Upshare deck-science

Simple, powerful viral marketing tools to help you drive traffic and make sales

THE PROBLEM

The best viral marketing campaigns must usually be built deep into your site from day 1, and there’s NO easy way to bolt on effective campaigns later.

Custom Incentives

A few services exist allowing you to reward the act of sharing,

but no solution provides a flexible, customizable or native-

looking user experience.

Smart brands see the power in viral marketing, and build custom tech to support it - but NO turnkey SaaS solution currently exists when it comes to:

Viral Funnel Analytics

Many social tool sites show basic sharing data. However, there is no

solution to let you visualize viral funnel metrics and A/B test individual

pages to maximize viral growth.

Influencer Targeting

Influencers command armies of niche fans and followers – and no

solution allows you to identify them, offer them rewards, AND

see analytics on promotion.

THE SOLUTION IS UPSHARE

Using responsive, cloud-based viral marketing tools that can be installed in 30 seconds with ZERO coding,

Upshare helps online businesses create and customize the same viral marketing tools top brands use to skyrocket growth.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

SHARE THE PAGE

Install Upshare on your website, and start customizing one or more of our responsive, cloud-based, viral marketing tools to any page in a matter of seconds.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

UNLOCK A REWARD

Create a reward using a promo code for your product or service. Users can then unlock it by sharing, liking, or inviting friends - giving them obvious value for bringing others to your site.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

MAKE THE SALE

Once users unlock your promo code for sharing, they’re more than twice as likely to buy from you as they’ve now earned an exclusive discount, which adds business value to your viral marketing.

HOW DO WE MAKE MONEY?

Upshare offers basic sharing tools for free to augment user acquisition, which has led to a strong 53% visitor to user conversion rate.

Users can unlock more advanced features for a monthly fee. Plans start at $12/month during Beta, and we’re currently showing an 11% free to pro conversion rate.
