Basecamp Rewards Program

Current Structure

How it works:

  • Customers sign up via the mobile app or in-store
  • Earn 1 point per $1 spent
  • 100 points = Free drink (any size)
  • 200 points = Free food item
  • Birthday reward: Free drink on your birthday month

Member tiers (launched month 2):

  • Trailblazer (0-199 lifetime points): Basic rewards
  • Explorer (200-499 lifetime points): +10% bonus points
  • Summit (500+ lifetime points): +20% bonus points, early access to new drinks

Current Metrics (as of last month)

Metric Current Target Status
Total sign-ups 12,400 15,000 83%
Monthly active users 2,100 8,000 26%
Avg visits/month (members) 2.3 4.0 58%
Redemption rate 18% 40% 45%
30-day retention 31% 60% 52%

The Problem in Plain English

People are signing up, but they're not engaging:

  • Only 17% of members have earned any points in the last 30 days
  • Most members forget they're even in the program
  • The app gets downloaded, used once, then ignored
  • Tier progression feels meaningless (no one cares about "Explorer" status)
  • Redemptions are low because people don't accumulate enough points

What We've Tried (and what happened)

  1. Double points weekends - Slight uptick during promotion, back to normal after
  2. Push notifications - Low open rates (8%), some users turned off notifications
  3. Email campaigns - 12% open rate, 2% click-through (industry average is 15%/3%)
  4. Tier celebration emails - No measurable impact on behavior

Key Stakeholders

  • Your Manager (Dana) - Marketing Director, supportive but under pressure from above
  • Leadership Team - CFO skeptical of ROI, CEO wants "innovation" but unclear on specifics
  • Store Managers - Frustrated with current program, want something their baristas can actually talk about
  • Customers - Based on feedback, they find the program "fine but forgettable"

Budget & Constraints

  • No additional budget for the program (use what exists)
  • Mobile app can be updated (dev team has bandwidth)
  • Can launch new campaigns/promotions
  • Can add new features within the existing app framework
  • Cannot change the fundamental points structure (legal/accounting reasons)
