Week 2: Expand Your Merchant Network
This week is all about building momentum by adding more merchants to your Community Card program.
After Week 1, you should have a small group of key influencer merchants onboard. Your Community Card webpage should now be live with your customized branding, images, and a map showing participating businesses. This gives you a strong foundation to recruit even more merchants.
Your goal this week is to add 10 or more additional merchants.
Why This Matters
A strong lineup of local businesses is critical to the success of your Community Card. The more places recipients can spend their cards, the more appealing and valuable the program becomes for the entire community.
Your Community Card webpage is now one of your best recruiting tools. Use it to show merchants how they’ll be featured and promoted as part of the program.
Use the Merchant Webinar as an Incentive
Your merchant webinar should be scheduled with your Community Engagement Manager for next week or the following week.
Use this webinar as an incentive to encourage merchants to onboard now. Merchants who join will:
Learn how the Community Card works
Get their questions answered live
Understand how participation benefits their business
Yiftee will run the webinar and handle merchant questions directly.
Encourage Merchants to Join Before Launch
Merchants can continue to onboard even after launch, but this week is a great time to emphasize one key benefit:
merchants who are live at launch will be featured from day one, which provides extra visibility and promotion for their business.
To support your outreach, we’ve included:
Explanatory videos
Merchant recruiting tools you can share directly
These resources help clearly communicate the value of joining and what merchants should expect.
Order Your In-Store Marketing Kit
This week, be sure to order your In-Store Marketing Kit.
Yiftee will design the kit for you at no cost. You have two options:
Print locally, or
Have Yiftee print and ship the materials for $600, which covers printing and postage
Delivery takes approximately two weeks, so ordering now ensures your materials arrive in time for launch.
