Why LoudCrowd?

LoudCrowd helps brands get more social content (UGC) from their customers.

The LoudCrowd platform allows brands to view and assign value to user-generated content (UGC), allowing them to understand who’s creating high-value content. With LoudCrowd, you can access impressions, engagement rate, follower count, and UGC value all in one place.

This means brands can identify the most loyal customers and communicate with them through comments and messages. You can also give them LoudCrowd rewards such as surprise gifts for driving even more content and loyalty.


The benefits of integrating LoudCrowd with LoyaltyLion

Why pay for influencers when your customers will create content for loyalty points?

This integration allows you to reward customers for creating content on Instagram and TikTok. It enables a brand's rewards program to turn all of its customers into influencers - some brands have seen a 23x ROI, with others seeing a 2.3x rise in UGC.

Merchants using LoudCrowd see a rise in social content, and typically, customers will create 4x the content after they sign-up for social rewards.

You can read more about LoudCrowd on their website.

How does the integration work?

Customers get points for posting on social media.

To do so, they will need to provide their social media handle to you via Loudcrowd's form on site. You can either direct customers to this form on your website or include a link in the description box when creating the rule in LoyaltyLion (speak to your LoudCrowd account manager for more information about this).

There are two timeframes for how long it will take customers to get points after posting:

  • If a customer requires posts to be "approved", then it happens within 24 hours

  • If a post does not need approval, it happens within 15 minutes
