Case Study – LYCON USA Pink Preferred Program

Background / Brief

For some time Lycon USA owner, Lindsay Miller, and I had been discussing a loyalty program to be implemented on lyconusa.com. While on it’s own this would have achieved the outcome of engaging customers by issuing rewards when they shopped, we worked through a way of gamifying the experience by creating levels that grant access to educational content and other benefits.

Once we mapped out what we wanted to achieve a number of tasks were identified, these included;

  • Relevant Web pages
  • Level structure
  • Editing of raw video material with graphic overlays
  • Clean up existing video content with standardised titles and thumbnails
  • Terms & Conditions
  • Promotional Copy, Graphics & Icons
  • A badge graphic identifying each level
  • MailChimp Campaign
  • User Roles for content access and restriction
  • Video Library uploaded to and embedded from Vimeo
  • Change all existing registered user roles to Pink Preferred Newbie

Once configured, the YITH Points and Rewards plugin automatically changes a user’s level when a number of points is reached. This worked well for the issuing of points, but another solution was required, a need to grant access to content for different levels. I use Ultimate Member for user role management, so set up a corresponding user role for each of the Pink Preferred Levels.

We determined the following LYCON Pink Preferred Levels

For the dollar value to increase as customers progress through to Pink Dream, Points Rules for each level had to be set up in the YITH Points and Rewards plugin.
