Giftbit vs. Zinrelo

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

Zinrelo is the perfect platform to reward frequent buyers, achieve larger AOV’s, and encourage your customers to become your marketing team. Because Zinrelo was not appropriate for our B2B relationships, direct integration with our e-commerce platforms would have allowed us to restrict its use to only eligible customers via the e-commerce customer type.

Incentivized

• Sending mass brand-templated gift cards
• Choosing which type of gift card you want (e.g. Starbucks, Amazon)
• Showing metrics for gift cards

Incentivized

• Customer service is fantastic.
• They are always asking for feedback, so that they can understand what is working well for us, and what isn't working well.
• They are pro-active and frequently offer suggestions to us, for promotions that they think would be worthwhile, and help us to keep shoppers coming back.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Though perfectly functional, Zinrelo’s interface seems slightly dated and could use a visual update.
• Zinrelo should develop direct integrations with BigCommerce and NetSuite, so all Zinrelo account management can be handled within those platforms.
• Zinrelo should allow for custom reasons for the addition of points. Sometimes the the established reasons do not address the situation, and the flexibility to add custom reasons with reduce or eliminate the need to add notes to transactions.

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 $.

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.

We also looked at SweetTooth, prior to choosing Zinrelo. Zinrelo had a much smoother integration with our Netsuite System, however.

Incentivized

• We now have an easy way to do these fulfillments
• It's easy to set up an account
• It alleviates privacy issues on our end

Incentivized

• Increased customer retention.
• Increased average order value.
