How to Grow Your Follower Base
How to Grow Your Follower Base
Learn and understand how to grow your follower base within the Repegs App.
Repegs now offers powerful tools to help you connect with customers, drive repeat visits, and grow your following.
Here’s how to make them work for you:
What’s New?
1. Automatic Followers
Repeat customers who pay with the Repegs App now automatically follow your business. More followers = more people to market to and notify directly.
Example:
A regular who buys lunch from you twice a week will now automatically follow you when they pay with the app—giving you a direct line to their personal device, in-app inbox and homepage.
More transactions = more followers = more people to market to.
2. Notifications & Homepage Posts
Followers see your posts on their homepage, keeping your business visible.
Send timely push notifications for updates, offers, or events to their devices and inboxes.
Followers also get notified whenever you create a new offer.
Whether it’s a flash sale or today’s special, your followers will know about it.
Example:
“50% off pastries today only—stop by before we sell out!”
If you’re not posting, you’re not showing up on the homepage—and you’ll miss out on valuable visibility.
3. Shareable Content
Your posts and profile are now shareable externally, helping you attract new customers.
Bonus (Coming soon!):
Earn $5 for every new customer who signs up and transacts through shared links to your posts or profile.
Why These Features Matter
These tools make it easy to:
✅ Stay visible with regular posts on followers’ homepages.
✅ Build your audience with automatic followers.
✅ Boost engagement with timely updates and offers.
✅ Drive buzz and reach new customers through sharing and referrals.
The more you post, share, and engage, the more your business grows.
How to Maximize These Features
1. Keep Your Profile Fresh
Post at least twice a week to keep followers engaged and attract new ones with fresh content.
If you’re not posting, followers will see content from other businesses they follow instead…
2. Convert Every Customer into a Follower
Encourage in-store customers to pay with Repegs: It triggers an automatic following when they come back!
Use signage or staff suggestions:
Example:
“Follow us on Repegs for exclusive offers!”
Example:
Train staff to explain how customers can sign up and enjoy discounts, creating a great experience that encourages loyalty and repeat visits. (You'll also receive $5 if they use your referrer QR code and once they transact!)
Regular customers become followers, and followers = more people you can notify instantly.
3. Incentivize Repeat Visits
Run frequent, high-value promotions to encourage visits and gain followers:
“Flash Sale: 20% off baked goods today!”
“$5 Acai Bowls every Wednesday this month.”
Set expiries to keep offers fresh and urgent.
Offer a consistent, running discount in addition to unique, one-off offers so customers have more opportunity to visit more frequently.
Frequent visits = automatic followers (and loyalty) = more direct reach for your business.
4. Leverage Push Notifications
Push notifications are your direct line to customers. Use them for:
Limited-time offers: “50% off pizzas tonight only!”
Important updates: “New menu items just dropped—come try them today!”
Events: “Join us Friday for Locals Night—live music and specials + 25% OFF!”
Notifications grab attention, encourage action, and keep your business at the centre of a customer's plans.
5. Encourage Sharing
Post valuable content your customers want to share onwards.
Highlight offers like “See our latest deals on Repegs!” to attract new customers.
Share your own posts and business profile externally:
Add links to your Instagram bio, newsletters, or website or any other external marketing channels.
Every share increases your reach and brings in new customers.
