Spending Goal Booster

​

Overview

Customer earns a bonus when they cross a spending threshold inside a defined time window — e.g., spend $150 in 14 days, get 500 bonus points. Their spend can come from one large order or several smaller ones; the booster tracks cumulative spend.

​

Why you need it?

Multipliers and bonus boosters reward whatever the customer spends. Spending goals make the customer aim higher. When a customer knows there’s a 500-point bonus for crossing $150, they add the extra item to hit the target. The campaign converts "I was going to spend$90 anyway” into “$150 because I want the bonus.” AOV lifts without you discounting.

​

When to use it?

• You want to lift average order value over a defined period.
• You’re running a launch and want bigger baskets, not just more customers.
• You want a recurring monthly or quarterly stretch goal for your best customers.
• You’re driving customers to commit during a critical onboarding window (first 30 days).
• You’re clearing inventory in a specific collection and want concentrated spend there.

Use cases / Examples

​

One-time uses

1. Launch-week AOV push Spend $150 in 14 days during launch week to earn 500 points. Customers who would've bought a$90 starter pack reach for the $150 bundle instead. AOV lifts measurably during launch. 2. Quarterly stretch goal Spend $300 in the first 30 days of each quarter. Targets your best buyers and gives them a natural reason to bring forward purchases that would have spread across the quarter. Resets quarterly so it never goes stale. 3. Inventory clearance with scope Spend $200 on a specific overstock collection within 7 days. Combines AOV with inventory direction — the customer’s spend is concentrated where you need it. 4. Holiday gifting goal Spend $250 between Dec 1–15 to earn 1,000 points. Gift-shopping baskets are bigger anyway; the bonus tilts the customer toward you over a competitor for their full gift list.

​

Recurring uses

5. Monthly VIP stretch Spend $250 each calendar month to earn a bonus. Your repeat buyers self-qualify and the program creates a monthly engagement loop without any merchant work. After three months it becomes habit. 6. Quarterly elite target Spend $1,000 per quarter → exclusive reward (e.g., free gift on next order, points + tier accelerator). Reserved for the top decile of buyers. The reward signals that you see them.

​

Always-on uses

7. First-30-days stretch New customers who spend $100 in their first 30 days from signup get 500 bonus points. Drives the make-or-break first month — customers who hit two orders in the first 30 days are dramatically more likely to become long-term loyalists.

​

How to promote it

Spending goals work best when the customer can see their progress. Promotion is half launch announcement, half ongoing progress nudge.

​

Storefront — Loyalty Nudges puts progress on every page

The Loyalty Nudges widget surfaces spending-goal progress on every storefront page — the same progress visualization (“$92 of$150 toward your 500-point bonus”) appears in the drawer for any customer with an active goal. Combined with the Cart Redeem widget’s progress bar at cart, customers see how close they are almost everywhere they look. That continuous progress feedback is what makes spending-goal campaigns work. Don’t skip enabling these widgets.

​

Email — launch, progress, last-call

Pair the spending goal with an email cadence through your ESP. Klaviyo is the strongest pairing because Yuko pushes yuko_points_balance profile properties and Earn Points event properties for every qualifying order (see Klaviyo integration) — you can build a triggered flow that fires after every order showing the customer’s progress toward the goal.

• Launch email: state the target, the time window, and the bonus. “Spend $150 in 14 days → 500 bonus points.”
• Progress email (Klaviyo flow, trigger = Earn Points): “You’re $42 away from your 500-point bonus. Keep going: [link]”. The progress framing dramatically lifts repeat-order rate within the window.
• Last-call email: when the window is closing and the customer hasn’t hit the target, with a clear “N days left to earn”.

​

WhatsApp — final-stretch nudge

If you’ve connected a WhatsApp provider, reserve WhatsApp for customers who are 70%+ of the way to the goal with the window closing. “$28 away from your 500-point bonus — closes Sunday.” Highly personal, highly converting.

​

Reminder cadence

• Day 0 — enable Loyalty Nudges + launch email
• After each qualifying order — Klaviyo progress flow with current standing
• Window closing, target not hit — last-call email
• Final 24h, customer 70%+ to goal — WhatsApp message
