Why Social Perks

How Social Perks helps brewery owners in San Jose

Most breweries in San Jose already have the marketing budget they need — it's just walking through the door every day. Social Perks turns that traffic into measurable social proof. Pick a perk (a discount, a freebie, a featured spot), pick the action (a Instagram post, a TikTok review, a Untappd share), and we handle the verification, FTC disclosure, and tracking automatically.

You get a campaign live in five minutes, customers get a real reward for sharing, and your shop shows up where San Jose neighbors are already searching. No agency contracts, no guesswork, and no paid-ad spend you can't track back to a real customer.
