Fashion retailer and founder of #RelaxedGlamour, Mint Velvet, operates in an increasingly competitive D2C space. The company was looking for ways to grow through its own customer fan base, rather than relying on expensive advertising and traditional influencer strategies to fuel growth.
Mint Velvet needed help turning its own customer base into a sales channel capable of scaling reach. They knew that encouraging customers to promote the brand to their own networks would allow for an increase in growth and a decrease in cost.
Knowing that customers were looking for authentic content, Mint Velvet needed a way to incentivize their customers to create and share User Generated Content (UGC) on behalf of the brand, as well as affiliate links with their own networks.

Duel designed and built an Ambassador program, the #MVCollective, to engage Mint Velvet’s most socially active and influential customers and incentivize them to create and share content on behalf of the brand with their own followers.
