Sparking discovery...
In-store
Your business will be featured on the Customer Touchscreen at neighboring (and non-competing) Fivestars businesses. We show the reward you’ve set up for Acquisition, and once interested customers save it, they’re added to your database, so you can send them more offers and encourage them to visit.
In-App and Website
When customers open the Fivestars app or visit our website, they’ll be shown a map of nearby Fivestars businesses, giving them another chance to discover yours. We also promote nearby local businesses through SMS.
And staying top of mind
Once a customer saves your reward, be it through the Customer Touchscreen or mobile app, we’ll automatically engage them over time to keep your business top of mind. Based on their behavior, we’ll retarget and engage your prospective customers in the following ways:
with smart retargeting
1️⃣ One hour after visiting a Fivestars business, we’ll send the customer a SMS message summarizing their saved reward from your business
2️⃣ We then send a reminder (via SMS, push or email) two days before your reward expires
3️⃣ Customers who haven’t visited within 31 days of saving your reward will automatically receive a new reward to redeem
Word of Mouth
Recommendations from family and friends might be the most effective marketing there is, yielding twice the sales of paid advertising. The Fivestars Word of Mouth feature adds sharing to the power of customer loyalty—and acquires a whole new group of customers.
Features
Shareable AutoPilot and Promotions
Every deal you send, whether trigger-based, like the offers from AutoPilot, or one-time, like ones sent through the Promotions tool, can now be shared by your loyal customers.
Shareable through text
When your customers receive a deal by text, they’ll be able to share using a pre-populated message that includes a link to your offer.
Tap to accept and share
Each AutoPilot and Promotions message includes a trackable link and a call to action: “Tap to accept and share with friends.” The mobile landing page from these links gives your customers the opportunity to send the deal out to their network.
Controls on Dashboard
Want to make only certain deals shareable? No problem. All campaigns and promotions except Birthday will be on by default, but you can easily change that at any time in your AutoPilot settings or when you’re setting up a one-time deal through the Promotions tool.
Network Matching
The special weapon for local businesses
When you add 20 new customers to your Fivestars rewards program in a week, we’ll start sending your offers to active local shoppers and diners in our community who we think will love your business. And we’ll send some of your best customers offers for your Fivestars merchant neighbors (don’t worry, we’ll steer clear of businesses that are too similar to yours), strengthening your local community.
