(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBain & Company's research on rewards programs documents a pattern: brands that optimize rewards for customer lifetime value (not transaction frequency) see higher retention and margin per customer, displacing the volume-first loyalty model.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): audit your current rewards program. If it's structured as 'earn points per dollar,' shift it to 'earn double points on bundle purchases' and 'earn points for referrals and reviews.' The shift costs nothing to implement but changes who your loyalty loop attracts. A customer who buys your full kit once a month (higher LTV) is more valuable than a customer who buys one SKU every week to accumulate points. Run a four-week test: segment your email list into two groups. Group A gets the old 'earn 1 point per dollar' message. Group B gets 'earn 10 points for buying the bundle, or earn 50 points for a verified review.' Measure LTV per segment. The group rewarded for bundling and review will skew higher LTV.\nWhat that means for you: Loyalty programs have become a tax on good customers. The ones chasing pure frequency reward deal-hunters, not advocates. The Bain insight is that the brands winning are the ones that say 'we'd rather have one $500-LTV customer than five $100-LTV customers.' If your rewards program is built to maximize transactions, you're attracting the wrong customer. Rebuild it around bundle size and review participation this quarter.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Bain & Company: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMijgFBVV95cUxQWjdoNFhkNEg0QnNVeEdIQTQ2YUt0NDZYQlBnT0dtcG9kc3Z6VFpPbE5kcHBZZGxPZ3MybTlTblE2Y2ItRUxLR25pTFJuUVJvRn.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
