How to List a Promotion
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to configure your promotion and customise it to stand out.
Promotions are a great way to highlight special offers, events, or short-term deals directly on your profile. Setting up a promotion is quick and easy, and it will be visible to all users who view your profile.
1. Creating a Promotion
There are two ways to begin setting up your promotion:
- From the Homepage: Navigate to the Promotions header on your homepage and tap the '+' icon located to the right.
- Tap the wheel icon in the top left to access your settings.
- From here, tap 'Edit Profile' just under your profile image.
- Scroll down to Offers, and swipe to the right.
- Tap the '+' to add a new Promotion.
Once you've accessed the promotion setup page, you'll be able to fill in all the necessary details to get started.
2. Promotion Details
Here’s what you’ll need to include when configuring your promotion:
-
Promotional Text:
Write the message for your promotion. This text will be displayed on your profile and visible to users.
For example, "Locals Pizza Night every Thursday, plus 15% off!" -
Select an Image or Take a Photo:
Upload a high-quality image from your camera roll which reflects your promotion. If you don't have one ready, you can take a photo directly from the app by pressing the camera icon. -
Availability:
Use the dropdown menu to specify where the promotion is available. You can select In Store, Online, or In Store & Online, depending on your business needs.
3. Customisations
To make your promotion stand out with the image you've chosen, you can adjust the colour of the textual elements using these toggles:
-
Promotional Text:
- Toggle On for black text.
- Toggle Off for white text.
-
Availability:
- Toggle On for black text.
- Toggle Off for white text.
This gives you control over how the text appears, ensuring it complements the image and overall design of your promotion while keeping it easy to read for customers.
4. Social Option
Maximise the reach of your promotion by sending out a push notification to your followers. Note there is a limit on how many push notifications can be sent, so choose wisely!
-
Notify Your Followers:
You can choose to send a push notification to your followers when your promotion goes live. When users receive and tap on the notification, they will be taken directly your profile where they will be able to see the new promotion. This notification will also land in the in-app inbox of any of your followers. -
Notification Body Text:
Write a short, attention-grabbing description for the push notification. This text should entice users to click through and view the full promotion. For example: "Don’t miss our BOGO Pizza Night every Thursday! Tap to learn more." -
Important:
If you toggle on the push notification feature, the body text is required to successfully send the notification at the time of setting up your promotion.
4. Submit
Once you’ve filled out all the fields and customised your promotion, review everything to ensure it looks good and is ready for your audience.
Tap Submit to complete the setup and send the promotion live on your profile.
Key Tips:
1. Keep your promotions up to date
Make sure you remove any old promotions that are no longer running so that when customers visit your profile, they see the most accurate information.
2. Quality over quantity
You can only have 3 promotions running at any given time - keep your promotion clear and focused on offers your customers (and loyal following) will appreciate. Only highlight your latest offers or events.
