February marks the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, so we've packed this month's Hub Action Plan with marketing ideas that will start your lunar year off with a roar.
Send an in-app message to encourage members to check out this month's contests and surveys. Then keep them engaged with new ways to earn rewards, like wearing red or pink to their office visit to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Use the Hub to promote a Girl Scout Cookie drive to benefit the military, first responders, or your local food bank. Members can held spread the word with a push of a button. Then send an automated Valentine's wish with instant points to really sweeten their month.
It's all in this month's Hub Action Plan, and it can be in your Hub in mere minutes. Let's leap in! π―
COMMUNICATIONS
The Communications tool makes it easy to stay in touch with members in between visits with professional graphics and messages that can be sent as emails and in-app notifications. Messages can be sent instantly, or scheduled for future release with or without a recurring feature. Set up templates to make sending follow up messages or care instructions easy peasy.

Use the sample message below to let members know about new ways they can earn points this month. Adjust the copy as needed if you choose not to hold a cookie drive or award points for Valentine's Day.
π‘ Tip: Schedule this message for January 31st so it arrives one day before the notification of your new contest

Good Fortune Heading Your Way
Did you know the Lunar Year begins February 1st? What a perfect excuse for a "reset" if 2022 hasn't started out the way you'd hoped!
According to the Chinese zodiac, 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. Those born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be brave, competitive, unpredictable, and confident.
If you're a "Tiger," we've got a great contest in the Hub to appeal to your competitive side. For the rest of us, it's just plain fun.
We've also added new ways to earn points with survey questions, and new rewards β like participating in our Girl Scout Cookie Drive. Watch for more information about how to donate Girl Scout cookies to our military, first responders, and local food banks later this month.
And speaking of points, we have a sweet surprise coming your way on Valentine's Day.
It looks like the Year of the Tiger may just be your year! π―

AUTOMATIONS
Automations set up your Hub to instantly welcome members to your rewards program and award them points when they register their accounts. Additional points can be automatically awarded for reviews, mobile app logins, birthdays, and more. QR Code automations allow members to scan and earn points for office visits and fun scavenger hunts. Let your Hub do the heavy lifting by setting up all available automations.

A holiday automation for Valentine's Day is a sweet way to wish everyone a happy holiday and award rewards points to celebrate. Edit the number of points or message to suit your needs, and schedule the automation for February 14th.

Seasonal referral campaigns are a great way to remind members that you offer rewards for referrals. We recommend creating a new seasonal campaign once every 2-3 months. Your standard campaign will automatically begin again once your standard campaign ends.

If you scheduled a quarterly seasonal campaign in December, you're all set to go until next month. But if it's been some time since you reminded members to refer their friends to you, here's a new Valentine's-themed graphic you'll find in Referral Manager in your Hub. |

REWARDS
Adding new rewards to your Reward Menu can generate more interest from members to earn points. Holding a special event soon? Award points to members who bring a friend with them. Or hold theme months and award points to members who participate. Add a "word of the month" to your social media or send the word in an in-app notification; then reward members who can recite the word of the month at their next visit.
