How WIRO Increased Club L London's Customer Retention by +21.6% with a Bespoke Loyalty Programme

Overview

As one of the UK's fastest-growing fashion brands, Club L London had already established a strong global presence through trend-led occasional wear and rapid international expansion. As the business scaled across multiple markets, the focus shifted from acquiring new customers to increasing the value of existing ones.

WIRO partnered with Club L London to design and deliver a fully integrated loyalty experience that rewarded customer engagement, encouraged repeat purchases and strengthened long-term retention. Using LoyaltyLion, we created a bespoke tiered rewards programme that became a central part of the brand's retention strategy, seamlessly integrated across its wider eCommerce ecosystem.

Client Objectives & Growth Goals

As customer acquisition costs continued to rise, Club L London wanted to shift its growth strategy towards retaining existing customers and building stronger long-term relationships.

The primary objectives were to:

  • Increase customer lifetime value (LTV) through a structured loyalty programme.
  • Improve customer retention and encourage repeat purchases.
  • Reduce reliance on blanket discounts by rewarding valuable customer behaviours.
  • Create a premium member experience that reflected the Club L London brand.
  • Integrate loyalty data with the wider Shopify ecosystem to support personalised marketing.
  • Deliver a scalable solution capable of supporting multiple international storefronts and currencies.

Rather than implementing a standard rewards programme, the ambition was to create an experience that would become an integral part of the brand's retention strategy

Challenges

Scaling a D2C fashion brand across multiple international markets brings a specific set of retention challenges, and Club L London faced several head-on:

  • Rising customer acquisition costs, creating pressure to shift the growth strategy towards profitable, organic retention rather than a continued reliance on paid acquisition.
  • Complex localisation requirements, with the brand needing one cohesive loyalty framework that could flex across regional stores and currencies without fragmenting the customer experience.
  • Disconnected marketing channels, where loyalty and customer data risked sitting in a silo instead of actively powering email, SMS, and app engagement.
  • No structured incentive to reward the brand's most engaged customers, meaning top-spending, highly loyal shoppers weren't being recognised or nurtured differently from first-time buyers.
WIRO's Approach & Process

Rather than deploying an off-the-shelf loyalty solution, WIRO worked closely with Club L London to design a retention ecosystem tailored to the brand's commercial goals and customer journey.

Designing a Tiered Loyalty Experience

At the heart of the project was the creation of Members Only, a bespoke tiered rewards programme designed to encourage customers to progress through increasingly valuable membership levels.

The programme introduced three distinct tiers:

  • Bronze, welcoming new members with foundational rewards, birthday bonuses and opportunities to begin earning points.
  • Silver, unlocked after spending £200, rewarding repeat purchases with exclusive benefits such as priority access to restocks.
  • Gold, unlocked after spending £400, providing premium experiences including complimentary delivery, exclusive sales and opportunities to influence future product collections.

By rewarding continued engagement rather than one-off purchases, the programme encouraged customers to build a deeper relationship with the brand over time.

Encouraging Meaningful Customer Engagement

The loyalty programme was designed to reward more than just spending.

Customers earned points for a variety of actions that supported both customer retention and brand growth, including:

  • Creating a customer account.
  • Downloading the mobile app.
  • Joining the mailing list.
  • Leaving verified product reviews.
  • Successfully referring friends.
  • Making purchases, with members earning points for every £1 spent.

This approach transformed loyalty into an ongoing engagement programme rather than a simple discount mechanism.

Building a Connected Technology Ecosystem

A key part of the project involved integrating LoyaltyLion with Club L London's wider eCommerce technology stack.

WIRO implemented a bidirectional integration between LoyaltyLion and Klaviyo, allowing loyalty data to power personalised lifecycle marketing automatically.

This enabled the marketing team to trigger communications based on customer activity, including:

  • Tier upgrades.
  • Points balance reminders.
  • Referral completions.
  • Exclusive invitations for high-value Gold members.
  • Personalised loyalty campaigns across email, SMS and mobile channels.

Instead of operating independently, loyalty became fully embedded within the brand's broader retention strategy.

Results Achieved

The completed loyalty programme gave Club L London a scalable platform for customer retention while creating more meaningful relationships with its growing international customer base.

The project delivered:

  • A fully bespoke Members Only loyalty programme built around customer lifetime value.
  • A seamless LoyaltyLion integration across Shopify and the wider eCommerce technology stack.
  • A premium customer account experience showcasing loyalty status, rewards and progression.
  • Automated lifecycle marketing powered by loyalty data and customer behaviour.
  • A consistent loyalty experience across multiple international storefronts.

The programme also generated significant commercial impact:

  • +21.6% increase in customer retention following the launch of the loyalty programme.
  • Automated loyalty journeys contributed to approximately two-thirds of the brand's email and SMS revenue through key lifecycle flows such as Welcome and Abandoned Cart.
  • Email and SMS combined grew to contribute 33% of total revenue, supported by personalised loyalty segmentation and automation.

By shifting loyalty from a promotional tool to a strategic retention engine, Club L London created a scalable foundation for long-term growth.
