# Loyalty that turns customers into a movement.

Outdoor brands run on belonging, not discounts. Joy rewards the adventure photos, referrals, and reviews your customers already post, turning first-time gear buyers into advocates who recruit the whole community.

## Built for brands that sell a lifestyle, not just gear.

From social rewards to omnichannel points, Joy fits how outdoor communities actually shop and share.

### Reward every adventure post

Joy detects Instagram story mentions, comments, and follows automatically, so every gear shot and trail photo your community shares earns points without manual tracking.

### Tiers tied to activity level

Build VIP tiers that reward your most active members, with earning and redemption rules by customer, order, product, and collection.

### One balance online and in-store

Shopify POS gives gear shops a single point balance across channels, so members earn and redeem the same whether they browse online or gear up at your counter.

### A membership club for enthusiasts

Launch a paid membership so your core community pays for perks, from early access to member pricing, all styled in your brand.

## Best-in-class loyalty, ready for any brand

Joy gives sports and outdoor brands a best-in-class loyalty program that speaks your brand — points, VIP tiers, referrals, memberships, and social rewards in one platform designed by your rules. Reward the adventure photos, reviews, and referrals that build your community, and carry one point balance across your online store, Shopify POS, and Apple or Google Wallet.
