Giftbit vs. Tremendous

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

Tremendous is well suited for businesses giving gift cards to employees as a reward or to research participants as thanks/compensation for their time. It's not like a cash sharing software between friends. It is also best for relatively small amounts of money because the sender runs the risk of sending the reward to the wrong email

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

• Email and landing page templates easy to create
• Wide variety of gift card options
• Easy to upload recipient lists and distribute
• No fee for most gift card options

Incentivized

• 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

• We do not have insight into whether a customer has redeemed a reward or not
• Unredeemed rewards kind of go into a void, we cannot get funds back for unclaimed rewards

They have a lot of rules around spending. You cannot use the card for funds that are greater than the amount you want to spend and do a split payment transaction. This makes it virtually impossible to use all of the funds on the card

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.

Tremendous allowed us for more customization to the email and landing page, Rybbon had their own branding on the email and page which was something we did not want. One of the main selling points for us with Tremendous was the ability to use our own firm's email domain. This allowed us to send an email coming from our firm, so our clients and prospects recognized the domain.

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

• The fact that it's free to use means Tremendous has had a very positive ROI on our research operations. We've gained much and lost nothing.
