Found a great restaurant you want to try? A salon you loved? A shop with unique products? LinkSalone's favorites feature lets you save and organize businesses for easy access later. Here's how to use it like a pro.

What is the Favorites Feature?

The favorites feature lets you bookmark businesses you're interested in. Think of it as your personal collection of trusted businesses—all in one place.

How to Save a Business

Saving a business is simple:

  1. Find a business you like through search or browsing
  2. Click the heart icon on their profile or in search results
  3. The heart will fill with color, confirming it's saved
  4. Access all your saved businesses from your profile under "Favorites"

Creating Collections

Did you know you can organize your favorites into collections? This is a game-changer for staying organized.

How to Create Collections:

  1. Go to your Favorites page
  2. Click "Create New Collection" or "Manage Collections"
  3. Name your collection (e.g., "Restaurants to Try," "Date Night Spots," "Weekend Shopping")
  4. Add businesses to collections when you save them or move them later

Collection Ideas:

  • Restaurants by cuisine: Italian, Lebanese, Sierra Leonean, etc.
  • Services you need regularly: Salon, barber, mechanic
  • Gift shopping: Unique shops for presents
  • Vacation planning: Businesses in cities you plan to visit
  • Wedding planning: Caterers, venues, photographers

Removing Businesses from Favorites

Changed your mind? No problem:

  • Click the heart icon again on any business to remove it
  • Or go to your Favorites page and click "Remove" on any listing
  • You can also move businesses between collections or delete entire collections

Sharing Your Favorites

Planning an outing with friends? Sharing gift ideas with family? You can share your favorites:

  1. Go to a collection you want to share
  2. Click the "Share" button
  3. Copy the link or share directly via social media, email, or messaging
  4. Anyone with the link can view your collection (they don't need a LinkSalone account)

Using Favorites for Research

The favorites feature isn't just for businesses you've already visited. Use it for research:

  • Save businesses you're considering to compare later
  • Create a "To Try" collection for restaurants you've heard about
  • Save multiple options when planning an event, then decide later
  • Research services in different price ranges and save them for comparison

Pro Tips for Power Users

  • Review your collections monthly: Remove businesses that are no longer relevant and add new discoveries.
  • Use descriptive collection names: "Good restaurants" is less helpful than "Italian restaurants near work."
  • Add notes: Some collections allow you to add private notes about why you saved a business.
  • Combine with reviews: After visiting a saved business, leave a review to help others.

On Mobile vs. Desktop

The favorites feature works seamlessly on both mobile and desktop:

  • Mobile: Tap the heart icon, access favorites from your profile menu
  • Desktop: Click the heart icon, find favorites in your account dropdown
  • Your favorites sync automatically across all devices

Privacy and Favorites

Your favorites and collections are private by default. Only you can see them unless you choose to share a collection link. When you share, recipients can only view the businesses—they can't see your other collections or personal information.
