How customers become marketers

One loop that keeps growing

Every promotion feeds the next stage. The new customers your regulars bring in join your list, and the loop starts again.

  1. 1

    Build your list

    Promotions sign customers up to a rewards program you own.

Stage 1 · Build

Start with a list that belongs to you

Every promotion signs customers up to your rewards program with their consent, so you stop renting attention from social platforms and start owning it.

  • Consent for texts and email collected the right way, every time
  • One customer record across every promotion you run
  • Rewards your customers can see and use from their phone

Stage 2 · Activate

Give them a reason to come back this week

A list is only worth something if people come back. Time-limited offers and visit challenges turn one-time customers into regulars.

  • Offers that expire or lose value by the hour, so customers act on them
  • Visit challenges that reward the habit, not just the sale
  • Automatic texts and emails when a reward is waiting

Stage 3 · Amplify

Your best customers are your best ads

People trust their friends more than any ad. Reward customers for sharing a video, sending a friend or spreading the word, and they reach people you never could on your own.

  • Customer videos you approve before anyone sees them
  • Referral links that credit the right customer automatically
  • Rewards for taking part, never for a positive review

How we calculate this

Customers a month = customers a day × days open. Of those, the share who take part join your list. Some of them come back for an extra visit; for referral-style promotions, each participant also brings in new customers.

Extra sales = extra visits × average spend + new customers × average spend × their first-year visits. Profit = extra sales × your margin − the rewards actually redeemed.

Starting numbers are set around published benchmarks for referral programs and gamified sign-ups. The review-video reach is our own estimate. Change any of them to match your business.

Estimates based on the numbers you enter. Not a guarantee of results. Customers are rewarded for taking part, never for leaving a positive review.

New · Countdown Coupon

A coupon worth the most the moment they get it

It starts big and drops on a schedule you choose until it’s used or reaches its lowest value. Customers watch the value fall live on their phone, so the best time to come in is always now.

  • You set the clockDollars or percent off, how much it drops, every hour, day or week, and the lowest it can go before it ends.
  • Paused while you're closedTurn it on and only your opening hours count, so nobody loses value overnight or on your day off.
  • Reminders that tell the truthTexts before the next drop and a last-chance nudge, worded from the real rate of loss. Opt-ins and quiet hours apply.
  • Fair at the counterWhen staff check the code, its value holds for 15 minutes while they ring it up. Works in store, on Toast and on Shopify.

Games and referrals

Why games and referrals outperform a plain coupon

Scratch cards and prize wheels are claimed far more often than a flat discount at the same average cost, because you control the odds while the customer gets a reveal. Referrals go further: your customers do the asking.

Games & prizes

Scratch & win and spin-to-win

You set the odds. We draw them server-side.

The same discount budget, delivered as a small game. Customers scratch a digital card and see what they got, which is memorable in a way that a flat coupon is not — and it gives you the excuse to put a card on every table.

  • Weighted prize tableSix prizes by default, each with its own weight. Adjust the weights and the average payout moves with them.
  • Outcome decided on the serverThe prize is drawn before the card is revealed, so nothing in the browser can be tampered with to force a win.
  • Every reward is a unique codeSingle-use, expiring, redeemable in store or online, and marked redeemed the moment your staff look it up.

Also available as a prize wheel, a giveaway draw and a share-to-unlock reveal.

Referral growth

Refer-a-friend

Your best customers can bring the next ones

A referral promotion turns one happy customer into a small, trackable acquisition channel. Promotedly mints a unique referral URL for each customer and follows it all the way to the friend's redemption before it releases the reward.

  • A link per customerEach referrer gets their own short link, and every claim through it is attributed back to them automatically.
  • Both sides rewardedSet the friend's reward and the referrer's reward independently, and release the referrer's only once the friend redeems.
  • Chains you can auditSee who referred whom, cap referrals per customer, and spot self-referral before it costs you anything.

Thirteen promotions

A promotion for every stage

Run one at a time or rotate them. Every one adds customers to the same list and the same reporting.

Your brand page

Print one QR code. Change the promotion anytime.

Your brand page always shows what is running right now, so you never reprint a sign when you switch promotions.

  • One link and QR code for your shop, printed once
  • Schedule what shows when: video reviews this week, a scratch card next week
  • Your current promotion leads, with everything else running underneath

How it works

Four steps from signup to first claim

No agency, no developer, no design work. Most businesses have a promotion printed and live the same day they sign up.

  1. Build your branded rewards page

    Add your logo, locations, website and phone number once. Every promotion your customers open is wrapped in your brand, not ours.

  2. Pick and configure a promotion

    Choose from thirteen promotion types, set the reward, the odds, the fine print, the colours and the images. A live preview sits beside the builder the whole time.

  3. Deploy it as a QR card or a pop-up

    Print the tabletop card, or paste one line of code into your website for the pop-up. Both point at the same campaign and the same reporting.

  4. Watch the list and the revenue grow

    Scans, claims, redemptions and referrals land in analytics in real time. Every opted-in customer flows into automated email and SMS re-marketing.

Pricing

Questions

Everything people ask before signing up

What is Promotedly?
Promotedly is a promotional engine for local businesses. You configure a promotion — a coupon, a countdown coupon that loses value by the hour, a scratch card, a referral offer, a loyalty punch card and eight more — deploy it as a printable QR card or a website pop-up, and every customer who claims it can opt into your rewards program for email and SMS follow-up.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. A customer scans the QR code or taps the pop-up, the campaign page opens in their phone browser, they enter the details you asked for and the reward appears on screen. There is no app, no account and no password.
How long does it take to launch the first promotion?
Most businesses are live in under fifteen minutes. Brand setup takes about five, configuring a promotion takes about five, and deployment is either printing a PDF or pasting one script tag into your site template.
How do you stop people claiming the same offer over and over?
Every promotion has a one-per-customer switch, per-campaign and per-day claim limits, unique single-use reward codes, rate limiting by IP and duplicate detection on referral chains. Prize outcomes for scratch, spin and giveaway campaigns are decided on our server, never in the browser.
Can I run more than one promotion at a time?
Yes. Every plan, including Free, runs unlimited campaign types at the same time. You only pay for the size of your customer database.
Who owns the customer data we collect?
You do. Customers are collected into your brand's rewards database with a written consent record for each channel, including the exact disclosure text they agreed to, the timestamp and the source URL. You can export or delete that list at any time.
