Tiers

This article explaines the main purpose of Tiers feature.

What Are Tiers?

  • Definition: Named levels that categorize customers according to their engagement or spending history. Tiers allow you to create membership levels (e.g., bronze, silver, gold) that structure customer rewards and status.
  • Purpose: To reward loyal customers with increasing benefits as they advance through tiers. Each tier can have its own requirements and benefits, fostering loyalty and encouraging progress within your loyalty program.

Key Features

  1. Flexible Tier Setup

    • Create any number of tiers (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) to match your branding and structure.
  2. Custom Advancement Rules

    • Define criteria such as total points, spending, or number of visits—customers automatically enter tiers when they meet these conditions.
  3. Tier-Based Rewards

    • Assign exclusive rewards (coupons, discounts, benefits) to each tier.
    • Tier members gain access to higher-value perks and recognition.
  4. Tier Progression Monitoring

    • Track customer status: current tier, progress to next tier, and historical movement.

Example Use Case

Scenario: Restaurant Loyalty Program with Tiered Benefits

A restaurant chain introduces a tiered loyalty program based on total customer spending:

  • Bronze: All new members are placed in Bronze and receive a free dessert with their first order.
  • Silver: Customers who spend more than 150 EUR in total unlock a free appetizer with every visit.
  • Gold: Customers who exceed 400 EUR in total spending receive 10% off every bill and a complimentary drink.

How it works:

  • A guest makes several visits and reaches a total of 150+ EUR in spending.
  • The system automatically upgrades the guest to Silver.
  • A special reward is issued, and they begin receiving Silver-tier perks.
  • Upon crossing 400 EUR, the system promotes them to Gold, unlocking premium benefits.
