Tiered Loyalty Programs

Recognize and reward your best customers by giving them more value - and more reasons to keep shopping with you.

What are tiered loyalty programs?

Tiered loyalty programs let you treat your top customers like VIPs while motivating everyone else to work their way up the value chain. We understand that value isn't always just about £/$ spend which is why we enable tier qualification based on any attribute - spend, points, visits, and more.

Tiering is a tried and tested way to deepen engagement, boost retention, and unlock long-term value from your customer base.

Tiered loyalty with Eagle Eye

How tiered loyalty works

It really is as easy as:

Tiers

Choose your tiers.

Bronze, Silver, Gold? Basic & Pro? Something fun and on-brand? You decide. We're flexible.

Path

Define the path.

We support paid or earn-based tier models where customers can move through tiers based on spend, points, visit frequency - or a combination of these and more. You set the rules which enable you to reward the customer behavior you seek. Don’t want customers to know? No problem, both overt and covert tiering is possible if you’re trying to promote mystery and exclusivity..

Reward

Set the rewards.

Higher earn rates, birthday gifts, free delivery, exclusive promotions, extended points expiry - whatever makes sense for your customer base.

Track and optimize

Track & optimize.

Monitor performance in real-time and tweak things whenever you need to.
