How to promote your brand and get more orders

Increase your sales and attract Glovo users by running promotions and Ads with our self service tools in 5 minutes. Boosting your business growth has never been easier.
This has proven to be a great way for Partners to increase their orders: we have on average 100% growth from those who already did promotions! And with Ads, your store is featured in highly visible places like the homepage, store listing, and search results and you’ll only pay for the clicks you receive. Right now, you’ll be able to set up promos and ads directly from the Manager Portal.

How can you set up a promotion?

Access the Manager Portal and go to the tab named “Promotions”.

Select the Promotion type you are interested in creating and click on the button “Create promotion”.

You’ll be asked to provide the following information:

 

  • Stores for which you’d like to run the campaign

  • Dates for the promotion to apply (duration of the Promotion). If not filled, the promotion will run as long as your store is open.

  • Hours you want your promo to be displayed on the Glovo app (daily active times).

  • % discount to be offered/delivery fee (depending on the promotion selected).

  • Only for Delivery promotions: set a minimum spend that the user needs to reach in order to benefit from your promotion.

Remember that you can optionally determine a maximum budget to spend per campaign so you can easily track your investment and calculate its return. The costs of promotions will be added as part of your regular invoices and your commission will be applied only to the value of the products that the user actually paid for (the commission never applies to the delivery fee).

In the Promotions section of Manager Portal you’ll also be able to check and manage your active Promotions and check your full Promotions history, including their performance data, such as New customers, Orders and Gross revenue coming from the Promotion period. You’ll receive an email with the performance metrics by the end of your Promotion.

Visit the Manager Portal for more information regarding promotions and the self service promo tool.

  • Run your campaign for at least one month. Remember, you only pay for the ad when someone clicks on it.

  • Ensure your store photos are high quality and up-to-date.
