THE NATIONAL ROLLOUT

RedPaint is Launching in Your Area

Sixteen regions across South Africa have been designated for RedPaint’s national rollout.

When the first wave of users arrive after RedPaint launches intensive user-onboarding campaigns in a region, they must find real value and repeat usefulness on the app – places to visit, great deals, events, activities, and rewards.

This presents businesses with a limited window of opportunity to benefit from exclusive Early Vendor advantages (see details below), and be prepared when RedPaint launches its user onboarding campaigns in their region.

Each region therefore follows a simple 3-phase rollout designed to give users a strong first experience, while giving Early Vendors a significant launch advantage.

 

The 3 Launch Phases

1. OPEN (Open Phase): Early Vendors create local value.

Businesses are now taking up the limited Early Vendor Seats available in their region, preparing their profiles and creating value by publishing Special Offers, Events, Activities and Rewards - at no cost.

We have just launched - check out your region's Early Vendor Benchmark status. Sign up today to claim your Early Vendor seat.

As an Early Vendor you are encouraged to be prepared at all time by offering at least:

  • 2 Special Offers
  • 1 Event or Activity
  • 1 Reward

This is the Early Vendor qualifying criteria, and ensures your business is not only listed when new users arrive, but ready to be discovered, followed, shared, and acted on from day one.

Early Vendors will also be kept informed about regional progress, helping them prepare for the initial wave of users coming onboard.


2. User-Onboarding Phase: Regional campaigns begin

The Early Vendor opportunity closes and RedPaint begins focused user-onboarding campaigns.

As soon as the Early Vendor seats in a region are filled, the Early Vendor opportunity closes and RedPaint start pushing user-onboarding campaigns to reach the minimum User-Onboarding Benchmark for that region. These campaigns are driven by a proven user-onboarding strategy developed and refined through previous regional test campaigns, which successfully onboarded more than 250 users in a targeted area within just five days.

Businesses may still join RedPaint, but the limited Early Vendor benefits are no longer available to those businesses.

This is when consumers are actively engaged to download RedPaint and explore participating businesses nearby. During all this time Early Vendors benefit because their profiles are already discoverable - and they can promote their offers, events,  activities, and rewards for free when users arrive.

RedPaint’s focused user-onboarding activities involve:

  • Promotional campaigns
  • Social media campaigns
  • Influencer activity
  • Local marketing initiatives
  • Vendor QR-code participation
  • Vendor customer, contact, and follower invitations

During this phase, Early Vendors enjoy free marketing through RedPaint while users are actively being onboarded in their region.

Early Vendors will receive regular updates about their region’s progress toward the User-Onboarding Benchmark.


3. Closed Phase: The User-Onboarding Benchmark is reached

Once a region reaches its minimum User-Onboarding Benchmark, the launch phase for that region is formally closed.

At this point, the Early Vendor benefits close for that region, and qualifying Early Vendors continue with a permanent 50% discount on applicable RedPaint rates.

This rewards businesses that joined early, helped create local value, and supported the regional launch before RedPaint opened wider user activity in that area.

Also, the region's winner of the 2 YEARS FREE ADVERTISING is selected and announced.

 

EARLY VENDOR BENEFITS

During the Open and User-Onboarding phases, Early Vendors receive full access to RedPaint’s marketing tools with no restrictions and no platform charges.

Early Vendors can immediately benefit from:

  • Free publishing of promotions, Special Offers, Events, Activities, and Rewards
  • Free Push Notification campaigns during the regional launch phases
  • 3,000 free credits
  • The ability to invite existing customers, contacts, and followers using the in-app “Share My Profile” button
  • Early exposure before the region becomes more competitive

When the Closed Phase in a region has been reached, qualifying Early Vendors receive a permanent 50% discount on RedPaint’s applicable rates.
 

START USING REDPAINT IMMEDIATELY:

Early Vendors do not have to wait for RedPaint’s User-Onboarding Phase to start building momentum.

By using the in-app “Share My Profile” button, you can immediately begin inviting your existing customers, contacts, and followers to your RedPaint profile by sharing it through WhatsApp, email, social media, or any other platform. When they join, you have direct access to them through push notification campaigns - totally free.

This can be done in just a few clicks.

    How to Create a Special Offer Campaign on RedPaint

    Creating a Special Offer campaign on RedPaint is quick and easy. It happens in two simple stages.

    1- Create and submit your Special Offer for moderation. You will receive the moderation outcome by email and Push Notification. Approval normally takes under 2 hours.

    2- Once approved, you can either publish your special for free on your vendor profile or promote it through an Instant Boost or Scheduled Boost campaign.

    Step-by-Step Guide
    RedPaint's workflow is quick and easy to follow without any instruction. Nonetheless, we have prepared a detailed guide to help you create and publish your first Special Offer campaign with confidence.

    Please see the attached guide (it only looks complicated, but is actually very straight forward):

    RedPaint_Special_Offer_Campaign_Guide.pdf

  • Creating an Event/Activity Campaign

    Creating and running Events/Activity campaigns is very similar to creating a Special Offer.

    From your Dashboard, go to: Campaigns & Reports -> Create a New Event
    Then follow the easy steps to create and submit your Event/Activity for moderation. Once approved, from your Dashboard go to: Campaign & Reports -> Run a Campaign -> Events.

    Then, choose an Event/Activity from the list of approved Events/Activities and follow the easy steps to either Free Publish it, or to run an Instant Boost or Scheduled Boost campaign.

  • Manage Your Rewards Program

    A UNIQUE REWARDS PROGRAM THAT WORKS FOR BOTH VENDORS AND USERS
    RedPaint’s Rewards Program is designed to help businesses increase campaign reach, attract customer visits, and encourage purchases - without requiring users to spend money before they can start earning loyalty points.

    Users earn loyalty points by sharing participating vendors’ Specials, Events, Activities, Rewards, and other content with their own contacts. When someone engages with the shared content, the user can earn points that accumulate towards rewards offered by the vendor.

    Once a user has earned enough points, they can redeem an available reward at the vendor’s place of business when making a purchase. This gives vendors a powerful double benefit: customers help expand the business’s reach through word-of-mouth sharing, while the rewards encourage them to visit, make a purchase, and engage with the business directly.

    Vendors remain fully in control of their own rewards. From the Vendor Dashboard, you can quickly:

    • Create and publish rewards for free.
    • Decide what each reward includes.
    • Set the number of loyalty points required to redeem it.
    • Add any applicable conditions.
    • Pause, update, or remove rewards when necessary.
    • RedPaint also provides clear redemption reports, allowing vendors to view reward activity and reconcile redeemed items against their stock, services, or internal records.

    Publishing a reward is free. Vendors choose what to offer - such as a product, service, discount, or free entry - and set the loyalty points required to claim it. RedPaint tracks users’ point balances and deducts the points when a reward is redeemed.

  • Earn as a Moderator

    Interested in Earning Income on RedPaint?

    After signing up as a RedPaint user, you can apply to become a moderator for free.

    As a moderator, you can earn money by reviewing vendor content before it is published on RedPaint. Moderation tasks are sent to you by Push Notification, and the entire review process is completed quickly and easily from within the RedPaint app. You can do this directly from your phone, spending as little as 15–30 minutes per day, depending on the amount of content available for moderation.

    You can also increase your earning potential by inviting businesses to join RedPaint from within the app. When a business you invited joins RedPaint, that business is assigned to your moderator account. Their content may then be sent to you for moderation, giving you the opportunity to earn 7% of that vendor’s RedPaint spend.

    To learn more or apply, tap the BECOME A MODERATOR button at the bottom of your in-app menu.
