Loyalty isn't a label.
It's a position that moves.

Every customer sits on two axes — how much they love you and how much they spend. Next Best Action moves them: a Mercenary toward Advocate, a Ghost won back.

Love — emotional attachment: sentiment, advocacy, engagementSpend — transactional value: frequency and revenue
Mercenary
Low love · High spend
Buys often, but only on discount. Shift them toward real loyalty.
Advocate
High love · High spend
Loves you and spends. Reward and reinforce — your growth engine.
Ghost
Low love · Low spend
Drifting toward churn. Win them back before they lapse for good.
Cheerleader
High love · Lower spend
Evangelists who spread the word. Turn their enthusiasm into reach.
Free playbook

Turn Ghosts into Advocates

Get the exact strategies to move every persona — win back Ghosts, convert Mercenaries, and grow Cheerleaders into Advocates.

Frequently asked questions

What is TRIFFT Emotional Brain?+
TRIFFT Emotional Brain is the AI intelligence layer of the TRIFFT loyalty platform. It designs loyalty strategy, scores how emotionally loyal each customer is, spots churn risk that spend data misses, and recommends the single next best action to strengthen each relationship. In short: it tells CRM and marketing teams who is at risk and exactly what to do about it.
What is the Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS)?+
The Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS) is a customer-level metric from 0–100 that measures the strength of each relationship using both transactional and non-transactional data. By combining spend and frequency with engagement signals like referrals, reviews, sentiment, brand affinity and NPS, it gives a complete view of loyalty — helping you identify truly loyal, at-risk or promotion-driven customers at a glance.
What is Next Best Action (NBA)?+
Next Best Action (NBA) determines the single most effective action to strengthen each customer relationship. It evaluates the customer's Emotional Loyalty Score and its movement, their journey stage, past campaign performance and your business goals to decide what should happen next for every individual or segment — often without resorting to a discount.
How do the Emotional Loyalty Score and Next Best Action work together?+
They form a measure-and-act loop. The Emotional Loyalty Score measures loyalty and detects change — a falling score flags a customer as at risk before their spend drops. Next Best Action responds to that movement by choosing the most effective step to recover or grow the relationship. The action then feeds back into the score, so you can see its impact and the system sharpens over time. The score notices; the action responds.
What is Plan Builder and how does it fit in?+
Plan Builder is where a loyalty program starts in TRIFFT. It turns a few business inputs — your goals, audience and offers — into a launch-ready loyalty strategy in under four weeks. It's part of the same connected system: the targets you set in Plan Builder become the loyalty you measure with ELS and the moves Next Best Action makes on your behalf.
How does TRIFFT work with Klaviyo Composer?+
TRIFFT is a Klaviyo Preferred Partner with a one-click integration. It streams each customer's Emotional Loyalty Score and cluster categorisation (Ghosts, Mercenaries, Advocates, Cheerleaders) directly into the Klaviyo data platform, so Klaviyo's AI agent Composer builds campaigns based on real emotional loyalty rather than purchase history alone. Composer executes the omnichannel campaigns, engagement data flows back to TRIFFT to recalculate each score, and both platforms get smarter with every cycle. You keep all your existing Klaviyo flows and channels.
How does TRIFFT move from insight to execution?+
Emotional Brain generates the strategy, measures loyalty and identifies the next best action. Loyalty Engine then turns those decisions into live interactions — rewards, tiered programs, orchestrated journeys and personalised customer touchpoints — at scale across your CRM, marketing and commerce integrations.
Who is Emotional Brain for?+
Emotional Brain is built for CRM Managers and Marketing Managers in mid-market retail and e-commerce who own retention, churn and loyalty performance. It helps them segment on real loyalty rather than spend, catch at-risk customers early, personalise at scale, and decide the right action for each customer without over-discounting.
