The Milestone Referral by Viral Loops - Community & email list building with company swag 🎁

@savvaszortikis Hey Savvas, congrats on the launch. This looks very similar to our Vira Lead Magnets, that we launched on PH a while ago: https://producthunt.com/posts/ma... Best of luck!

@mnlfrgr Thank you Manuel! I've seen Viral Lead Magnets and seem cool. We've launched a similar concept last year with our Leaderboard Giveaway but with The Milestone Referral, we focus more on helping companies to build a community like The Hustle does. This is why we focus on the rewarding step a lot and integrated with Startup Threads—a service to automatically store and ship company merchandise for your users and customers. Hope to meet you soon and share valuable lessons from our journey so far :) Competition makes both of us better 🙌

@savvaszortikis Yeah, for sure! I'll ping you next time I'm in London ;)

@mnlfrgr Cool! 😎

@kaivandave I'd love to help! Would you like to schedule a quick call over the next few days? https://calendly.com/viralloops/...

@mkaroumi Glad to hear it Marcus! :) In two weeks we're launching our Shopify app, too 😉

@savvaszortikis daaamn! You know what I want to hear 😍

@mkaroumi Hahaha 🙌 Really appreciate your feedback since the beginning!

@carafnparrish they need to join (subscribe) and then they are prompted to invite their friends, too. Viral Loops concept :)

@savvaszortikis But do the leads collect to a CSV?

@carafnparrish They are stored in Viral Loops and you can see them and export them to a CSV through our dashboard. We're also integrated with Mailchimp, Mailjet and hundreds of email apps through Zapier.

@imvassilis Glad you like it Vassilis! 🙏 If your product is paid, you can run a double-sided program in which the referrer and the invitee are rewarded—attribution of successful referral—when the invitee signs up or becomes a paid subscriber. If you choose the latter, you will notice a decreased your k-factor, but you need to check the trade-off between this and the value of each referral (LTV). In Viral Loops we use the former and now launching The Milestone Referral for our own company, as it will help us build: 1) our email list faster We focus a lot on content marketing and therefore our email list is crucial for distribution and converting subscribers to actual signups and customers. 2) a community By giving nice company merchandise—and not just a t-shirt with your company name—people will actually wear these and spread the word about you. This will also help you make your customers happy and may have an impact on retention. Let me know if you need to go deeper in any of my points 🙃

@frank_denbow Hi Frank! We're big fans of Startup Threads and this is why we made it a core module :) Currently, triggers are based on the number of referrals. What type of triggers do you have in mind?

@nwkwan @paptom is a role model 😂

@nwkwan this is how we roll mate :p

@george_vou Thanks for your feedback George! Keep it up 💪

@sarim_haq Hi Sarim! Exactly :) You just need a landing page to embed our widgets (form, milestone widget, sharing widgets, etc.) You can track your campaign's performance through our dashboard and also take specific actions for your participants (e.g. if you want to reward them manually, you can mark people as rewarded) Let me know if you have any more questions ✌️

@andrewmichaelsa Thank you so much for your support Andrew! 🙏

@savvaszortikis One of your customer posted his URL too, you should ask him if you can use his as a referral too. Clover wasn't a great example for me but Glyder was https://glyder.io/mens-grooming-...

@ryanmtaylor Hi Ryan! Thank you for the feedback. I love Clover letter's referral program, but this is my opinion of course :) You can also take a look at this one: https://www.kien.io/pages/referrals Hope you like it!
