Beardbrand Team

Being a startup ourselves we know how difficult it can be to find new customers. We see so many incredible products every day but not many startups using giveaways to get them in front of more people.

Every month, hundreds of startups use our platform to grow their business. You can read some case studies with both Beardbrand & Wet Shave Club to get an idea of what types of campaigns they are executing.

Bloggers are a huge market for competitions, often they giveaway products from brands directly or run competitions to giveaway snippets or full versions of their own digital products.

Bloggers can run Gleam directly in a blog post with our widget. Have a play with our demo below to get a feel for how the entry mechanisms work.

Do you have an awesome product that you want to get in more people’s hands? Or perhaps you’ve just added a new feature that you want to promote?

You can easily use Gleam to incentivize new customers to try out your new features, launch a crowdfunding campaign, or to get potential customers to try out a free trial, or you could simply give away a defined number of your new products to people.

Using our viral entry mechanisms means that the more entries you get, the more your product gets in front of more qualified people. Having the right prize that suits the demographic that you’re targeting means you can get a massively amplified reach. Something you’d pay handsomely for via traditional channels.
