Features and Offers:
Sweepstakes: The winner is selected purely by chance, and by law, it must be free to enter. Requiring a purchase for a chance-based drawing would make it an illegal private lottery. They are ideal for brands seeking broad engagement and brand awareness with low barriers to entry.
Giveaway: This is an umbrella term used informally to describe any type of promotion where prizes are given to participants. It does not legally specify whether the winner is chosen by skill or chance, or what the entry requirements are.
Contest: The winner is selected based on skill or merit, such as the best photo, essay, or performance, which is then judged according to specific criteria. Because the outcome is based on skill, the element of chance is removed, which allows for the organizer to legally require an entry fee or purchase in some jurisdictions (though laws vary by state). All of our contests are free to join.
Point Rewards: Local Shop and Save members, which are your potential customers, will be rewarded with customed points in some of the following ways:
- Referral Points: Referral rewards through points systems offer incentives for customers to bring in new users, where both the referrer and the referred friend earn loyalty points for actions like signing up, making a first purchase, or hitting spending thresholds. These points build long-term engagement, integrate with existing loyalty programs, and can be redeemed for discounts, free products, or other perks, creating a self-sustaining growth loop for businesses. Both the referrer and the referee receive points.
- Promotional Points: Promotional rewards through point systems involve customers earning points for purchases or actions, which are then redeemed for valuable incentives like discounts, free products, gift cards, or exclusive offers, driving loyalty, engagement, and repeat business. These systems motivate customers through familiar earning/redeeming cycles, offer customization, and provide useful insights, with examples like earning points for spending, writing reviews, or referring friends, leading to tiered benefits or direct savings.
- Partner Points: Reach and create more value for customers by collaborating with partner brands to deliver exciting, multi-brand loyalty events and promotions.
- Tier Points: For rewarding the most value customers are the most loyal shoppers.
How Point Reward Systems Work
- Earning Points: Customers accumulate points by spending money, engaging with the brand (social media, reviews), or achieving milestones.
- Accumulating Points: Points add up in an account, often unlocking higher reward tiers or greater value.
- Redeeming Points: Points are exchanged for rewards, typically set with a monetary value (e.g., 100 points = $10 off).
- Tracking: Customers can monitor their balance and rewards online.
Gift Card Prizes: They will redeem their points with gift cards, like Amazon and Walmart.
Email Marketing: We endeavor to turn every email message into a moment that drives loyalty, engagement, and sales for our partners. Sending emails that inspire action.
Low-Cost: One setup fee and low monthly fees.
