by Love, Bonito

An exclusivity and community-driven reward


experience from Singapore

Love, Bonito is the largest vertically integrated, omnichannel women’s


fashion brand in Asia today. The company currently comprises 150 people
across the region, with headquarters in Singapore, teams in Indonesia and
Malaysia, and a franchise in Cambodia.

Bringing the brand closer to its customers, Love, Bonito boldly launched its
first loyalty program LBCommunity+, powered by Antavo. LBCommunity+
is designed to bring the engagement between customers and the brand
to a new level and the program will see over 5,000 sign-ups monthly and
drive acquisition on and offline.

Vanessa Yeo Barger


VP Brand at Love, Bonito
“ Our loyalty program, LBCommunity+ serves as a love letter to our
customers, who we affectionately refer to as our #LBCommunity. Listening
and responding to our customer’s needs to become part of our community
and enjoy engaging content and perks is what Love, Bonito believes in and
we are thrilled with the ability to adapt the LBCommunity+ Loyalty program
to the changing and growing expectations of our customers.”
Challenges
Building an engaging omnichannel loyalty

Love, Bonito is characterized by a strong
sense of community. The company’s main
target audience is the modern Asian
woman, who values special treatment just
as much as a good deal.

Furthermore, the brand has a significant


offline presence. Their stores are known for
featuring augmented reality technology and
modular fitting rooms.

The fashion brand had three main areas of


focus for their loyalty program:

- Increase overall customer spend


Love, Bonito was looking for a loyalty solution capable of having an impact on
customer lifetime value in multiple ways. The reward system needed to increase
purchase frequency, average order value and customer retention. However, the
company also set out to boost customer satisfaction and their Net Promoter Score.

- Understand the customer’s omnichannel journey


Because the brand focuses on both online and offline retail, they wanted an
omnichannel loyalty solution that would create a unified customer view, giving
them concise insight into online and in-store activities. Furthermore, the loyalty
program needed to be able to incentivize engagement across all channels.

- Create a vehicle to test and push specific initiatives


Recognizing the power of the community, Love, Bonito is testing new incentives that
strengthen brand love. This means that the reward system has to be modular to
allow the addition of new features. Furthermore, the program requires omnichannel
capabilities to reach online, in-store, and mobile-loving audiences.

1 Clear and engaging ways to earn points

In order to reach its quantitative goals, Love, Bonito opted for a hybrid loyalty
program. It merges earn & burn elements, which increase purchase frequency
and average order value, with a tiered system, which promotes high customer
retention rates and member satisfaction.

LBCommunity+ was first launched in Singapore, but following the regional


success, the system was introduced to an international audience. The initial
program elements for Singapore included:

1 point for every S$1 spent online or in stores


50 points for registering and completing the customer profile
300 points for referring a friend
New members receive a S$5 gift card to use toward their first order
A member’s second order automatically adds 300 bonus points
Points can be redeemed for discounts at Love, Bonito or at partners

Timi Garai - Loyalty Strategist at Antavo

“ Rewarding both transactional and non-transactional interactions means


that members have more reasons to be invested in the loyalty program from
the very start. In the long run, this translates to a higher overall spend per
customer.”

2 Surprise benefits & early access

Another key aspect of LBCommunity+ is its tier system. There are three tiers,
each based on annual spend. To make the concept stand out and deepen
engagement, Love, Bonito has incorporated exclusivity and early access into
the tiers.

Progressing to a higher tier not only increases the value of existing rewards, but
also gives members access to exclusive services, all of which make the loyalty
experience far more memorable than discounts.

3 Book a Stylist

One of the most alluring perks of being a LBCommunity+ Gold member is the option to
book a complimentary private session with one of the brand’s Style Ambassadors, who
give customers thoughtful and confidence-boosting fashion advice. This also makes for
an unforgettable time in the store.

Regular and Silver members can still enjoy the Book-A-Stylist sessions at a fully
redeemable deposit of S$30.

By making the “Book a Stylist” feature a members-only benefit,


Love, Bonito is able to drive multiple important business KPIs:

Offer a truly
personalized service

Draw online shoppers


into the stores

Create an omnichannel
experience

Boost virality on social


media

Foster brand love


among the community

The ‘Book a Stylist’ incentive is


only available in Love, Bonito
stores in Singapore.

Giulia Filoso - Loyalty Strategist at Antavo


“ In addition to enjoying the service for free, Gold members can also bring
a friend. Turning the service into a social experience not only increases
the fun factor, but also helps to spread positive word of mouth, and even
encourages members to book another session for themselves.”
4 Mobile Wallet

LBCommunity+ utilizes Antavo’s Mobile Wallet system on smartphones.


After joining the program, members receive an email which includes the
option to download a digital loyalty card to their phone.

The process is streamlined: no additional actions are required, and


customers are logged in when they click the download button.

Digital loyalty cards are designed to


help customers identify themselves
while in store.

Staff members can scan the pass at the POS,


which is easier and more convenient than
traditional plastic loyalty cards, as customers
always have their phones on hand.

The loyalty cards are updated when the


user reaches a new membership level, so the
image on iOS and the level label on Android
always showcases up-to-date information.
This ensures that customers never miss out
on a reward or benefit while shopping.

Highlighted Use Case
In order to support its omnichannel strategy and exercise
more control over reward redemption, Love, Bonito uses
Antavo’s Magento-generated gift cards.

The process is the following:

Each time a loyalty program member claims a reward,


Antavo sends a gift card request to Magento, Love, Bonito’s
eCommerce platform

The request includes the customer’s ID, the reward


amount and the expiration date

Magento internally generates the gift card, attaching a code


to it that’s linked exclusively to the individual who claimed it

Magento sends the gift card back to Antavo

Antavo notifies Love, Bonito’s email automation provider,


Emarsys, about the process, instructing the platform to
send out the gift card

The customer receives an email, featuring the gift card


and the code. Customers can redeem it online by copying
and pasting a code, while in-store shoppers present the
barcode to the cashier.

This integration between Antavo,


Magento and Emarsys provides a
better overview of which reward
belongs to which customer.

Furthermore, the system prevents


unauthorized use of gift cards, as
only the rightful owner who claimed
the reward is eligible to redeem it.
