How to kick off National Reading Month and get rewards

What’s the best way to kick off National Reading Month? With kicks, of course!

What is National Reading Month?

March has been designated National Reading Month to encourage and celebrate the fun and adventure of reading. How can you participate? Here are 5 ways to get inspired this month!

1. Read aloud

celebrate national reading month together

Reading aloud as a family can help the kids with their language and reading skills. Plus, it’s great bonding time!

 

 

2. Schedule a read-in

celebrate national reading month cozy socks cold books

March often brings cold and blustery weather. Make of the most of a rainy day by getting cozy on the couch and snuggling up with a good book.

 

 

3. Join a book club

celebrate national reading month join book club

Need something a little more social? Join (or organize!) a local book club. Choose books as a group, read them, and circle back to discuss all together. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a new crew while you’re at it!

 

4. Recommit to your reading list

celebrate national reading month baby reading fast

Have you had a book on your to-read list for awhile? Use this month to catch up and plan out what’s next on the docket. That way you’ll have something in the queue for the next time you’re ready for a little R&R.

 

5. Update your reader

Through March 10 you can celebrate with $20 off select Amazon Kindle devices like the Paperwhite AND great books that you can access anywhere, anytime. You can load up on books from Amazon without having to lug heavy bags around or adding to clutter to your home. Plus, you’ll get rewarded with kicks for every dollar you spend that you can put towards a free gift card!

 

 

Escape into National Reading Month

For a limited time, buy an Amazon Kindle or Amazon Kindle Paperwhite through the Shopkick app for $20 off and earn 5 kicks for every dollar you spend. Pair that with a Kindle Unlimited subscription for $9.99 a month, and you’ll be ready to cozy up with that novel calling your name. Open the Shopkick app and check out some of our favorite titles this month. 

Happy reading, and happy shopkicking!

Get fit and earn kicks with Shopkick

Every year, many of us take time to reflect on the past year and resolve to make the new year better than the last. One popular resolution is to be healthier — losing weight, eating better, or achieving fitness goals. These “get fit” resolutions are entirely attainable, but require planning ahead.

Keep your resolutions this year

We polled loyal Shopkickers to find out about their New Year’s resolutions. Despite having the best intentions, we learned only 34% of people actually stick to their resolutions throughout the whole year. Most people, 64% of respondents, abandon their goals by Spring.

Experts say that the best way to keep your resolutions is to set smaller, more realistic goals and planning out the steps you will take to achieve them. For example, rather than promising to lose weight, pledge to lose one pound a week until you reach your goal. Instead of resolving to eat healthier, commit to planning meals three times a week and perhaps eating red meat once a week.

Get healthy and earn kicks with Shopkick

Do you need an extra reason to stick to your resolution this year? Shopkickers like Shaurice D. from Atlanta use Shopkick to help them achieve their fitness goals while they earn kicks. Some Shopkickers get their kicks while they get in their daily steps, while others browse the app to find kicks on fitness or health-related products.

Shopkick named top app in ComScore’s 2017 Mobile App Report

ComScore released its annual US Mobile App Report that charts trends in the mobile app landscape. The report explores the dynamics of mobile media consumption, breaking down app usage and behavior by audience segments, and uncovering other insights to help advertisers and publishers take advantage of these trends.

One of the major takeaways from the report is that apps are dominating consumer’s digital media habits, with 57% of consumers’ time spent using digital media now taking place in mobile apps. Consumers are also fairly established in which apps they use, with most of their time concentrated in their top apps. 90% of mobile app time is spent in consumer’s top five apps, and 50% of time is in their top app.

With consumers’ time being concentrated in a small number of their favorite apps, it’s critical for marketers to understand where their target audience spends time in order to effectively reach and engage them.

While the most popular apps by time spent are predominantly Facebook and Google, a more nuanced look at the top indexing apps by age segment reveals social and entertainment affinity among younger adults, and news and retail affinity among older adults.

Shopkick is reported as one of the top apps for Gen Xers (35-54), the age segment that is most likely to download and use retail and shopping apps.

Shopkick was also identified as one of consumers’ top hidden gems, defined as “the one app that you love, but that you think is not widely known or not used by many people, but think it should be.”
