    It's been great to incentivize appointments. I can also see that it would be a good tool to send gifts to existing customers.

    SOCi is a fantastic tool for a franchise business because it provides the ability to post in bulk while also posting localized content. So, you can share the same basic content across all of your locations, but SOCi's tagging system inserts a location's phone number or website for each individual location. This helps create a localized feel and personalized touch -- but you only schedule one post, making it easy and efficient to localize content in mass posting. This principle applies to paid ads as well. Because of these features, SOCi may not be the best platform for companies with just one location

    • It is very helpful platform for the growth of a company.
    • Its analysis helps us in foreseeing situations that can be either good or bad and ensure that we think of a possible solution.

    Cons
    Giftbit
    • I didn't love having to buy credits in advance, but since Giftbit recommended how many we'd need to buy, it wasn't terrible.

    • Their analytics are sub-par to other tools that I use.
    • Their website can be a little clunky until you learn to navigate it.
    • It takes a long time to be fully on-boarded and running on the platform with all information syncing together.

    There are some aspects of the scheduling of posts that could be more user friendly for the less tech-savvy users.

    Support Rating
    Giftbit
    When a redemption via the API connected to my community platform provider failed, the support was extremely limited. It was fast but limited. Most common conversations with Giftbit support ended in "unfortunately we cannot help you or your recipient with that issue." I'm not sure if Giftbit deserves 100% of the blame for API issues with Fuel Cycle community platform but the end result is that a user will redeem their points for a reward and would never get it. Once these issues are reported to me, I couldn't help them from the dashboard either as I was unable to review their claim codes, etc. and make it right, resulting in lost $.

    We have not had to contact support so there is nothing to say in response to this question. We are sure that if we needed to contact them we would be able to get any issues resolved quickly

    I haven't used any products like Giftbit. Since I have enjoyed my experience with Giftbit, I haven't looked into any other platforms that offer the same things.

    Soci is a lot better. It’s more user friendly and it makes better for one platform to have all my accounts on
