Customer gets a discount on product (coupon) if share?

[eqttrdr]

I see on different websites ways that when you either visit a page on an ecommerce site or add a product to the cart you are given a link to click that says either tweet about us or like us on facebook to receive a 10% off coupon.

Anyone know any service out there than could manage something like that? Only thing I found was a crappy woocommerce plugin that had horrible reviews.

wondering also about any cart retention tools you use


thanks!

All tweets and FB posts have a specific ID, I would have the user submit the tweet or post "id" as proof. You could write a piece of code that checks that specific post for the content keywords you required to be shared. That would be the most easily verifiable method I can think of. Best of luck to you!

Try www.gleam.io

You can ask a customer to do something in exchange for something.

Integrates not only with FB, Twitter but also Soundcloud, Youtube, Instagram etc...

For example you could get someone to watch a video or subscribe to your YT channel in exchange for the coupon. Or perhaps ask someone to sign up to your mailing list for 5% but if they also sub to your Instagram account they get 10% etc etc... very powerful!

BTW - be aware that FB pretty much called it a day on likes in exchange for an action. So be careful with that one : http://www.jonloomer.com/2014/08/11/facebook-like-gating/

You must not incentivize people to use social plugins or to like a Page. This includes offering rewards, or gating apps or app content based on whether or not a person has liked a Page. It remains acceptable to incentivize people to login to your app, checkin at a place or enter a promotion on your app’s Page.
