CASE STUDY:
STRIPT VIP Program
The STRIPT VIP Program was designed to make every tier — HBIC, BESTIE, and BADDIE — feel seen, rewarded, and part of something exclusive.
Each level came with its own set of benefits and experiences, designed to increase retention, AOV, and emotional connection to the brand.
how it works
HBIC + Bestie: Receive exclusive early access to all product drops at 10 AM ET, one hour before public release.
Baddie: Early access begins at 11 AM ET, creating staggered traffic that maintains excitement and manages site performance.
Birthday Rewards: Automated campaigns deliver tier-based birthday discounts, a meaningful retention driver.
Personalized Access Codes: Each tier gets its own timed dedicated early access code for every new drop.
Real-Time Email Coordination: Timed Klaviyo email + SMS sends align perfectly with Shopify’s drop windows, ensuring VIPs receive access precisely when the site opens for them.
Why it works:
The staggered launch structure not only builds anticipation but turns early access into a moment of exclusivity that VIPs look forward to. Emotional reward + practical incentive = deepening loyalty while boosting sales on drop days.
The Outcome
Since launching the new VIP structure in May of 2024:
Subscriber list grew by 15.8K+
Open rates averaged 70%, click rates 11%
Drop-day conversion reached up to 7.17%
$1.8M+ in attributed revenue across campaigns
Zero failed send days — flawless coordination between email automation + timed Shopify locks
What started as a segmented email list evolved into a membership-like ecosystem that drives loyalty, urgency, and consistent conversions.
The program made STRIPT’s customers feel like insiders — and that sense of belonging became the brand’s strongest marketing channel.
