Waitlist With a Sweepstakes

Launch your product by running a Waitlist Sweepstakes where leads sign up for the waitlist and then earn additional entries by referring friends and taking actions that improve their odds of winning and move them up in line.

Example KickoffLabs Sweepstakes with Milestone Rewards campaign.

Why run a Waitlist Sweepstakes?

Incentivize your Waitlist

A prize gives people incentive to move up the list beyond the simple joy of being first. It's also something fun for your new audience.

Grow your Email & Social Audience

Not only will leads join your waitlist in anticipation for your launch, but they will also be incentivized to complete contest actions to win a prize.

Create Online Engagement

With a sweepstakes, leads are excited to earn more entries and engage with your waitlist by referring friends, adding their phone number, sharing posts, and more!

Boost Launch Sales

In our experience between 5-10% of leads captured in a product launch convert to customers during the launch phase. Leads will be working to earn the big prize but you can also send special offers to contest participants and add retargeting to expand the reach of your advertising campaigns to continue growth.

We wanted to use KickoffLabs, because we don't want to launch to crickets because this was kind of our brand relaunch.

I just started searching for ways to implement a wait list in a very quick way. And I was looking for a software that can really help me manage that and that's where KickoffLabs came in.

But what was really appealing to me about KickoffLabs is that built in social share feature. None of the other ones at the time had that available.
