How it sells itself

Most sites struggle to generate signups. It can be tough to convince a user to give you their information. FreeDrop changes that by providing the user something to participate in. You make a game in our app for your site. This can be a live game, a game that runs for a specific amount of time, or ongoing. When a user goes to enter the game to win a discount they provide their information to enter.

App is custom made for purpose, enabling brands to easily offer discounts to customers while also tracking sampling campaign performance live.

Key points
  • Create a Promo on an unreleased Youtube video to drive engagement on the video.
  • You can require that the user is subscribed to the YouTube channel to enter.
  • Winners receive a unique, one time use, coupon code.
  • Get detailed analytics on promo participation and discount code usage.
  • Automatic generation of discount codes for each customer
  • Automatic tracking of campaign performance
  • Post-campaign analytics supported through Shopify data
