Слайд 2www.sparkpage.com

You’ve built your product. You’re proud of it. You want to

show it off and engage with users.

But how?


Слайд 3www.sparkpage.com

It’s often a struggle getting from zero to a thousand, or

one thousand to ten thousand, or any user significant growth really.

So, we here at SparkPage, decided to do some research.

Слайд 4www.sparkpage.com

We found the best of the best out there.

The companies

that grew big fast.

And we are profiling their growth stories.

Слайд 5www.sparkpage.com
We have squeezed them into 5 actionable growth strategies.

And we

are showing you how you can use them in your business’ onboarding strategy.

Let’s get started!

Слайд 7www.sparkpage.com


Everyone enjoys being a VIP.

Someone who is in the inner circle

and has something that no one else has.



Слайд 8www.sparkpage.com

Smart apps use this feeling to their advantage, as a reward

to encourage the first trove of users to sign up.

Pinterest, Spotify, Facebook...They all were initially invite only.

And it got them noticed!




Слайд 10www.sparkpage.com


Mailbox are an app that used exclusivity and blew it out

of the park.





Слайд 11www.sparkpage.com

At first, they let users download their app before it “launched”.



Users were greeted by a page prompting them to reserve a place in line.







Слайд 12www.sparkpage.com

After registering, Mailbox showed them the number of people on the

waiting list before and after them.

Pretty genius, right?






Слайд 13www.sparkpage.com




People started sharing their number, taking pride in how high

up the queue they were.
The buzz was palpable with Mailbox.








Слайд 14www.sparkpage.com
This one simple screen got people excited, got them tweeting, and

got the press interested.
They were being talked about pretty much everywhere.







Слайд 15www.sparkpage.com

So how did they take this buzz and turbo charge it?



By adding referrals into the mix!

Users waiting in line were given the opportunity to skip the queue if they tweeted about downloading Mailbox.










Слайд 16www.sparkpage.com


Double genius!

The number of people signing up and queuing grew by

the thousands each hour.










Слайд 17www.sparkpage.com

Within a week, they had 500,000 users signed up and they

hadn’t even launched!

It was so successful that Mailbox was quickly snapped up for €100 million within two months of launching.

Impressive stuff, huh?!!











Слайд 19www.sparkpage.com


Equally clever is About.me’s story.

Just like Mailbox they used exclusivity. However,

where Mailbox used it for virality, About.me used it create a sense of scarcity and urgency.








Слайд 20www.sparkpage.com

They wanted to offer a personal profile page to every user

on the web.

But here’s the catch – once one John Smith signed up, about.me/johnsmith was gone.










Слайд 21www.sparkpage.com

Users had to act quick to secure their vanity URL.










Слайд 22www.sparkpage.com
People clamoured to ensure they got their own URL before anyone

else.

About Me experienced an amazing reaction as they gained 400,000 users within a few months of launching.

Amazing results!










Слайд 24www.sparkpage.com
Does your product have a scarce aspect that benefits users on

a first come, first serve basis?
If not, can you craft one?

The caveat, of course, is not to use exclusivity excessively.

Be smart about it.











Слайд 25www.sparkpage.com
Like with user onboarding…

With SparkPage, you can send smart messages that

use exclusivity to get your user to convert.

Sending messages like “Only one day left on your trial” or sending users special exclusive offers for your app is a perfect and attainable way to use exclusivity!










Слайд 27www.sparkpage.com


As an emerging app, you are likely to be lacking resources.



It takes time, money and people to reach an audience of a million users. All of which you simply don’t have.













Слайд 28www.sparkpage.com


That’s why smart marketers piggyback.













Слайд 30www.sparkpage.com

Started in 2009, Imgur was born out of frustration.

The founder

had a problem uploading images to Reddit.

The available options just weren’t up to snuff, so they built their own.











Слайд 31www.sparkpage.com





They announced the tool in a Reddit thread titled
“My

Gift to Reddit: I created an image hosting service that doesn’t suck. What do you think?”.






Слайд 32www.sparkpage.com


Well Reddit users thought it was pretty great.

Imgur exploded!








Слайд 33www.sparkpage.com

The first few days it received a few thousand hits.

By

the end of the first 5 months it had over a million total pageviews.

And now gets over a billion pageviews a day!






Слайд 35www.sparkpage.com

So what’s the lesson to be learned here?

Like Imgur, you should

see if your product can act as a tool for an existing massive community.








Слайд 36www.sparkpage.com

Paypal was the best payments tool for the massive community of

eBay sellers.

Instagram was the best cool pictures tool for the massive community of Facebook users.








Слайд 37www.sparkpage.com


These are all on a big scale. But you can also

piggyback in smaller ways.

Like social logins for your app.










Слайд 38www.sparkpage.com
Giving users the option to easily login using Twitter and Facebook.

Or sending them onboarding messages that remind them to use social.

This can be an easily hack to piggybacking.








Слайд 40www.sparkpage.com


If you are an app who isn’t doing any form of

content marketing, you’re missing out!

There is a community out there just waiting for you.








Слайд 41www.sparkpage.com

Our last strategy talked about providing tools for them.

Content marketing

is similar. You’re trying to bring the same value to the community, but with education, information or entertainment instead of a product.











Слайд 42www.sparkpage.com


Blogging, podcasts, video... they all are tools that can help.

It’s

just finding what you believe will reach the right people.









Слайд 44www.sparkpage.com

The Buffer case study is a perfect example of just how

successful building a community can be.

Their founder Leo Widrich has been outspoken about his use of guest blogging and the success that came from it.








Слайд 45www.sparkpage.com

Spanning over 9 months Leo wrote over 150 guest posts on

a multitude of blogs.

He made content marketing his primary focus and central to Buffer’s marketing strategy.








Слайд 46www.sparkpage.com

He would get published wherever and whenever he could. And the

results speak for themselves. As he said:

“Solely through guest blogging we’ve acquired around 100,000 users within the first 9 months of running Buffer”









Слайд 47www.sparkpage.com

That’s 100,000 users all down to tapping into communities and utilizing

guest blogging to appeal to them.
Buffer’s community is online marketers. That’s who their tool helps, but it’s also who their content helps.

It’s a clever growth strategy that worked amazingly well for the business.










Слайд 49www.sparkpage.com

Mint.com’s launch was an amazing success.

And their marketing team credit community

building through content for much of this growth.











Слайд 50www.sparkpage.com
They made blogging and content creation a major part of their

marketing effort.
And it really paid off.











Слайд 51www.sparkpage.com
They said:
“We focused on building out a unique personal finance blog,

very content-rich, that spoke to a young professional crowd that we felt was being neglected. Eventually the blog became #1 in personal finance, and drove traffic to the app. Our app didn’t have a high viral coefficient but we had content that was. Our infographics and popular articles became regular hits on Digg, Reddit, etc.”










Слайд 52www.sparkpage.com



The results were amazing and helped them nab
1.5 millions users!








Слайд 54www.sparkpage.com


Every app should be making great content that helps their users.



It’s an easy and attainable growth hack.





Слайд 55www.sparkpage.com
Just make sure your users can find it.

Like sending videos and

guides in a user’s onboarding journey.

This is a great way to walk a user through your product and increase conversions!






Слайд 57www.sparkpage.com


Customers trust other customers.

And when they see a review, or

plug for a brand they trust it more than a message from the brand itself.











Слайд 58www.sparkpage.com

Case studies, customer reviews, referral systems... These are all strategies that

have clout.

But the fastest growing companies don’t just hope for virality, they engineer it into their core.












Слайд 60www.sparkpage.com

Farmville is a game that have set the standard for engineering

viral growth.

They made sharing on Facebook an integral part of their game.












Слайд 61www.sparkpage.com

Users start off playing the game alone.

However, as the game

becomes increasingly difficult players have no choice but to reach out for help.














Слайд 62www.sparkpage.com

A request would pop up in their timeline asking others to

help.














Слайд 63www.sparkpage.com

Of course players flooded Facebook with requests to friends for help.



Non-players would become curious about what this game is all about and want to join their friends.













Слайд 64www.sparkpage.com

The strategy created spectacular, explosive growth for Farmville.

The game at

its height had 81 million active monthly users and won social media game of the year.

All due to their referral engine!













Слайд 66www.sparkpage.com


Spotify is another awesome example of word of mouth at work.















Слайд 67www.sparkpage.com
In an excellent post, Victoria Young dissected the key Product Features

and how they helped Spotify’s growth.













Слайд 68www.sparkpage.com


Interestingly, 3 of the 4 Product Features are designed to create

strong network effects.

Spotify didn’t wait for word of mouth, they engineered it.












Слайд 69www.sparkpage.com
Oh, and have you seen their numbers lately?












Слайд 71www.sparkpage.com

Engineering a referral machine doesn’t have to be a complicated thing.



It can be as simple as prompting your users for a review!









Слайд 72www.sparkpage.com

Sending a quick, laidback email or push notification with SparkPage saying

“Hey, want to give us 5 stars?” is a really easy thing to do.

And it gets you results!









Слайд 74www.sparkpage.com

Within communities there are influencers.

Voices that are listened to, drive

word of mouth and get people talking about businesses.









Слайд 75www.sparkpage.com

Seth Godin calls them sneezers, but that’s a bit gross.

They affect

people’s actions and drive change.

Find them!










Слайд 76www.sparkpage.com


These people will be essential in fuelling your growth. Smart businesses

identify them and get in front of them.









Слайд 78www.sparkpage.com


Sprout It, a startup gardening app, showed how effective influencers can

really be.











Слайд 79www.sparkpage.com


Wanting to build some buzz for their app launch, they ran

a social media competition giving fans the chance to win a backyard makeover.











Слайд 80www.sparkpage.com

Fans just had to post a pic with the company’s hashtag.

All

fairly standard stuff so far...










Слайд 81www.sparkpage.com
The reaction was lukewarm in the early stages.

So they went back

to the drawing board.

They compiled a list of influential DIY and gardening bloggers and reached out with a very simple ask “Want to blog about our cool competition?”












Слайд 82www.sparkpage.com

The results surpassed Sprout It’s expectations.

Seven of the bloggers they

reached out to promoted the campaign.











Слайд 83www.sparkpage.com

The hashtag reached over 60,000 people, drove 5000 visits to the

app and they received 150 submissions to their contest.

The campaign was named in Huffington Post’s 10 Best Influencer Marketing Campaigns of 2013.







Слайд 84www.sparkpage.com


The influencers took a floundering campaign and turbocharged it.

Not bad for

$0 and a few hours work!









Слайд 86www.sparkpage.com


It’s not just businesses using influencers.

Even Barack Obama is getting

in on the action!








Слайд 87www.sparkpage.com


Obama’s team has been vocal about their desire to find more

innovative ways to engage with their audience, particularly younger voters.






Слайд 88www.sparkpage.com
They wanted to show a more down to earth side to

the president.

And also reach a generation who aren’t interested in traditional media and are generally apathetic towards politics.

So they decided to reach out to influencers.





Слайд 89www.sparkpage.com

They picked three YouTube stars, each with a different audience, and

gave them the opportunity to have a one on one interview with the president.








Слайд 90www.sparkpage.com

The YouTubers were told to ask their followers, over 15 million

collectively, for questions to ask the president.

The hashtag #YouTubeAsksObama was also created to get their fans talking and spreading the word.








Слайд 91www.sparkpage.com
It really did get their audience involved.
Over the course of the

interviews the hashtag spiked with 11,000 impacts.











Слайд 92www.sparkpage.com


The interview, which was streamed live on YouTube, has been watched

over 3 million times and has over 65,000 likes.









Слайд 94www.sparkpage.com

Remember though, what Obama and Sprout It did worked because they

found the right influencer.

And it’s important you do too.

They don’t need to have a massive reach. They need the right reach.











Слайд 95www.sparkpage.com
You need to identify correctly who your audience actually is.

And then

discover the persuasive voice in that community.

They can be bloggers, celebrities, social media influencers or business heavyweights.










Слайд 96www.sparkpage.com

Be clever in using these influencers too.

Make it known to

new users in your onboarding messages that these influencers endorse your product.

It is a big draw for your new users!












Слайд 98www.sparkpage.com


These growth hacks aren’t unattainable or even extremely difficult. They just

need some elbow grease.

And you don’t need to jump in and copy them verbatim.













Слайд 99www.sparkpage.com

You can adapt and adopt them in smaller ways with SparkPage.

Incorporate

these growth hacks into your onboarding strategy and get amazing results!












Слайд 100www.sparkpage.com

You don’t need excessive resources and an endless well of cash.



You just need to make the effort, build the connection and reach out to customers, influencers and your team and find the growth strategies that can really accelerate your growth!
