Automated Ambassador Engagements

Context

GoNanas had a small but loyal social community and an affiliate program, but they wanted to take it to the next level. As a small team, they needed tools to scale their customer marketing and create an automated ambassador program that’s open to all customers, regardless of influence or follower size.

Solution

Leveraging LoudCrowd’s automated rewards and communication tools, GoNanas was able to scale their ambassador program to 1,884 members and automate their social gifting efforts that previously were managed manually through one-to-one communication.

Results

The all-customer ambassador program drove measurable lift across community size, earned media, and engagement in its first year.

Program members

GoNanas grew to 1,844 members in their all-customer ambassador program.
