Building a fan club on social

Shopkick teamed up with Scrollmark to create a social fan club program that would reward their most engaged followers and turn casual users into loyal brand advocates.

The social fan club program was designed to make their followers feel special and keep them coming back for more. Once set, the social fan club program would run on autopilot to:

Spot when users engage with their content through comments, mentions, or tags
Welcome new fan club members with a friendly, on-brand message
Track engagement and reward users at every milestone
Keep everything organized and spam-free with smart automation rules

Powering the social engagement flywheel

The result was a self-reinforcing cycle where fan club members achieved a median engagement score of 30 points, compared to just 10 points for non-participants - a 3X increase.

Users engage with Shopkick's content through comments, mentions, and tags, instantly receiving automated rewards and points that acknowledge their fan club membership. This recognition sparks repeated interactions and earning points adds a gamified element that turns casual engagement into a habit.

The data proved the flywheel's effectiveness and the program created a clear shift toward higher engagement, with 66.6% of fan club members maintaining medium-to-high engagement levels compared to 11% for non-participants - an 5x increase.
