Where a Way to Earn is *always on* and quietly rewards every qualifying action, a booster is a *campaign* — time-windowed, targeted, and designed to move a specific metric over a specific period. Where a discount cuts price, a booster increases the points reward. The customer pays the same; they earn more. ## Why you need them? Loyalty programs work in the background. They reward customers reliably, but they rarely create urgency. When you need to drive a near-term result — a slow week, a launch, a winback push — the only lever most stores reach for is a discount. Discounts work, but they train customers to wait. Run enough of them and your customers learn to never buy at full price. Boosters give you the same urgency-and-results lever as a discount — without touching your margin or training customers to wait. They're the loyalty-native answer to *“we need to drive sales this week.”* ## When to use them? * You need a near-term lift in revenue without discounting. * You're launching a new product or collection and want focused earning on it. * You're running a campaign during a high-stakes period (BFCM, holidays, anniversaries). * You want to give your VIP tier or new members a permanent earning advantage. * You want to automatically catch returning customers or first-time buyers with a meaningful welcome bonus. ## The 8 booster types Earn 2x, 3x or more on orders during a window. Fixed bonus points on each qualifying action. Reward customers for hitting a spend target. Reward N orders inside a time window. Reward consecutive periods of activity. Complete diverse actions to earn a bonus. Auto-bonus when inactive customers return. Elevated earning on a customer's first order. ## How boosters work Every booster campaign has the same four ingredients: 1. **A type** — multiplier, bonus flat, spending goal, order frequency, streak, multi-action challenge, dormant reactivation, or first purchase boost. 2. **A schedule** — a one-time window, a recurring pattern (weekly / monthly / quarterly), or always-on. 3. **Targeting (optional)** — which customers qualify, by VIP tier, customer tag, lifetime spend, or membership status. 4. **Product scope (optional)** — which products or collections it applies to. When a qualifying action fires (e.g., an order is placed), Yuko checks every active booster campaign in order, applies the matching ones, and credits the customer with the bonus. ## When to use a booster vs. a Way to Earn | You want to… | Use | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Reward every qualifying action, always | **Way to Earn** | | Drive a result over a specific window or for a specific cohort | **Booster Campaign** | | Give VIP members a permanent earning advantage | **Booster Campaign** (always-on, tier-targeted) | | Reward a customer's first order | **Booster Campaign** — First Purchase Boost | | Recover customers when they return after being inactive | **Booster Campaign** — Dormant Reactivation | | Drive AOV (basket size) | **Booster Campaign** — Spending Goal | | Drive purchase frequency | **Booster Campaign** — Order Frequency or Streak | ## Stacking with VIP tiers and other campaigns By default, booster campaigns stack with VIP tier multipliers and with each other. You can set a campaign to **exclusive** if you want it to be the only multiplier in effect during its window — useful for headline campaigns where you don't want VIP customers to compound to extreme multiplier values. ## Get started 1. Pick a booster type from the list above. 2. Open **Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Loyalty → Booster Campaigns** and click **New booster**. 3. Configure the schedule, targeting, and product scope. 4. Toggle **Active** and click **Save**. The campaign begins crediting points the moment the window opens (or immediately, for always-on campaigns). ## Best practices **Start with one or two boosters.** A storefront with five overlapping boosters dilutes attention and confuses your earning math. **Use a multiplier instead of a discount** the next time you'd reach for a percentage off. Same urgency, no margin hit. **Reserve “always-on” boosters for cohorts** — VIP members, first-30-days customers, paid members. Always-on store-wide boosters become invisible. **Test with a real customer record** before launching publicly. Booster math compounds in ways you don't always anticipate. ## Recommended reading Earn 2x, 3x or more on orders during a window. Fixed bonus points on each qualifying action.
