The Challenge: Maximizing Customer Recurrence in Fast-Fashion
In the highly competitive “accessible luxury” and fashion market, Desigual sought to move beyond sporadic seasonal shopping. The brand needed a mechanism that not only rewarded purchase volume but also incentivized customers to return more frequently throughout the year. The primary goal was to create a loyalty loop where every purchase fueled the next, while simultaneously building a community around the brand’s unique creative lifestyle.
The Solution: A Multi-Dimensional Tiered Cashback Ecosystem
Desigual implemented a tiered loyalty program that blends financial incentives with lifestyle experiences. The backbone is a progressive cashback model that scales with the customer’s loyalty level:
- Scalable Cashback: Earn a percentage back as credit; the percentage increases as customers move up tiers.
- Birthday & Milestone Surprises: Personalized gifts or high-value vouchers drive peak engagement during special moments.
- Beyond the Rack: Higher tiers unlock private sales, exclusive events, and partner perks aligned with Desigual’s artistic DNA.
“Our loyalty program is a reflection of our clothes: bold, colorful, and full of life. By linking cashback tiers with exclusive lifestyle experiences, we’ve created a virtuous cycle. It's no longer just about buying a jacket; it's about being part of a movement that rewards your individuality at every step.”

The Result: Building a High-Velocity Loyalty Loop
The combination of immediate financial gratification (cashback) and emotional rewards (events) transformed customer behavior. Desigual achieved:
- Enhanced Redemption Cycles: Cashback creates a “burning a hole in the pocket” effect—customers return faster to spend credit.
- Increased Cross-Channel Engagement: Private sales and partner perks drive traffic to e-commerce and flagship stores.
- Premium Customer Profiling: Tiering identifies top advocates for hyper-segmented comms without mass discounting.
