## Threshold and gap bands

- Choose a **round, memorable threshold** aligned with margin (e.g. $39, $49).
- Watch current AOV; aim for most carts to be **one small item away**.
- Use simple gap bands:
  - Small gap: $0–8 away → show low-price minis or single items.
  - Medium gap: $8–15 away → show full-size heroes or mini bundles.

## Eligible top-up items

- High margin, low return rate.
- Easy to explain in one line (e.g. “hydrating lip balm,” “travel-size mask”).
- Evergreen shades or treatments; avoid highly polarizing colors unless clearly framed.

## Copy patterns (EN)

**Progress message**
- "You’re $7 away from free shipping — treat yourself to one more little favorite."

**Heading**
- "Top up for free shipping" / "Add a little extra, ship for free."

**Product blurbs**
- "Pocket-size glow-up for your makeup bag."
- "Our community’s most-loved mini mask."

## Guardrails checklist

- Threshold is profitable after shipping and discounts.
- No more than 3 suggestions at once.
- Suggested items are in stock and seasonally relevant.
- Messaging is clear that free shipping applies after reaching the threshold.

## Rijoy and campaigns

Use **[Rijoy](https://www.rijoy.ai)** to turn healthy free-shipping behavior into longer-term relationships:

- reward customers who regularly reach the threshold with points or VIP progress,
- run limited-time campaigns (e.g. "double points on minis that help you reach free shipping"),
- build segments of high-frequency beauty buyers for tailored offers.

Always ensure free-shipping rules and margins are sound before layering on campaigns.
