MAMS: Ideas for Downloads
Use these ideas for helping your merchants get more downloads.
And if any of your merchants use one of these ideas, please share with us so we can share it with others or possibly on the TLS Facebook page!
Scavenger Hunt (Anthony/Ryan)
What the customer sees:
Push goes out leading to Specials: “It’s National Scavenger Hunt Day! Wanna play a game and win a FREE PRIZE? Tap here and look for the triple stars ***!”
Text “hidden” in the top special: “***You found it! Now visit the Gallery Section of our app” (links to gallery)
Top image in Gallery is a silly picture of the owner holding a plate of spaghetti with a big arrow over the photo pointing to the spaghetti that says “Here’s your clue! Tap the Menu tab!”
Inside Spaghetti’s description it says this “Almost there…can you taste it? Look for a clue in the Catering section!” (links to catering)
Inside Catering “Great job! You’re good at this, just one more step away! Tap the coupon section to find your reward!!”
Coupon: YOU DID IT! Present this coupon for a FREE APP-ETIZER!
How we promote it to our merchants:
If you like the idea, we’ll create an email we can send to all TLS merchants to promote the idea and include a link to a slide show of a phone graphic showing each of the steps above.
Concierge clients will be contacted by their coaches offering to set it up for them.
Zendesk clients can set up their own based on the example from the slide show or contact the Coach’s Desk for ideas.
Teaser to help ensure customers’ apps are updated:
Anthony brought up a good point. Sometimes an app will not update automatically or quickly. So we could set up the scavenger hunt and lead to a “fake” coupon that says “You made it! Check back on May 24th for your coupon!”.

Come in with correct answer, get a discount. Put the question on the coupon so you can spell out the disclaimers.
