What makes KickoffLabs different?

Our goal is to help you create a campaign that goes viral with simpler tools that are more flexible with support that feels like a trusted advisor before, during, and after each campaign.

Few companies can keep their technology a secret. Any good technology can and will be copied. Technology can rarely act as a dependable competitive edge. At KickoffLabs, we aim to provide the best overall experience for building a marketing campaign.

Beautiful sweepstakes templates.

How we create an amazing customer support experience.

We provide as much support as we can, because every campaign is unique and deserves to succeed. Here are a few things you won't get with Gleam:

  • Every paying customer can schedule a personal 1:1 onboarding call to help get started and answer questions.
  • Concierge custom domain setup and script installation help.
  • Free feedback on demand so you know you're following best practices. We've been doing this since 2011 and we're always happy to lend our two cents.
  • Done for You services are available to get your campaign off the ground quickly so you can focus on your product and other marketing tasks.
Drive more conversions using KickoffLabs viral tools to turn 1 new customer into 3.

Unparalleled Flexibility with a drag and drop contest builder & AnyForm

We offer a drag-and-drop contest page builder instead of using fixed layouts. Or bring your own HMTL. Or use our pop-ups on your site. Or even another landing page builder you prefer.

Our "AnyForm" solution turns any landing page into a KickoffLabs signup form or page. You get total control over the look of your form.

I started using Viral Loops and other Wordpress plugins but it wasn't flexible enough for what I wanted ( e.g. their pre-built pages were not flexible enough and to embed on my own page was too difficult for me to do myself).

KickoffLabs works for non-tech marketers and those with some tech expertise that want to work more directly with our viral boost APIs. We aim to combine simplicity with flexabible solutions for the most demanding brands.
