See every featureFanboard makes it easy to collect authentic customer videos in exchange for discount codes (which are automatically generated and sent). Use these videos in your ads, emails, social posts, and on your website. Build trust, engage your audience, and keep your content fresh. Set up your Fanboard page in minutes and turn your customers into content creators — on autopilot.
Social Place turns your store into a gathering place for your customers. Instead of building an audience on social networks you don't own, host the conversation on your own site: customers create posts, comment, react, vote in polls, and share photos or videos in a forum that matches your theme.

- Set prompts so customers know exactly what videos to submit.
- Discount codes are automatically generated and emailed to customers.
- Secure full usage rights for every accepted submission.
- Community forum embedded in your storefront and matching your theme
- Posts, comments, reactions, polls, photo and video sharing
- Badges and member roles, assigned automatically based on purchases
- Private community option: restrict access to members or buyers of a product
