Prelaunch Email Capture Reward Template

Use this pre-launch email capture template to build hype before your next product launches and reward early supporters with pre-launch discounts.

Invite visitors to join your email list, then deliver exclusive coupon codes that drive purchases as soon as your product or service goes live.
