# Bonus Flat Booster

> Award a fixed number of bonus points on each qualifying action during a window. Cleaner to communicate than a multiplier.

<Note>
  **Where to find this:** Shopify admin → Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Loyalty → Booster Campaigns → New booster → **Bonus Flat**
</Note>

## Overview

Add a fixed bonus to each qualifying action during the window — e.g., **+50 points on every order this weekend**. The customer's base earning still applies; the flat amount sits on top.

## Why you need it?

Multipliers are powerful, but they ask the customer to do mental math. *“2X on a $40 order with my 1-point-per-$1 rate is… 80 points”* is a cognitive lift, especially in fast-moving email or SMS copy.

A flat bonus is a single number. *“+50 points on this order”* is concrete, requires no math, and fits the headline of an email subject line. When your communication needs to convert at a glance, flat usually beats multiplier.

## When to use it?

* Your campaign copy needs a headline number (“+100 points this week”).
* You want the bonus value to be the same regardless of basket size.
* Your base earning rate is small (e.g., 1 point per \$1) where multipliers feel underwhelming.
* You're running paid members an always-on baseline bonus on top of regular earning.
* You want a predictable points cost per redeemed action (easier to model the program economy).

## Use cases / Examples

### One-time uses

**1. Black Friday flat boost**

During BFCM, set **+200 points per order**. Customers know exactly what they're getting; no “you earn 2X your base rate” ambiguity. Pairs especially well with email subject lines: *“+200 points on every order this week.”*

**2. Email blast pairing**

Send an email blast announcing *“+100 points on your next order this week.”* The flat number translates directly from email subject to checkout receipt, which makes the email feel honest and increases open-to-buy.

**3. Launch-week bonus**

+75 points per order during the first week of a product launch. Layer with collection scope to focus the bonus on the new launch range.

**4. Birthday week bonus**

Combine targeting (customer tag: `birthday_week`) with a flat +50 bonus on any order during the customer's birthday week. Each customer feels personally rewarded.

### Recurring uses

**5. First-Tuesday loyalty bonus**

+25 points on every order on the first Tuesday of every month. Predictable enough that your best customers learn it and plan around it. Pairs well with a monthly newsletter cadence.

**6. Newsletter Wednesday**

+50 points on Wednesdays when you send your newsletter. The bonus is the email's reason to exist — open rate, click-through, and same-day order rate all go up together.

### Always-on uses

**7. Member-only baseline**

+10 points on every order for paid members. Stacks transparently on top of base earning and signals that membership is paying off every time they buy.

**8. Second-order bonus**

Always-on +50 points on a customer's second order. The 1stₒ2nd repeat is the most fragile transition in the customer lifecycle; a flat bonus right then is one of the highest-leverage interventions in the program.

## How to promote it

The big advantage of a flat bonus is that the headline writes itself. Use that.

### Storefront — start with Loyalty Nudges

The **[Loyalty Nudges](/onsite-widgets/loyalty-nudges)** widget puts your active bonuses in front of every visitor through a pinned strip and slide-up drawer on every page. Enable it once and the +100 (or whatever amount) shows up automatically for both members and visitors.

The Floating Launcher and Cart Redeem widget also surface active boosters. A homepage banner with the exact bonus and dates adds reinforcement.

### Email — lead with the bonus number

Pair the flat bonus with an email through your ESP. **Klaviyo** is the strongest pairing because Yuko pushes loyalty data into Klaviyo automatically (see [Klaviyo integration](/integrations/klaviyo)) — segment by tier, balance or activity without extra work.

* **Subject line:** the number *is* the subject. *“+100 points on every order this week”*. No mystery, no math.
* **Body:** repeat the bonus, the dates, and a single CTA. Short emails outperform long ones when the value is concrete.
* **Send to:** all opted-in customers; segment by tier if the bonus is tier-gated.

### WhatsApp — last-call urgency

If you've connected a WhatsApp provider, reserve WhatsApp for the last 24 hours: *“+100 points on every order ends tonight. Order here: \[link]”*. The flat number translates cleanly to WhatsApp's short message format.

### Reminder cadence

For a 7-day window: enable Loyalty Nudges + launch email D-0 → mid-window reminder D-3 → last-call WhatsApp + email D-6.

For **always-on member bonuses**, announce once in the membership welcome email and let Loyalty Nudges + the other widgets surface the bonus from there — no recurring promotion needed.
