Should a D2C brand start a loyalty programme?

Short answer

A loyalty programme helps once you have a base of repeat buyers and products people reorder or collect. Keep it simple: points or rewards that are easy to understand and redeem. For many young brands, a good referral offer is a better first step.

Judge it by its effect on repeat purchase rate and margin, not sign-ups.

Exclusive early access to new drops can be a stronger reward than discounts for fashion brands.
