Reward tiers refer to a structured system of levels or categories used within reward programs, crowdfunding campaigns, or loyalty schemes. They are designed to incentivize participation by offering different benefits, perks, or recognition based on the level of contribution or engagement. This approach helps organizations motivate users, supporters, or customers to increase their involvement to achieve higher tiers with more exclusive rewards.
