The [Luxury Pavilion Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebay-luxury-exchange) is an invite-only retail loyalty program that refines online shopping experiences. The new system gives individuals the option to enjoy "exclusive offers, celebrity events, flexible payment options, priority purchases and door-to-door returns."

With this retail loyalty program, Alibaba is able to provide a more memorable and efficient e-commerce experience that is convenient, exclusive and beneficial to consumers. The Luxury Pavilion offers products and apparel from household brands like [Hugo Boss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugo-boss-1), Maserati, Givenchy and more. Its retail loyalty program has a two-tier-based system — Regular and Premier.

It is reported that half of Alibaba's e-commerce revenue comes from [Millennial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minted-and-doordash) consumers. The luxe reward system rollout between the online platform and Tmall can serve as an introduction of luxurious retailers to a younger demographic.
