To see which plans include social media follow please see our pricing page. If social media follow isn’t already visible in your Create new rule section, you can add it through Enhance LoyaltyLion tab.

How does it work?

You can offer your customers points when they follow you on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These activity rules are a good way to increase your store's social awareness as well as offering your customers additional ways to engage with your loyalty program.

Success tip: We would advise keeping the number of points you offer for the social following rules to a low number - for example 20 points for each rule (based on your setup being 5 pts/$1 spent).

Our social activity rule will be completed within a few seconds of a customer opening the facebook window after clicking the activity button. Attribution is set for click-though as social media providers do not pass back information about users activity.

A customer will only be given points for social activities once
