Loyalty Program Design & Comms Builder
Design a complete customer loyalty program including tier structure, point mechanics, reward catalog, and a full communication sequence (launch email, milestone triggers, win-back flows) tailored to your average order value and customer lifecycle.
Pro tip
Provide your AOV, purchase frequency, customer lifetime value, and churn rate. The agentic approach lets the AI iterate on the tier economics until the unit economics are positive.

**Part 1 — Program Structure:**
- Program name (3 options, on-brand)
- Tier structure (3 tiers with clear earning thresholds)
- Point mechanics (earn rate, redemption rate, expiration policy)

- Unit economics validation: show that the program is margin-positive at each tier
**Part 2 — Communication Sequence:**
- Launch announcement email
- Welcome email (when customer enrolls)
- First milestone celebration (e.g., 100 points earned)
- Tier upgrade notification
- Points expiration reminder (30 days out)
- Win-back email (for lapsed members, 60+ days inactive)
- Monthly statement email
**Part 3 — Success Metrics:**
- KPIs to track (with target benchmarks)
- A/B test recommendations for the first 90 days
For each email, provide full copy with subject line, preview text, body, and CTA.
