Why Sohālo?

Activate Your Social Hālo

Sohālo is a technology platform that rewards customers for promoting your brand. Our product integrates with any platform, language, currency and network.

We build the Social Hālo that surrounds your business and expand it through targeted Offers and actionable social metrics. The Social Hālo is the sphere of influence that creates awareness for your brand through social media.

Product

People Commerce

People Commerce puts your customer back at the center of the business cycle:

On one side, your customer uses his Social Hālo to expand yours and earns rewards. He shares content about your products with his friends through social media and earns rewards of real monetary value, such as coupons and discounts, in exchange for his hard work.

On the other side, he uses his rewards on your products and earns satisfaction. Your customer spends his earned rewards to buy your products. He feels gratified to get exclusive pricing and is encouraged to keep promoting your brand.

People Commerce benefits both your brand and your customers within each transaction, creating a more authentic experience for all. Leverage the power of People Commerce through Sohālo’s Offers Platform.

Offers Platform

Sohālo provides you with the technology to create, manage and distribute Offers. An Offer is a social action completed across any social channel for a reward of real monetary value.

Sohālo keeps your content fresh and engaging with more than 30 Offer types and thousands of compound Offers. Offers are engineered to hold your customer's interest and motivate them to come back for more. New rewards and gaming mechanisms encourage loyalty while your brand benefits from the virality and power of trusted word-of-mouth.

How an Offer Works:

A User Takes an Action

Choose the social action(s) your users should perform to complete the Offer. It can be a post, tweet, picture, poll, like, check-in, referral, or a customized action.
On Any Network or App

Target Offers to users by gender, age range, country, city and language. Monitor results and retarget new Offers based on data analysis and performance.
For a Reward of Real Value

Choose how to reward your customers with loyalty points, currencies, badges, levels or coupons. Get complete account balance history and reporting.

Our turn-key platform includes an elegant dashboard displaying in-depth and real-time analytics. See the performance of your Offers ranging from granular customer details all the way up to high level analyses.

Our Offer Pricing Engine adjusts to your success. Pricing & ROI are dynamic, tracked and measured in real-time. As more accounts enroll in the program and engage in more Offers, the cost per Offer declines. Learn more >>

Sohālo’s team of mathematicians have developed an elaborate system that tracks the cost and gain of each Offer. This secret formula finally makes it possible to deliver a real number for Social Media ROI.

Pricing

Our pricing model is designed to adapt to your budget and minimize upfront deployment costs. The more Offers your customers complete over time, the lower the cost. As a result, your overall Return On Investment is optimized over the lifespan of your program.
