Running a business is hard enough without spending hours on marketing. Everything in Flaer, from sign-up to results, is designed to require as little effort from you as possible.
Getting started takes a few minutes. Sign up on the Flaer web dashboard or our iOS app with your email and password. Then add your business name, business type, business address, and a photo of your business. Your address places you on the Flaer map so nearby customers can find you and start promoting you on Instagram.
Before your business appears on the Flaer map, you need to purchase at least $20 in credits. This ensures that every business on Flaer is ready to reward customers and keeps the platform free from spam. Purchasing credits takes seconds and we use Stripe to handle all payments securely. Flaer never sees or stores your payment details.
People browsing the Flaer map can see your business and an estimate of how much they could earn by sharing it. This motivates them to visit and spend money, whether that's buying a meal or paying for a membership. On top of that, they share your business on Instagram with their followers. So you don't just get a new customer, you get that customer promoting you to their friends.
Flaer is not just for new customers. You can generate and print a leaflet directly from your dashboard or the iOS app. Each leaflet includes your unique referral code so your regular customers can scan it, sign up for Flaer, and start earning rewards by posting about your business. People who already love what you do are your best marketers. Now they have a reason to share it.
Traditional ads interrupt people. A post from someone you follow is something you actually look at. That difference matters for local businesses.
A recommendation from a friend beats any ad. When your customers post about your business on Instagram, their followers see a genuine recommendation from someone they trust. And since most people's followers are friends, family, and locals, the audience seeing the post is exactly the kind that could walk through your door.
With Flaer, you never have to record an ad, write a caption, or manage a campaign. Your customers take photos like a picture of their meal, a gym selfie, a coffee shot, and share it with their followers. You get authentic promotion that feels natural, without spending any time on content creation or social media management.
Every Instagram post has a different value, and Flaer accounts for that. When a customer submits a post, Flaer analyzes data pulled directly from Instagram to calculate a reward that reflects the actual value of that post to your business.
From your dashboard, you can see every post a customer shares about your business, rate its quality, and report anything that doesn't meet your standards. Your ratings adjust the customer's score over time, so people who share good content earn better rewards. If someone posts something inappropriate, you can report it and the Flaer team will review it. If the report is valid, you don't pay for that post.
Flaer has different benefits depending on the type of business you run. See how it applies to yours.
