The Komo Engagement Engine offers a suite of digital products that revolutionise the traditional shopping experience, elevating the digital connection between shops and consumers and driving customers back into brick-and-mortar stores. Here are our top tips for growing your customer base and encouraging repeat visitors to your shopping centre using the Komo Engagement Engine.

​
Promotion, Promotion, Promotion!

Regular promotion is critical to keeping your centre and retailers front of mind with your audience. Physically: Utilise posters, floor and/or window decals, POS table talkers etc., to ensure your shoppers are aware of your Engagement Hub and that it is your centre’s one-stop-shop for exclusive content, games and competitions. Digitally: Share your Engagement Hub and its content across your socials, promote or boost posts highlighting the content you’re adding to your Engagement Hub, and use user-generated content from your various Content Cards to drive new users to your Engagement Hub.

​
Placement

Utilise the reach of social media to link to your Engagement Hub from as many touchpoints as possible.
Replace any pre-existing links in your Instagram bio with your Engagement Hub link. You can add any current links to your Engagement Hub via Click Banners.

​
QR Codes

Distribute QR codes around your shopping centre to provide shoppers with an easier way to reach your Engagement Hub. Encourage retailers to place QR codes at your point of sale to increase their exposure.

​
Retailers are Key

The way your community responds to your Engagement Hub will be impacted by the uptake from your retailers. Make sure you get all of your retailers across the Engagement Hub, its purpose, how it will affect them, and encourage them to promote your Engagement Hub.
A good way to get your retailers on-side is to demonstrate how the product works and the value it will bring them. Consider hosting a Live Trivia Card for all of your retailers to get a better understanding of the Komo Engagement Engine and Digital Coupons.

​
Offer Prizes

It’s important to point out that prizes aren’t required for many activations; however, the more value you can offer to your community, the higher engagement you are likely to see.

​
Partnerships

Work with your retail partners to elevate your Engagement Hub by offering promotional space as a value add or as a space for them to offer prizes/incentives. Your Engagement Hub is a business asset to drive traffic, engage and understand your audience, and that data is a benefit to your retail partners as well.

​
Physical Activation Space

Use physical space within your shopping centre to create IRL activations that connect with the digital strategy in your Engagement Hub.

​
SMS Communications

We highly recommend utilising SMS communications to distribute prizes from your Engagement Hub. With SMS, prizes are sent directly to your shoppers and are more readily actioned.

​
Coupons & The FOMO Effect

Everyone loves a deal! Tap into the FOMO effect by phrasing your coupon promotion in a way that highlights scarcity, e.g. “We have 100 Hot Chips to give away! Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so get down early.” It is highly rare that a coupon program receives a 100% redemption rate. To increase your redemption rate, send the offer to way more people than you have coupons for. In the above example, send the offer for 100 coupons to your full database to drive people in-centre and raise redemption rates.
