Something exciting is happening in Idaho. Swensen's Magic Markets, a beloved local grocery chain, has become our first US customer to adopt the comment-to-reserve system that's been transforming grocery stores across Sweden.
And the results? They speak for themselves.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Before using Commentsell, Swensen's Facebook posts were getting the typical grocery store engagement: maybe 1-2 likes per post. Sound familiar?
Now look at one of their recent Social Deals—Pocket Ranch & Creamery flavored milk "Chuggers" at $2.49 (regularly $3.49).
The results from that single post:
- 112 likes (up from 1-2)
- 119 comments (customers reserving their items)
- 10 shares (organic reach explosion)
That's not a typo. One post. 112 likes. 119 engaged customers commenting to reserve.
What They Sold
The deal was simple but irresistible: locally-made flavored milk from Pocket Ranch & Creamery, a family-owned dairy farm in Gooding, Idaho. Chocolate or Huckleberry flavors, 29% off the regular price.
Customers just had to comment with their preferred store location (Orchard, Addison, Paul, or Hagerman), how many bottles they wanted, and which flavors. Within seconds, they received a confirmation.
No app downloads. No complicated checkout process. Just a comment.
Why This Matters
This is proof that the Swedish model works in America. The same psychology that drives engagement in Scandinavia works just as well in Idaho:
Social proof is powerful. When customers see 119 comments on a deal, they want in. FOMO is real.
Local products resonate. Swensen's featured a local dairy farm—customers love supporting their community.
Simplicity wins. Comment, confirm, pick up. That's it.
The Bigger Picture
Swensen's Magic Markets isn't just selling discounted milk. They're building a community around their stores. Every person who commented is now more connected to the brand. Every share extended their reach to new potential customers.
Posts that used to get 1-2 likes now regularly drive hundreds of engagements. That's the power of giving customers a reason to interact—not just scroll past.

If a grocery store in Idaho can go from 2 likes to 112 on a single post, imagine what's possible for your store.
