SpringSled’s Launch Campaign Breakdown
Case Study by @roypovar
SpringSled got over 140,000 users on its waiting list in under 30 days. Without no-one really knowing what their product will actually look like, they have managed to convince a large number of people to sign-up and share
their landing page. This is quick breakdown of how the did it.
How did SpringSled got its 140,000 users?
Step 1: An efficient landing page with a clear message and a clear promise
Step 2: Offering 2 incentives for sharing: Cut in line and get Springsled free for 12 months
Low success bar (only 5 friends needed) and stand out sharing buttons for only 2 social networks
Step 3: A quick follow up email using the same messaging as the Thank you page, with a reminder of
their incentives
Step 4: Follow up emails to track your incentive progress
Even when you pass the sign-up goal you’re still prompted with future incentives
In my opinion, these are the reasons for its success
1. A clean, clear landing page
2. Delivering the “simple” promise on every level
3. Social proof - You know exactly how many people are
waiting in line
4. Incentives to share - Cut in line + 12 months free
5. Engaging follow-up emails
6. Consistent experience and messaging between all
content elements.
