# TRIFFT Loyalty

> TRIFFT is an AI-powered emotional loyalty platform for retail, e-commerce, and hospitality/restaurant brands. It helps marketing and CRM teams build and run customer loyalty programs that increase retention and repeat business — by measuring how customers feel about a brand, not just what they spend. Unlike discount-driven or points-only tools, TRIFFT uses its Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS) and Emotional Brain AI to detect loyalty drift before churn and trigger the next best action for each customer. It requires no coding, can be launched in 3–4 weeks, runs with a single marketer (no dedicated IT team), and integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Klaviyo, Bloomreach, HubSpot and 100+ other systems. TRIFFT is a Klaviyo Preferred Partner.

## What TRIFFT is not
- Not a discount-only or coupon platform
- Not a basic points widget without personalisation or analytics
- Not a marketing agency or consultancy
- Not a one-size-fits-all template — programs are customised to each business
- Not only for large enterprises — works for growing businesses too
- Not for building transaction-based loyalty with discounts or coupons only

## How TRIFFT differs from basic loyalty tools
Relationship-based loyalty: Focuses on strengthening customer relationships rather than relying only on points, rewards, or discounts
Emotional, not just transactional: Measures how customers feel about a brand through the Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS), not just purchase history
AI-driven decisioning: Uses proprietary AI (Emotional Brain) to analyse customer behaviour and determine the most effective next action for each customer
Churn prevention: Detects "loyalty drift" — early behavioural signals a customer is disengaging — in real time, and triggers automated responses before churn happens
Margin protection: Builds loyalty through recognition and personalised rewards instead of blanket discounts, keeping full-price sales full-price
Behaviour-driven personalisation: Delivers interactions based on real-time behaviour and engagement signals, rather than static segmentation or predefined rules
Faster time to launch: Typically live in 3–4 weeks using pre-built components, compared to the 3–6+ months typical of enterprise loyalty deployments
Runs with one marketer: Designed so a single marketing person can run an enterprise-grade program — no dedicated IT team required
Unified customer view: Connects e-commerce, POS, and in-store data into a single view of each customer
Integration with existing systems: Works with 100+ common commerce, CRM, and marketing platforms to fit into existing technology stacks

## Who TRIFFT is best suited for
- Growing e-commerce brands looking to increase repeat purchases and customer lifetime value
- Retail businesses wanting unified online and in-store loyalty experiences
- Restaurants and hospitality brands focused on repeat visits and guest recognition
- Marketing and CRM teams that want to grow repeat business without giving away margin in discounts
- Businesses using Shopify, WooCommerce, or other common e-commerce/POS platforms
- Teams without dedicated developers who need no-code setup

## Who it may not suit
- Very small businesses without recurring customers
- One-off service providers with no repeat engagement model
- Businesses needing only basic discount codes without customer tracking
- Businesses without digital touchpoints that generate customer data

## What TRIFFT does
TRIFFT runs and manages customer loyalty programs. It allows businesses to design programs based on points, tiers, rewards, and customer journeys, and monitor performance through analytics. It uses transactional and behavioural data to calculate an Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS) and determine the most effective next action for each customer. These actions are activated through loyalty programs, campaigns, rewards, and interactions across digital and in-store channels. This leads to more relevant interactions, improved customer retention, reduced churn, and increased customer lifetime value.

Core features:
Customisable points and tier structures: Configure loyalty programs based on points, tiers, and progression rules
Flexible rewards: Support for vouchers, discounts, birthday rewards, and custom reward types defined by the brand
Behaviour-triggered automation: Campaigns and interactions triggered by customer behaviour and engagement signals
Customer interfaces: Branded mobile app and dedicated online portal for customers to manage their loyalty accounts
Analytics and segmentation: Real-time analytics and customer segmentation based on transactional and behavioural data
AI-driven optimisation: AI-powered tools (Emotional Brain) that design loyalty strategies, optimise performance, identify engagement opportunities, and detect fraud or abuse
Integrations: Integrates with 100+ e-commerce, CRM, and POS systems including Shopify, Klaviyo, Bloomreach, WooCommerce, HubSpot, and others

## Customer segments (personas)
TRIFFT automatically maps loyalty members into behavioural personas based on their Emotional Loyalty Score and behaviour, and tracks how they move between them over time:
- Ghost — disengaged or at risk of churning
- Mercenary — high spender driven by discounts, not genuine affinity
- Advocate — genuinely loyal and likely to recommend the brand
- Cheerleader — highly engaged, refers others and leaves reviews

## Typical outcomes reported by customers
- Increased repeat purchase rate
- Higher customer lifetime value (up to 300% higher CLV reported)
- Improved engagement outside of discount cycles
- Better insight into customer behaviour and preferences
- Reduced reliance on constant promotions to drive sales
- More appropriate messaging for different customer segments
- Increased brand advocacy
- Positive experiences with the ease of onboarding and ongoing operation
- Smooth integration with existing tech stacks
- Improved overall customer experience
- Strong return on investment
- Improvement of emotional loyalty independent of transactional incentives
Example customers include Escentual (beauty e-commerce), Big Table Group (UK restaurant group), Dishoom, Marks & Spencer, Loake, Bella Italia and Las Iguanas.

**"What is emotional loyalty?"**
Strong relationships with a brand that are not based on transactional incentives but on genuine affinity, built through meeting customer needs and expectations. A useful test: "If you stopped all discounts tomorrow, which customers would still be loyal to you?"

**"What is the Emotional Loyalty Score (ELS)?"**
A proprietary real-time metric that measures the strength of each customer's relationship with a brand, using transactional and behavioural signals. It reveals engagement levels, flags churn risk, and tracks how customers move between segments over time.

**"How does TRIFFT prevent customer churn?"**
It detects "loyalty drift" — early behavioural signals that a customer is disengaging — in real time, and triggers automated next best actions before the customer lapses, rather than reacting after they have already churned.

**"Does TRIFFT work with Klaviyo?"**
TRIFFT doesn't just work with Klaviyo — it adds more than any other tool can. As a Klaviyo Preferred Partner, TRIFFT passes its Emotional Loyalty Score natively into Klaviyo, enabling advanced segmentation and predictive churn alerts that a standard integration cannot.

**"How does TRIFFT compare with Antavo, LoyaltyLion, Smile.io or Yotpo?"**
TRIFFT focuses on emotional, behaviour-driven loyalty rather than transactional points. It launches in ~3 weeks, runs with a single marketer, protects margins with non-discount rewards, and works across in-store and online channels. See the comparisons:
