The Brand
The Brand

Loulou Lollipop is a Vancouver based, B Corp, that designs premium baby essentials and gifts for modern families. Their products are known for high quality, sustainable materials, playful design, and thoughtful functionality.

Their customers are highly engaged and frequently return to purchase new items for their own families and gifts for loved ones.

Before launching their loyalty program, the brand already had strong repeat purchasing behavior. What they lacked was a structured way to reward loyal customers and create deeper engagement.

The Opportunity
Prior to Club Loulou Lollipop, the brand ran a referral cashback program that rewarded customers for bringing new shoppers to the brand. The team wanted to build something that rewarded ongoing engagement, not just acquisition.
Their goals included:
  • Reward loyal customers
  • Increase repeat purchasing
  • Create a program families love
  • Boost revenue during key sales events

They partnered with ethos to launch a loyalty program designed to drive engagement.

The Solution: Club Loulou Lollipop
Club Loulou Lollipop was built around a core principle: the more ways customers can engage with the brand, the more valuable each customer becomes. And it worked. Higher engagement quickly drove higher basket sizes.
members now:
  • Earn points on purchases
  • Refer friends and earn rewards
  • Enter monthly contests for a free gift
  • Access exclusive early sales
  • Unlock new loyalty tiers and benefits
  • Get rewarded for posting product reviews

This isn't a points-for-discounts program. It's a structured way to deepen the relationship between Loulou Lollipop and its best customers, with rewards designed to encourage larger baskets and repeat visits.

Customers join directly from the loyalty landing page or from their cart at checkout, meeting them at natural moments in the shopping journey. New members also receive points for purchases made earlier in the year, making membership immediately rewarding from day one.
