Scenario

Bluepeak Logistics operates in logistics across Southeast Asia with about 226,609 active customers, who buy 13.7 times a year at an average basket of $2544. Gross margin is 44%.

Marketing proposes a points programme returning 6.5% of spend as future credit. The business case assumes a 6.1% lift in purchase frequency among members.

Analysis of the base shows 64% of customers already buy above the category average and would very likely enrol on day one.

Hint
Reveal suggested structure

Reward cost applies to all spend; incremental margin applies only to changed behaviour. Break-even uplift = reward rate / gross margin.
