Wikets, JunoWallet and PickPointz Join Growing Trend of “Social Commerce” Rewards Programs

We have only scratched the surface in functionality of smartphones and the level of interaction available. Everyday new apps are developed that simplify our lives and give us more power to manage various aspects on our iPhone or Android devices.  A new sector that has gained traction is “social commerce,” apps that allow consumers to earn real rewards due to their online habits related to shopping and merchandise.  Wikets allow consumers to recommend products on its app and then share those recommendations, while JunoWallet rewards users for completing various tasks and being active and engaged on the app. 

As companies try to cut through the clutter, new “social commerce” apps have been developed to help companies spotlight their merchandise.  Apps such as Wikets and JunoWallet offer integration between a consumer’s existing habits and connect consumers to companies in unique ways, including through rewards. 

Wikets focus on consumers recommending and buying products on the Wikets app, available only on iTunes.  When consumers recommend products or buy products through the app, they can earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards from merchants. In addition, people may share their recommendation socially across Facebook or Twitter, or use the Wikets app to search for others’ recommended products.  

JunoWallet focuses specifically on user engagement within the app, rewarding users when they perform certain tasks, such as inviting their friends, watching videos and engaging with other content on the JunoWallet app. In return, users earn JunoCredits that can be redeemed for gift cards from partners and used to shop online. 

Both the Wikets and JunoWallet apps offer a number of partners the opportunity to reach consumers in a different way.  The apps open up new possibilities for companies and brands to engage with fans in new ways. Wikets’ and JunoWallet’s partners are integrated within the apps and the “social commerce” model allows a boost in gift card purchases.

Wikets and JunoWallet are a part of a growing trend of apps that give brands new platforms for interaction with consumers, based on rewards programs for users’ online/in-app behavior.  A pioneer in the space of rewards programs is PickPointz, in which fans can make predictions on scores and stats throughout professional and college sports games, with correct predictions being rewarded in the form of real-value points redeemable for gift cards, sports memorabilia and merchandise. Pickpoints focuses on giving sports fans the unique experience of engaging during games and making picks based on real-time information.  In addition, the experience is in their hands as they dictate how many times they engage with PickPointz during a game.

The development of Wikets, JunoWallet and PickPointz speaks to the growing mobile app industry that is creating fun, exciting and rewarding ways for people to use their smartphones for both fun and functional purposes.
