Steal-Worthy Loyalty Ideas from Top Brands

This article helped me see loyalty as more than just points; it’s a retention engine when done right.

A few smart ideas from the article:

  1. DIME Beauty uses an invite-only top tier to keep top spenders engaged.

  2. Fat and the Moon rewards eco-friendly actions like carbon-neutral shipping.

  3. The Honest Kitchen gives points for reading their mission and sharing pet stories.

That’s just 3 of them, there’s 8 more clever strategies like this in the full article.

Too many segments, too little ROI?

You don’t need more segments. You need the right ones.

At some point, segmentation can turn into a spreadsheet chaos (I hope you have one for recording the change logs).

This thread on Reddit asks a good one, where’s the line between useful and overkill? Some interesting comments as well.

DTC insights for the day

1. Shopify quietly launched AI Store Builder

On May 21, Shopify rolled out its AI Store Builder that creates three storefront layouts - theme, copy, and images from simple prompts. If you’re launching anything soon, this is worth checking out. The speed and simplicity could seriously reduce launch time especially if you’re just starting out.

2. Mentions of tariffs are now popping up in product reviews

Shoppers are calling out surprise fees, price hikes, and slow shipping—many blaming tariffs. One Kuru customer reported a $62 COD fee tied to tariffs. If you're seeing similar feedback, now's the time to rethink pricing, update your messaging, and smooth out shipping before it starts impacting your brand.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
