Fostering loyalty in the babywear and maternity clothing industry comes with unique challenges. On one hand, the consumer base — the little rascals — grows quickly and is in constant need of new clothing. However, if a company can capture the hearts of a newly formed family, it can be their choice for generations to come. The loyalty program at JoJo Maman Bébé, JoJo Clubhouse, aims to capture hearts with a unique, omnichannel reward system.

Pivoting Towards an Engaging, Next-Gen Loyalty Program
JoJo Maman Bébé is an omnichannel retailer of maternity wear, babywear, and nursery products, with a thriving eCommerce presence and over 80 stores in the UK and Ireland. The company partnered with Antavo to create a unique customer experience that resonates with the brand’s values. As a result, the JoJo Clubhouse loyalty program pivoted away from a transactional focus and aimed to establish a long-lasting connection with its customer base.
We wanted an omnichannel loyalty programme that helped to increase customer LTV and convince single buyers to make that all-important second purchase. We have chosen Antavo because they provided the omnichannel solution that JoJo was looking for, being able to reward loyal customers no matter where or when they shopped.
Devising an Omnichannel Loyalty Program that Raises AOV
JoJo Maman Bébé had a very successful single-channel loyalty program where customers used paper-based cards in the store. Realizing the potential of a unified reward system, JoJo sought to introduce an omnichannel loyalty program in order to reward customers at every touchpoint and to incorporate more sophisticated engagement elements, such as challenges and incentivized content consumption.
In general, the company sought to achieve the following goals:
- Reward loyal customers rather than one-time buyers
- Increase the lifetime value of existing customers
- Offer an omnichannel customer experience
to make purchases more often.
JoJo Clubhouse: Rewarding Loyalty & Engagement
The JoJo loyalty program approaches the traditional loyalty formula in a fresh way. Instead of getting points (or stripes, as they are called) for every £ spent, members receive stripes based on their purchase value and tier. JoJo Clubhouse was designed to ensure that tier upgrades are only received after a specific number of purchases are made and minimum order values are met.
A Tier-Driven Reward System
JoJo Maman Bébé has created a loyalty program with a variety of rewards that go beyond the usual selection, including a £5 welcome discount, free gift wrapping, and many others. Also, higher tiers not only unlock more rewards, but members who reach the second tier have access to additional monthly offers and have the opportunity to earn stripes through additional, non-transactional actions, such as writing product reviews.
Creating True Omnichannel Engagement
In order to create a seamless omnichannel experience with its loyalty program, JoJo Maman Bébé rewards customers for both online and offline purchases thanks to Antavo’s Mobile Wallet technology. This technology allows members to use digital loyalty cards to identify themselves in-store. Moreover, the reward system is geared toward promoting omnichannel engagement through in-store events, VIP shopping parties, and in-store sale previews.
Outstanding Results
Throughout its first year, JoJo Clubhouse proved to be of great value to the brand. Overall, the loyalty program has been a continued success, popular among customers old and new. It has helped to improve average order value, time between purchases, as well as the number of purchases among customers. Also, JoJo Clubhouse members are shown to be much more active buyers than non-members.
Program results after year one:
- The average order value has increased by 33%
- The number of days between orders has been reduced by 35% for new customers
- The average number of purchases per Clubhouse member is 4.9

Join the Clubhouse of Innovation
The JoJo loyalty program is an excellent example of how to take an existing reward system to a new level. The company not only switched from a paper-based card system to a digital one, but they introduced a completely new system that rewards more forms of engagement, too — not just purchases. As such, it’s far more effective when it comes to building loyalty.
