Your Offers

While your brand is who and what you are as a company, offers are what you provide to your customers and clients, even your audience.

Understanding Offers

NewLIST is very flexible in giving you the tools to create a profile for what you offer. You can be as brief or as detailed as you like with your offers from simply using offers to link to your main website, or use the offer profile as the sole mini site of what your brand offers. It's up to you.

NewLIST divides offers into different types just to make it easier to show you which information we need to collect to help show your offers to the public in the very best lgiht possible.

Creating A New Offer

Offer Types

When you first enter the Offers area, you'll see an empty table list. You'll need to create your first offer. Just click the Add New Offer button to bring up the Add New Offer wizard.

Selecting the Offer Type will auto disable tabs you won't need.

General — If your particular kind of offer doesn't really fit the other types, you can just choose general and populate whichever fields are relevant to what it is you offer.

Product — If your offer is a physical product, like custom t-shirts for instance, you should choose this option.

Service — If you offer a service, like local appliance repair, or book cover design, something that doesn't rinvolve a physical product, you can choose this option.

Location — NewLIST is able to limit the showing of offers within specific geographic locations. Use this offer type if you have a retail location, business office, repair facility, showroom, or other place of business with a full street address. 

Geographic Location — Some businesses offer their services within certain areas where the street address is really not all that necessary. Use this option if your brand or business operates within a general area, like a particular city. Newlist assumes a 50-mile radius of operation for offers with a geographic location.

If you signed up as an Influencer, you'll also see the following options:

Influencer — Choose Influencer if your primary role is an influencer.

Content Creator — If you are a pod caster or other kind of content creator, you can select this option.

Social Media Group — If what you offer is primarily a social media group, you can select this option.

Offer Details

Offer Name

Enter your offer's formal name; this is typically the internal name of the product or service. This field is required. 

Offer Display Name

If you want to add a shorten or more common name for your product or service, the Offer Display Name will be shown instead.

Offer Code

An offer code is generally your internal reference code of the product or service. Offer codes are wher you can list a product SKU or UPC, service number, a book's ISBN, or anything that uniquely identifies this product or service within your catalog. It's essentially there for quick searching of large offer catalogs on NewLIST.

Store Number

For locations, NewLIST allows you to add a store number. It can be very helpful in finding location offers within the table list.

Offer URL

The Offer URL is a unique branded name you use to help people find your offer profile on NewLIST. Just below your Offer URL, you'll see the full offer link that you can copy and use to bring people to your offer profile page on NewLIST. Keep in mind that you may want to brand this url with something like: .../brandname-store-123. This field is required.

Visitble on Profile

Sometimes you may be only partially done with building a new Offer and you don't want it to show up on your Brand profile just yet. Maybe this is a limited time offer that you only want peope to see for a week or a month. You can turn off this offer, making it invisible by switching the selector to "hide". Even though the offer is not visible on the Brand profile, you can still directly link to it on NewLIST.

Status

This is the same at the play and pause icons you see on the listing table. An "active' offer is "playing" whule an "inactive" offer is "paused". Paused offers are essentially disabled and will not show on the NewLIST platform even if you direct link to their profile page.
