Extra Exposure: How to Feature Your Brand to The Hive’s Facebook Subscribers

Want to get your shop featured in front of our most engaged shoppers? the Hive’s Facebook Subscriber base consists of dedicated Kiwi buyers ready to discover local products. This guide explains how vendors can leverage extra exposure opportunities to boost sales, launch products, and build brand recognition.

For a complete breakdown of how the subscription model operates, please read our Facebook Subscriptions: What They Are, How They Work, and Vendor Benefits guide.

How Vendors Can Utilize Extra Exposure

1. Weekly Spot Sales & Featured Discounts
  • Offer a temporary discount or limited-time deal on selected products. These spot sales are featured directly in the Hive’s Facebook Subscriber Hub to encourage impulse buys and immediate store visits. To get more subscribers, we do regularly mention to the public what they COULD be getting if they are a subscriber.
2. Product Giveaways & Sample Features
  • Participating in our giveaway runs (such as our 14-week Christmas giveaway campaign) gives your brand direct visibility. When you supply a giveaway prize or sample, your business name, product photos, and store link are highlighted to all subscribers as well as the public in an effort to get people to subscribe to win.
3. Early Access & Product Launches
  • Launching a new item or collection? Offer The Hive NZ subscribers exclusive early access before the listing goes public. This generates early sales momentum and rewards our VIP community.
4. Free Gift with Purchase or Special Promos
  • Provide a gift-with-purchase or offer temporary perks like free shipping codes for subscribers to stand out in weekly promotional posts.
