Your Hub Can Be a Game-Changer
Did you know that for every dollar spent at a small business, 67 cents stays in the local community? This makes partnering with local businesses a win-win, benefiting not only your collaborating businesses, but the entire community. Here’s how you can create excitement around your rewards program while building meaningful connections with local vendors:
Offer Limited-Time “Pop-Up” Prizes: Team up with local businesses to offer special, time-sensitive deals. For example, ask your partnering business to discount a $25 gift card and allow your members to redeem it for only 200 points—driving more traffic to the local business. Add the gift card to your prize menu in the Hub and spread the word using communication manager. The urgency and value will excite your members and drive engagement.
Reward Local Shopping: Encourage your members to shop locally by giving them rewards points for supporting your community. Post signs with a QR code at partner businesses that members can scan to add points to their rewards account. You can even create a “shop local” challenge where members visit several businesses to earn points and complete their holiday shopping.
Craft Reward Packages with a Local Flair: Create unique rewards that combine your services with local businesses. How about a “Holiday Relaxation” package? Pair one of your services, like a teeth whitening session, with a massage or spa treatment from a nearby salon, and promote it using the promotions feature in your Hub. Members will love the chance to treat themselves, and you’ll build strong partnerships with local businesses.
Run a Co-Branded Social Media Giveaway: Get the word out with a co-branded social media giveaway! Partner with other businesses and offer a must-have prize. Promote your giveaway across all social channels for you and your partner businesses. Encourage entries through likes, shares, follows, and tags, and track your results in the Hub’s social media manager. Your social media presence will grow, and both your business and your partner will reach a wider audience.
Community partnerships are a powerful way to expand your customer base, offer more value to your members, and drive new business to your local partners. It’s a win for your business, a win for local partners, and a win for your members!

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
We're harvesting fantastic community spirit by spotlighting Ferri Orthodontics' incredible food drive! This initiative brought the community together to support local families in time for the holidays. Patients who participated by donating canned goods were awarded Hub points, making it a fun and meaningful way to give back while earning rewards for their generosity. What a great way to foster patient engagement and strengthen community connections, Ferri Orthodontics! |
💡 Tip: If your office is holding its own holiday food, coat, or toy drive, the Hub can help spread the word. Head to Promotions in your Hub to create a landing page, flyers, emails, and social posts. Learn more
