Who are Rat & Boa?

Rat & Boa are a fashion brand known for their bold statement pieces designed to empower confident, style-conscious women.

With a strong global following, the brand have cultivated a reputation for high-quality designs that balance sophistication with effortless edge.

As a long-standing LoyaltyLion partner, Rat & Boa have worked with the platform for many years to continuously strengthen customer relationships and encourage repeat purchases.

What was their challenge?

Despite Rat & Boa’s strong brand identity and dedicated customer base, the company faced several key challenges in fostering long-term customer loyalty:

Retaining high-intent shoppers: While Rat & Boa’s collections generate strong demand, the brand wanted to keep customers engaged beyond single purchases and encourage repeat buying behavior.

Rewarding brand advocacy: With a passionate community of loyal shoppers, Rat & Boa wanted to incentivize organic promotion and word-of-mouth referrals.

Enhancing customer lifetime value (CLV): As a premium fashion brand, increasing the frequency of purchases and strengthening long-term relationships with customers was crucial to sustained growth.

Differentiating through experience: In a competitive fashion market, Rat & Boa needed to create an experience beyond transactional discounts and truly reflect the brand’s aspirational identity.

To address these challenges, Rat & Boa partnered with LoyaltyLion to create a loyalty program that enhances customer retention, drives repeat purchases and strengthens brand advocacy.

The program was designed to seamlessly align with the brand’s aesthetic and ethos while providing meaningful rewards that encourage long-term engagement. Key features of the program include:

Exclusive Tiers & Rewards: The loyalty program features tiered membership levels, where customers unlock increasing benefits as they engage with the brand. Higher-tier members receive perks such as early access to collections and VIP experiences.
Points for Engagement: Customers earn points not only through purchases but also by engaging with the brand

“We’re using our loyalty program to offer top customers exclusive perks—like concierge-style services and early access to product drops. It’s a simple but powerful way to drive urgency and boost revenue.”

“It’s also been great to see how quickly customers sign up for early sale access. It just confirms that building retention into our strategy with a loyalty program is one of the smartest plays in ecommerce right now.”
