Your Shopify store has a store, but do you have recurring visits, and are they spending more on follow-up visits? Discounts and promo emails are a staple in the marketing mix, but many brands leave well over $1,000 on the table as they fail to fully integrate and automate loyalty to a core loyalty program within the app. In the age of e-comm, a good Shopify store and a great one are distinguishable by how they fully capture customer lifetime value (LTV).
Loyalty dollars and repeat purchases are a primary source of income, so it’s no surprise industry insiders believe the most efficient loyalty programs are a specialized, personalized, app-based loyalty programs.

Email discounts and point systems are simply boring, especially when there are so many off the same variety. Without an engaging personalized loyalty experience, there is a high degree of risk of losing to competitors who offer interactive app-based rewards.
Push notifications, VIP tiers, exclusive content, and gamified rewards are all the rage and are the means deeper discounts and transactional ties.
Apps gather real-time data on things like purchase frequency, browsing habits, and rewards. What if a customer were offered their favorite item for free after their third visit? How about a special privilege on their birthday? This inline customer loyalty hyper personalization brings LTV and revenue skyrocketing.
After ABC Fashion added a loyalty app that tracked customer purchases and began gamification—rewarding customers for cumulative spending with badges and VIP status—repeat purchases increased by 40% and LTV increased by 25% after 6 months. \”Our app-based rewards make customers feel like insiders,\” says the marketing director.
With a loyalty app, XYZ sent personalized push notifications for special offers on items customers had viewed, as well as VIP invites, leading to a 35% increase in repeat sales. Customers increasingly engage with the loyalty app and consider it a central element of their shopping experience, increasing customer retention.
