Who are Never Fully Dressed?

Never Fully Dressed (NFD) are a fast-growth fashion brand committed to feel-good dressing with inclusive sizing.

Founded in 2009 by CEO Lucy Aylen, the brand has fostered a fiercely loyal community and social media following that loves its colorful designs and authentic ethos.

The challenge

With international expansion on the horizon, NFD sought to bolster their brand with a community-driven loyalty program. They wanted to reduce the time between purchases from three to two months, support retention, and grow the community at the heart of NFD.

NFD meets LoyaltyLion

Never Fully Dressed worked with LoyaltyLion to launch a loyalty program focused on building and rewarding its strong community of devoted members. 

The Loyalty Love Rewards program, launched in mid-2019, purposefully shortens the time between customer purchases throughout the loyalty journey. From a customer’s first purchase, they typically earn enough points to redeem a reward at second purchase, keeping them coming back for more.

Even customers who used the guest checkout are motivated to make a second purchase thanks to the brand’s tactic to backdate points by three months.

“It’s important to us that our program members instantly understand how much we value them. That’s why we’ve ensured they can redeem points for a reward as soon as possible. Once they feel the benefits, there’s no stopping them from truly becoming part of the tribe!”

Clearly-communicated benefits

77% of customers are motivated to join a loyalty program if the benefits are clearly communicated.

With this in mind, NFD also designed an Integrated Loyalty Page, personalized for logged-in members to see their points balance, rewards available, tier membership, and more.

Members can earn points in a multitude of ways, from making a purchase to activities that don’t involve spending – like providing birthday data or referring a friend, helping the brand connect with customers even between purchases.

Supporting exclusivity strategies with VIP tiers

Exclusive opportunities have always been at the heart of NFD’s brand strategy; their purposefully scarce stock creates urgency, meaning only the most engaged fans will secure new pieces.

Loyalty Love Rewards leverages the same strategy with its VIP tiers, offering more exclusive rewards the higher shoppers rise through the Pink, Gold, and Black tiers. 

For instance, members of the Gold and Black tiers can access one-on-one personal styling sessions via video call, which often sell out quickly. As a result, higher-tier members are encouraged to remain engaged with the program to secure their exclusive spot.

Our loyalty program perfectly elevates our existing go-to-market strategies. Now, customers return to the site not only to snap up new collections but also to build their points balance and unlock amazing new rewards, getting closer to us in the process.

How loyalty boosts NFD’s in-store and marketing approaches

Never Fully Dressed’s integration with Shopify POS allows customers to earn and redeem loyalty points in their pop-up stores, supporting the brand’s omnichannel strategy as it grows its brick-and-mortar offering.

The brand also leverages data from the loyalty program to personalize email communications, engaging their members and reducing time between purchases. They use these in:

  • Welcome emails
  • Tier progress messages
  • Points expiry emails

All of these nudge members to return, spend points, redeem rewards, and rise through the tiers.

The Loyalty Love Rewards program has been a huge success! We have grown contribution to revenue by over 200% since it began, and frequently see comments from customers about how much they enjoy accruing (and spending!) their points.

Watch: The secrets behind NFD’s hyper-successful loyalty program



Never Fully Dressed truly fosters Loyalty Love

The program’s purposeful approach has reduced the time between purchases from three to two months. That’s just the tip of the iceberg: other amazing results include powering 20% of total revenue through loyalty activity, plus members have a 4.3x higher lifetime value and order 2.7x as often as non-members.

In fact, CEO Lucy Aylen has cited the strength of NFD’s customer community as one of the reasons the brand thrived during the pandemic and is now going from strength to strength.
