Rewards & Loyalty program, Wishlist function, Reviews function + many more business matters are all solved by using Growave
  • Customer Service
  • Innovative App
  • Competitive offer with other uses
  • Consider making some of the Enterprise only features available to Growth. Specifically, ability to offer products in exchange for points! I would like to give my best customer the opportunity to earn really cool corporate swag. For example, Collect 100 S'Miles (points) in exchange to WhiteBrights leather book bag. Also, Klaviyo integration. That should not be an Enterprise level feature?
After an exhaustive search, I was excited to choose Growave for my biz rewards & loyalty program, the Smile High Clubâ„¢. The app is very customizeable so has checked off every requirement as far as our branding style guide goes. The greatest thing about Growave is its people. They are so kind, patient & know their stuff!! They always have an answer for me.
  • Enable us to grow our list of customers
  • Allow us to engage with our customers in a unique way
  • Provides a unique differentiator for us
Smile.io was not very customizable. The customer service was not very friendly or helpful.

I use it for my online store, JestPaint.com to reward my customers, collect reviews, and interact with them by answering product questions. It also allows my customers to post pictures on their reviews.
  • Rewards for purchases and other actions.
  • Collect reviews and Q&A.
  • Excellent customer service.
  • Show products added to Wishlist's.
  • None really
This is great software for any company looking to reward their customers for actions taken on their site, to collect great reviews, and to interact with customers in the form of product Q&A.
  • Very positive. Thousands of customers have left amazing reviews and used their rewards.
I have not used any other before because this one was great from the get go.

CEO of the company mainly, which is also in charge of customer retention and customer experience along with customer service in general.

Just the CEO which has some knowledge on the app and can always reach out to their support staff which is very helpful and responsive.
  • Getting reviews from customers
  • Rewarding customers with gift cards
  • Creating a Q&A section so customers interact with us on the product page
  • The Q&A section as a selling opportunity was new to us
  • Rewarding customers for their birthday has created some good feedback
  • User generated content in the forms of reviews with pictures has been great
  • Creating a VIP program
Because it has been a very useful app, easy to use, filled with great options and a terrific customer service.

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Features was the main thing, they really offer about everything you need to create a good customer experience and get customers interacting with you and your site.
I would not.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
Nothing really, we were not using any other app and our employees needed no training on it as I am in charge of it.
  • Layout and design
It was easy to do and their support team helped when needed.
The most amazing customer service I have ever received!
No need to do that.

When my wishlist page was not working due to changes I made on my theme, in less than 2 hours it was working again!

Growave is a multifaceted consumer retention APP, that is truly difficult to appreciate until you begin to isolate the APP in its parts. Many aspects of the APP may seem superfluous at the time, but when trying to seek out APPs that may be similar in nature and assemble them all separately into something similar to the Growave APP. It is at this point you begin to realize that Growave is truly the Swiss Army Knife of consumer retention add ons.
  • Dynamic and easy to onboard with your e-commerce site.
  • Multi-Faceted
  • Exceptional customer service both in technical integration and promotion assistance.
  • It will be nice in the future to see a customizable all-in-one design module for a dynamic portal page for the customer accounts. Currently, the pages work fabulous, just with added customization, it will assist with future branding impressions.
With the number of features that accompany the Growave App, it is probably one of the best and fastest ways to launch a dynamic e-commerce site.
  • Consumers truly enjoy the loyalty point program.
  • The App makes it very fluid for easy log in's by the consumer.
  • E-mail Notifications and retention programs are effective.

Growave is an app from Shopify that provides a lot of solutions in one, convenient location. It was used by the marketing department to set up a lot of our website's functionality, including Instagram galleries, loyalty and rewards, wishlists (especially during the holiday shopping season), social login, and comments/questions. We were able to automate a lot of the process and this single app saved us so much time in set up. Before, we were using multiple apps that didn't always agree with each other. With Growave, we were able to install one app that worked for everything we needed!
  • They worked with us to style our wishlists so that they worked with our existing web design.
  • Automated emails reminded people to come back to their wishlists, like when there was a sale or discount.
  • Reviews need to be more robust so that it can compete with Smile.io and Yotpo features.
  • Social login seems to have limited choices for social platforms that allow sign in.
Growave is the best option for the price and it allows you to keep all your data in one place. Wishlist emails and loyalty/rewards emails are all in the same place, so you know how often people are being notified about your site. Growave doesn't really seem to work with certain website stylings, so if you have a highly styled website, it may not be the best option. We had to work with Growave a lot to get the styles of the modules to match our site.
  • Huge savings from consolidating the different apps into one platform.
  • Wishlists boosted our sales by a significant amount (don't remember the exact number).
Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words (important for children's toy company). However, Yotpo carries a much higher price tag.
They are super attentive and will work with you to make sure that Growave is properly integrated on your site. I had a few conversations with them. They always had prompt replies and they helped to create some custom solutions so that their modules matched the style of our website. It was overall a really great experience working with them.
