Looking for program tips for the upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday event? We got you covered with some useful tips below.


Enable Notifications

We suggest turning on the "Welcome New Visitors" notification on your site. This feature will display a pop-up inviting new visitors to join your Loyalty program.

Benefits:

  • Opportunity for Engagement: Keeping notification on, means you might be missing out on engaging with potential members during this critical time.

  • Powerful Introduction: The notification serves as an effective tool to introduce your loyalty program to new site visitors, encouraging them to sign up and start earning points right away.

  • Enhanced Visibility: When activated, the pop-up will greet visitors and invite them to become part of your loyalty program. This small adjustment can significantly improve your program's visibility and effectiveness.

Why This Matters:

  • Engaging new visitors early can lead to increased sign-ups, especially ahead of the promotional period.

  • A simple notification can make a big difference in driving awareness and participation in your loyalty program.

How: You can adjust this setting by following the steps below, and find more information about it in our notifications article here.
