Premium Store Follow System for BuiltBybit

[TBStudio]

Summary
We propose adding a new Premium Store Follow System to BuiltByBit to boost user engagement, strengthen store loyalty, and give store owners powerful new marketing tools. With this system, users can follow stores and earn rewards, while store owners can more effectively build and communicate with their audience.

How It Works

For Users

• Follow your favorite premium stores.
• Upon following, receive special coupon codes created by the store (discounts, free trials, etc.).
• Users must follow a store before downloading any free products — encouraging long-term engagement.
• Receive notifications when:
  • A new product is released
  • An existing product gets a major update
  • A discount or promotion is launched

For Store Owners

• Create exclusive coupon codes for followers.
• Send notifications to followers about new products, updates, and promotions.
• Unlock special badges or enhanced platform visibility when certain follower milestones are reached.
• Gain insights into your follower base and tailor campaigns accordingly.

Additional Suggestions from TBStudio

• Follower Tiers
  Introduce levels such as “Follower,” “Loyal Follower,” and “VIP Follower.”
  Long-term or highly active followers unlock extra perks.
• Top 10 Most Followed Stores
  Display a public leaderboard of the Top 10 most followed stores.
  Adds prestige and creates healthy competition among stores.
• Follower Milestone Rewards
  Reward stores that hit key milestones (100, 500, 1000 followers) with badges, improved visibility, or other platform perks.
  Encourages store owners to engage more actively with the community.

We believe this system will enhance the overall user experience, help top stores build dedicated communities, and further motivate premium creators on BuiltByBit.

We had previously shared this proposal on Discord as well, but we’re posting it here so others can add their ideas and feedback too.
