Calling all beauty lovers: Ulta Beauty is on Shopkick!

Posted on October 28, 2017 by shopkick

Now shopping for your favorite blush or finding the best shampoo is more rewarding and productive than ever. Treating yourself to rewards while shopping at any of the 1k+ Ulta Beauty locations across the country using Shopkick is as easy as one, two, three! Literally.

As if a trip to Ulta wasn’t enough of a treat, you can now earn kicks by scanning specific items in the aisles, shopping with a linked Visa or Mastercard and submitting receipts.

Here is how it works:

Step One: Scan

Scans are an easy way to earn rewards while you roam the aisles at Ulta learning more about the products you love. You can explore the hair aisle, get dizzy in the fragrance section, or check out some new must haves such as mascara or lip gloss, and get rewarded at the same time. Just scan the items on the Scans page to earn kicks! And don’t forget to earn additional kicks for completing all available scans in the store. It’s like getting a prize for breathing!

Step Two: Link Your Card

You can also make every Ulta beauty run rewarding by making purchases with a linked Visa or MasterCard. Every dollar spent brings in three kicks!

Step Three: Take a Picture

After picking up a new lipstick (or two or three) and that nail polish you’ve been wanting to try, earn additional rewards by uploading your receipt with kick-earning purchases to Shopkick. Simply take a photo of the printed receipt in the Receipts page and watch the kicks add up!

Shopkick named top app in ComScore’s 2017 Mobile App Report

Posted on August 28, 2017 by shopkick

ComScore released its annual US Mobile App Report that charts trends in the mobile app landscape. The report explores the dynamics of mobile media consumption, breaking down app usage and behavior by audience segments, and uncovering other insights to help advertisers and publishers take advantage of these trends.

One of the major takeaways from the report is that apps are dominating consumer’s digital media habits, with 57% of consumers’ time spent using digital media now taking place in mobile apps. Consumers are also fairly established in which apps they use, with most of their time concentrated in their top apps. 90% of mobile app time is spent in consumer’s top five apps, and 50% of time is in their top app.

With consumers’ time being concentrated in a small number of their favorite apps, it’s critical for marketers to understand where their target audience spends time in order to effectively reach and engage them.

While the most popular apps by time spent are predominantly Facebook and Google, a more nuanced look at the top indexing apps by age segment reveals social and entertainment affinity among younger adults, and news and retail affinity among older adults.

Shopkick is reported as one of the top apps for Gen Xers (35-54), the age segment that is most likely to download and use retail and shopping apps.

Shopkick was also identified as one of consumers’ top hidden gems, defined as “the one app that you love, but that you think is not widely known or not used by many people, but think it should be.”

Mobile shopping rewards users anytime, anywhere

Posted on August 2, 2017 by shopkick

Bill Demas, Chief Executive Officer

When I joined Shopkick as CEO a little over a year ago, one of my first goals was to craft a clear vision and set of values for the company. Our vision became “to create rewarding shopping experiences anytime, anywhere.” Today, I’m pleased to share with you our progress delivering two key elements of this: “rewarding” and “anytime, anywhere.”

The dictionary definition of rewarding is ‘giving satisfaction, pleasure or profit.’ I am proud we have done this for our users in a few ways:

Helping users earn gift cards and prizes for what they already do in store: In our history we have given our users more than $58 million of gift cards and prizes for things they already do: visiting their favorite stores, interacting with new and popular products (via scanning), and watching videos and exploring content within our app. Of course, we also offer a high number of kicks for buying those products as well. Personally, I have 20,000 kicks and can’t wait to earn free Beats headphones with 30,000 more!
Getting users on the move and socializing with friends: To my surprise, we have heard from many users the social aspects of what makes Shopkick special for them. This can be re-connecting with a significant other or friends on the weekend by Shopkicking through cities or malls in the suburbs. I love the story of Surbhi from San Francisco who was Shopkicking with a friend and ran into other people doing the same. According to her, they “laughed about it and it created a bond between [them],” and new friendships were born.
Helping our users’ favorite charity win a $50,000 donation from Shopkick: By doing exactly what they do every day – walking into stores, scanning product barcodes and buying product – users can help your favorite charity win the big prize. The charities are Adopt A Classroom, American Red Cross, Feeding America, National Breast Cancer Foundation and Room to Read.

To deliver on our ‘anytime, anywhere’ promise, we are excited to share several new features for our users:

Rewards “anytime, anywhere”: Today we launched a new mobile commerce offering that works with the following online merchants with more to come: Apple, Boxed, eBay, Groupon, Jet and Spring. Now Shopkickers can take the kick-earning actions they do in physical stores and translate them to online rewards from the comfort of their own homes! By visiting a mobile retail partner while at home – the digital version of walking into a store – users will earn kicks. By browsing mobile offers and products – just like scanning a product in-store – users will earn kicks. And by purchasing online, like they would do in a store, our users will earn kicks, all redeemable for those gift cards and prizes!

More gift cards and prizes, including Amazon: Our users have told us that their number one gift card addition is Amazon. You can now redeem your kicks to earn Amazon gift cards in denominations of $5, $10 and $25. We will also be adding Crocs and several other reward partners in the coming months.

As you can see, we are relentlessly focused on “creating rewarding shopping experiences anytime, anywhere.” If you have more ideas or any feedback for me – and I will read it all – please don’t hesitate to reach me at ceo@shopkick.com.

In my next post, I’ll discuss our primary company value: putting our users first and obsessing about their experience. Until next time, enjoy your summer and happy Shopkicking!
