Dashboard: an overview of the loyalty program
This feature is currently for paid plans only.
Overview:
Here, you can see how LoyaltyLion is increasing your revenue, customer lifetime value, average purchase frequency and average order value.
Our Loyalty Dashboard is designed to give you a clearer picture of your loyalty program performance, opportunities, and changes in customer buying behaviors.
Redeemer:
A member of your program who has accrued and redeemed points to claim a reward, but has not necessarily used that reward in an order.
Non-redeemer:
A member of your program who has accrued points but has not redeemed those points to claim a reward.
Non-member:
Someone who has not joined your loyalty program.
We go into more detail on each of the graphs and how we attribute revenue to the loyalty program in our guide here: Loyalty Dashboard
Got it all? Let's move on! š¦
Analytics
This tab is divided into a few sections:
Orders
Here you can track all the orders your store has placed as well as revenue, average basket size, and points provided. You can use this data for your future strategies and marketing campaigns.
Orders placed on the dashboard is the sum of orders over the selected timeframe, excluding cancelled and refunded orders.
Revenue on the dashboard is the total paid (including shipping and tax) of orders over the selected timeframe, excluding cancelled and refunded orders. We also include returned orders, and if you are using a third-party app for returns, this could potentially cause a discrepancy between the numbers you see on this dashboard and your ecommerce platform.
Success Tip: Ā
Step 1: Look at your Average Basket Size
Ā Ā Ā Ā (e.g. $50)
Step 2: Calculate how many points a customer will get after making this purchase
Ā Ā Ā Ā (e.g. Ā $50 x 5points = 250 points if make a purchase rule $1 = 5 points)
Step 3: Set up account creation points to give away enough points to get a customer at least 50% of the way to their first reward
Ā Ā Ā Ā (e.g. 250 points if first reward is $5 off = 500 points)
Step 4: Account creation points + first purchase points = reward
Ā Ā Ā Ā (e.g. 250 points + 250 points = 500 points = $5 off)
Referrals: engage and acquire
Referrals are a successful way to gain new customers while keeping your existing customers engaged.
Here is what the tab looks like:
Track:
Visits from referrals: number of new visits to your store through LoyaltyLion referrals
New customers: number of new customersĀ
Revenue from referrals: revenue that these customers brought to your store
New visits: how many people clicked on the referral link
New customers: customers that were successfully referred and made a purchase
Extra revenue: how much revenue referred friends brought Ā
Where are the referrals from? Facebook | Twitter | Direct | Email Indicates the most successful platform for referring - thatās where your next marketing campaign should be!
In the top right corner of the Referral Tab, you can request an export file of all successful referrals. This includes:
Referrer's email address and ID
Referee's email address
Order number
Voucher code used
Success Tip: Reach out to customers who refer a lot of friends - say a little thank you for being great brand advocates! Give them points manually - show them your loyalty!Ā š
Insights
This section will provide you with key data on your most loyal customers, those customers you are at risk of losing, and those you need to win back.Ā
You can find your insights section by navigating to Dashboard > Insights.
The insights are calculated based on your store's metrics like AOV and repeat-purchase rates.
Data is shown for customers who have placed an order over the past twelve months, or since program launch if your program has been live for <12 months, so the numbers will be less than your total number of customers in your store.
Members: enrolled members of your loyalty program
Non-members: guest customers who are not enrolled in the program as they havenāt created an account
Non-redeeming members: members who have never claimed a reward with their points
Redeeming members: members who have claimed a reward with their points at least once
You can find the Loyal, At Risk, and Win Back segments to the right of the Insights section:
Loyal: those that purchase a lot and often, and are in the top 40% of customers who do so.
At-risk: these customers don't follow the usual spending trends of your store (eg. If your customers usually purchase once every two months, a customer not purchasing anything for five months is a cause for concern).
Win Back: considered lost customers (eg. If your customers usually purchase once every two months, a customer who hasn't purchased in eleven months would be considered lost).
Success Tip: Export data under each section to create targeted campaigns - send a gift to your most loyal customers, give an extra discount to customers at risk, and a reminder about your existence to customers you want to win back!
Please note that your loyalty program will need to be running for a couple of months before you see any data here to give us time to collate accurate data.Ā
