Rymera Advanced Coupons vs. ShoutOUT

If you are running WooCommerce and you want a flexible coupon app this is a good one.

If you are mainly using Instagram influencers to promote your business, ShoutOUT works excellent for that. Most of those influencers aren't very tech-savvy, so giving them a coupon code to track their sales and commission them off of that seems to work well. The mass payout feature is pretty simple to use as well, but I wish that you didn't have to do it on a 1-on-1 basis.

• BOGOs.
• Free shipping coupons.
• Rewarding first-time or recent order customer.

• Great for simple, not very tech-savvy influencers or affiliates.
• Ties in seamlessly to Shopify Plus, which is a must for our organization.
• Simple dashboard, easy to manage affiliates.

Incentivized

• Haven't found any yet.

• Not a vast network of affiliates to choose from if you need them to facilitate that side of your business.
• Sometimes the tracking by coupon code doesn't seem to work correctly, and the numbers don't match up with what we see on the backend of our Shopify numbers.
• Could make it easier to add creatives and deep linking for affiliates.

It works perfectly for what we need it to do. It is very inexpensive, works well, and makes it easy for us to navigate and use. We can easily add new affiliates and create coupons for them to track their sales. For the influencers that are a little more inclined to post product links and go the more traditional affiliate approach, we can certainly provide that option for them and go that route as well. We like the ease and simplicity.

We only had to use it once, but they got back to us very quickly and helped us solve the issue that we had. So, ShoutOUT support is batting 1000% in our book, but that is only 1 out of 1 and may not be enough of a sample size to verify that they are as good as we think.

Smart Coupon didn't handle BOGOs as well. It also didn't have an option to track sales within a # of hours.

We used Shareasale and Commission Junction in the, and they are awesome to manage your traditional affiliates that run blogs or email campaigns. We would still be using those if we did more of a traditional approach to influencers. But since we moved over to a more influencer based marketing approach, ShoutOut is fantastic and has made it simpler for us and our affiliates.

Incentivized

• We are still new at using this but I expect this to pay for itself many times over.

• Very positive right off the bat because we dropped our Commission Junction expenses and got most of our bigger affiliates to switch over to keep their sales.
• Easy to use and much simpler for our affiliate manager to do her work.
