So what is a social coupon?
A social coupon is the digital version of a traditional coupon distributed on a social network like Facebook.
Instead of finding coupons in a newspaper or in the mail, Deluxe’s new social coupon product makes it possible for businesses to reach customers wherever they are, at any time– whether on their mobile phone, their computer, tablet, or on the go…
Launching social coupons for businesses is easy and effective, enabling you to drive real ROI for businesses. The best part – it is EASY to get a Social Coupon created and launched for clients. Here’s how it works:
1.) You speak to the perspective (or existing) client about the product, and determine an offer that would work for their business. (Remember – the better the offer, the better the results will probably be…)
2.) Deluxe’s fulfillment teams will design and create a social coupon promotion branded for the business
3.) Once the promotion is created, we will launch it for the business by posting a link to the promotion on Facebook and linking it or i-framing it into their website.
4.) After the promotion is live, we will boost it with targeted Facebook advertising to help drive results
Once the promotion is live, customers can access it from any of their digital devices including smartphones, desktop and tablet devices.
They will find the business’ promotion by seeing it on their Facebook feed, via Facebook advertising, on the business’ website or in a digital marketing material like an email newsletter campaign etc.
Here is the experience from the user perspective:
1.) They see the offer online and click the link, arriving at the social coupon’s promotion landing page. Here they will see the call-to-action for the coupon offer – to share a message with their friends on Facebook to unlock the coupon.
The user simply clicks the “Post to Facebook” button and…(GO TO NEXT SLIDE)
Deluxe’s technology will post a message (that the user approves) about the offer to their friend on Facebook. (NOTE: if a user does not want to share the message, they can also hit the skip button to bypass the share and go strait to the coupon / entry page).
The post appears on the user’s Facebook Timeline wall and in the Facebook feed so their friends and family can also participate in the great deal simply by clicking the link.
Once the user shares the message, Deluxe’s technology unlocks the coupon and entry page. This is where the user can retrieve the coupon and enter their information for additional opportunities like signing up for a business’ newsletter.
