Your shop is a treasure hunt. The people who visit love it. The people who don't visit don't know it exists. Social Perks bridges that gap with the customers you already have.
The gift shop marketing platform that turns every cute display, holiday season, and gift purchase into Instagram-worthy content.
Free for 14 days. No credit card. Cancel anytime.
Built for indie gift shops, stationery stores, candle shops, plant boutiques, and specialty retailers. We turn impulse-buy aesthetics into a marketing engine.
Your curated displays are the whole pitch. Customers who post a display they love and tag the store get $5 off today's purchase. Foot traffic from social posts becomes constant.
Gift recipients post the unboxing, tag the shop, and the original sender earns a perk for their next gift. Holiday seasons become content marathons.
Black Friday through Valentine's Day is 60% of your year. Our holiday campaigns drive foot traffic when it matters most — December conversion rates rival e-commerce.
If you stock local makers, give them visibility. Customers who post a maker's product tag both the shop and the maker, earning a free local-made item.
Launch any of these in under 5 minutes. Perks and copy pre-written. You just pick one and go live.

Gift shop marketing software usually means stale email blasts and Square loyalty programs. Social Perks builds the visual, social-first growth that gift shops actually need.
Every QR card, sign, and campaign template matches the curated feel of an indie gift shop. Nothing looks like big-box clearance.
We know December is everything. Our system flexes for peak seasons, pushing more campaigns when conversion is highest.
If you support local makers, our system amplifies them too. Local-vendor tags grow both their followings and yours.
“December revenue up 47% year-over-year. The display-discovery campaign brought new faces in every weekend. I've never had a holiday season like this.”
“Customers post our displays unprompted now. The shop went from 800 Instagram followers to 6,200 in eight months.”
“The gift-recipient unboxing campaign is brilliant. Every Christmas gift becomes 2-3 social posts. Repeat business is the highest it's ever been.”
One plan. Everything included. No per-customer fees, no setup charges, no hidden surcharges.
Free for your first 14 days. No credit card required.
Everything you need to know before starting your free trial.
Most marketing tools are built for ecommerce or SaaS. Social Perks is built for local gift shop businesses. Every template, perk, and AI suggestion is tuned for gift shop customers — the people, behaviors, and platforms that actually drive walk-ins, bookings, and reorders.
No. If you can send a text message, you can launch a Social Perks campaign. Pick a template, choose a perk (free coffee, $10 off, a free upgrade), and we generate the QR code, signage, and customer flow. Most gift shop owners are live in under 15 minutes.
They scan a QR code at your counter or follow a link from a receipt. They pick an action (post a photo, leave a Google review, tag a friend, share a story), complete it, and our system verifies it through platform APIs. Then they get their perk instantly — no manual checking.
Small, instantly-redeemable perks beat large ones every time. A free drink, a $5 discount, an upgrade, or a free add-on converts at 3-5x the rate of a "10% off your next visit" offer. Our AI suggests perk values based on your industry, location, and average ticket size.
Both — and the math works either way. A new customer acquired through a friend's Instagram post costs you ~$3 in perk value vs. $20-40 through paid ads. An existing customer who posts brings in 2.4 new visitors on average. Your existing fans are your cheapest acquisition channel.
Yes. Every post generated through Social Perks is auto-tagged with the required FTC #ad or #partner disclosure for the platform. We handle compliance so you don't have to think about it. This is built in and cannot be disabled.
Our AI review pipeline flags off-brand, inappropriate, or low-quality content before it counts toward a perk. You set your brand standards once (family-friendly, no competitor mentions, on-message), and the system enforces them automatically.
Most gift shops see their first customer post within 48 hours of launching. Measurable lifts in review count, Instagram mentions, and foot traffic typically show up within the first 14 days — which is why we let you try the entire platform free for two weeks.
See your gift shop grow through real customer posts. No credit card. No risk. Just results.
