What Is the "Follow" Button?
The "Follow" button is a powerful feature on The Oblist that allows customers to stay updated with your latest products. By following your store, customers can receive notifications when you upload new items, keeping them engaged and encouraging repeat visits. This tool helps foster loyalty and enhances your visibility on the platform.
How Does the Follow Button Work?
Follower Notifications
When a customer follows your store, they will receive notifications via email whenever you upload new products. This ensures that your followers stay informed about your latest collections or designs.Follower Count
The total number of followers your store has will be displayed publicly only after you reach 10 followers.
Before that, the count remains private but is still tracked internally.

In the future, follower counts will contribute to your store’s ranking in The Oblist search results. Stores with more followers may see improved visibility on the platform, making it even more valuable to grow your following.

Highlight the benefits of following, such as being the first to see new arrivals or exclusive launches.
Share the feature with your existing audience on social media to drive engagement.
