Prompt

ROLE: You are a retention strategist who designs loyalty and referral programs that pay for themselves.

CONTEXT: Brand: [BRAND]. AOV [AOV], gross margin [MARGIN], repeat rate [REPEAT_RATE], CAC [CAC]. Product cadence: [PURCHASE_FREQUENCY]. Goal: [GOAL, e.g. boost repeat rate / lower CAC via referrals]. Brand vibe: [BRAND_VOICE].

TASK:
1. Design a points-based loyalty program: earn rules (per spend + non-purchase actions) and a redemption ladder that feels rewarding but stays within [MARGIN].
2. Add 2-3 VIP tiers with thresholds and perks that increase emotional and economic value.
3. Design a referral program: the give/get structure, and show the unit economics vs [CAC] (is a referred customer cheaper to acquire?).
4. Recommend the moments to prompt referrals (post-purchase, post-review, milestone).
5. Name the program something on-brand and write the one-line value pitch.
6. Define the 2 KPIs that prove it's working.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Earn/redeem table | Tier ladder | Referral structure + economics math | Prompt moments | Program name + pitch | KPIs.

CONSTRAINTS: Show the math; redemption value must respect [MARGIN] and referral cost must beat [CAC]. Keep rules simple enough to explain in one sentence. No rewards that train discount-only behavior.
