrinking Base: Loyalty platforms reward repeat customers — valuable for retention. But service businesses lose 20-30% of active customers annually through natural attrition (moves, competitor switches, life changes). Without acquisition marketing generating new loyalty members, the program manages organized decline. The Webevo platform acquires new customers AND retains existing ones.
When Kangaroo Makes Sense
Kangaroo fits quick-serve restaurants, retail shops, and entertainment businesses where gamified experiences and tiered rewards drive frequent repeat visits. If fun drives your business model, gamified loyalty works.
For MedSpas, dental practices, and law firms — the Webevo platform provides professional retention.
