In this article, we'll take a look at setting up VIP Tiers in Rivo Loyalty & Referrals. A well-structured VIP Tier system can greatly enhance customer engagement and loyalty. This article will walk you through the steps of naming your tiers, adding custom icons, defining goals, and allocating rewards and additional benefits. There are 3 pre-set VIP tiers—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—so we'll take a look at how to edit these first.

When you first open the VIP Program, you will see that there already 3 VIP tiers configured: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. You can edit these tiers by following the steps below.

Enter in the name of the tier. The pre-set names are Bronze, Silver, and Gold, but you can change these to anything you like. It's important to choose your Tier names wisely. It pays to do some initial fieldwork researching successful loyalty programs. Take a look at Starbucks (Starbucks Rewards), Sephora (Beauty Insider) and E.L.F. (Beauty Squad) for inspiration. Even though these are large established brands, taking note of how they've structured and designed their programs will be really helpful in building yours.

Specify the threshold that a customer must meet to unlock this tier. This can be based on the total points earned, amount spent, or the number of orders placed since the Program Start Date. Defining these goals gives your customers a clear target to strive towards, adding an element of gamification that can motivate increased engagement with your store.

Here, you can add unique rewards that customers unlock upon reaching a certain tier. Rivo's system allows you to add hidden rewards that will only be revealed once the tier is achieved.

Types of VIP Tier Rewards to Unlock include:

Consider your customers' preferences and interests when setting these rewards, as enticing rewards are more likely to motivate customers to achieve higher tiers.

Here you can offer extra perks to create an exceptional shopping experience for your most loyal customers. As a merchant, you have the freedom to define unique benefits that customers unlock upon reaching a certain tier. These could include early notifications about sales, first dibs on new products, or even an exclusive meet-and-greet with the team. Keep in mind that these additional benefits are not clickable links, but rather special perks to enhance the customer experience. They provide a personal touch and boost the perceived value of reaching a higher VIP tier, creating an environment that encourages customer loyalty and engagement.
