Wireless transmission-triggered incentives driving social media engagement

A method for incentivizing data distribution between computing devices, the method comprising:

• receiving tag information scanned from a tag by a user device, the tag associated with product or service;
• identifying that a social media account associated with the user device includes permission to take actions via the associated social media account;
• sending an offer to the user device based on the received tag information and the authorization, the offer specifying one or more rewards for taking one or more actions related to the product or service via the associated social media account;
• detecting when the user device has taken at least one of the actions via the associated social media account;
• and
• sending a communication to the user device indicating that at least first one of the rewards have been earned based on the at least one action taken by the user device via the associated social media account, wherein the first reward is provided upon request by the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor for implementing a method for incentivizing data distribution between computing devices, the method comprising:

• receiving tag information scanned from a tag by a user device, the tag associated with product or service;
• identifying that a social media account associated with the user device includes permission to take actions via the associated social media account;
• sending an offer to the user device based on the received tag information and the authorization, the offer specifying one or more rewards for taking one or more actions related to the product or service via the associated social media account;
• detecting when the user device has taken at least one of the actions via the associated social media account;
• and
• sending a communication to the user device indicating that at least first one of the rewards have been earned based on the at least one action taken by the user device via the associated social media account, wherein the first reward is provided upon request by the user device.

An apparatus for implementing a method for incentivizing data distribution between computing devices, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor that executes instructions out of the memory to:
• process tag information scanned from a tag by a user device, the tag associated with product or service,
• identify that a social media account associated with the user device includes permission to take actions via the associated social media account,
• prepare an offer to send to the user device based on the received tag information and the authorization, the offer specifying one or more rewards for taking one or more actions related to the product or service via the associated social media account, wherein the prepared offer is sent to the user device,
• detect when the user device has taken at least one of the actions via the associated social media account, and
• prepare a communication to be sent to the user device indicating that at least first one of the rewards have been earned based on the at least one action taken by the user device via the associated social media account, wherein the communication is sent to the user device and the first reward is provided upon request by the user device.
