See How Easy It Is to Create a Gated Offer
Gated Offers Create Emotional Bonds That Drive CLV
When you give a gated offer to a group like students or teachers, you reward the communities they belong to, which makes them feel special and drives them to buy from you, again and again. Research shows that 67% of consumers would use a gated offer to try a new brand, and 70% of consumers are more loyal to brands that give them a gated offer.
This exchange with consumers is called identity marketing, and you can use it to engage hundreds of communities united by identity attributes like their profession or life stage.
Run Campaigns that Deliver High ROI
Drive 3x Conversions
Gated offers verified by SheerID see 3x higher conversions than average marketing campaigns.
Create Viral Offers
8 in 10 consumers would share a gated offer with other members of their community.
Protect Your Margins
Verifying eligibility for a gated offer keeps it exclusive and prevents discount abuse.
