Today we are excited to launch our first official referral program: Share & Earn! 🎁 

💡 Why did we launch it? 

With an NPS of 65 and lots of customer love, word of mouth is important for a business like ours, especially since we are fully bootstrapped and do not rely on external financing. But we also knew that we don't expect you to promote AnnounceKit for free; we want to reward you for it. So that everyone wins. Now we have the technology in place to do that. 

💰 What's in it for me?

You can offer your network a 30% discount & earn up to $1,000 on their subscription. 

• For every customer that signs up through your referral link, you will receive 25% of their subscription. 
• You can earn up to $1,000 per referred client. 
• Your network will also get 30% off on their AnnounceKit plan for the first 3 months. 

☺ Awesome! How can I get started? 

Generate a link. To participate you simply need to login to AnnounceKit and click on the Gift Icon in the top right corner to generate your unique link.

Share it. Once you have the link, you can copy & share via your preferred distribution channel. Share it with your friends, in Slack groups, on LinkedIn, or place it in your bio on Instagram and TikTok.

Track the status. When you click on the Gift Icon, you can track the status of your referral(s). 

Earn rewards. The person who clicks on your link can sign up for a free 15-day trial of AnnounceKit. If they subscribe to one of our plans, then you will be rewarded for it. You will be notified once someone views your link or becomes a customer. Your rewards will be displayed in your referral widget & automatically transferred to your Paypal account every month. 

👇 Where and how do I promote my unique referral link best?

It totally depends on you and the platforms you are active on. We do have a few tips for you:

• If you are active in a lot of Slack groups, search in these Slack groups for keywords that AnnounceKit can help with. “Product announcements”, "Product updates", “Feature requests”, “Release notes”, "Changelog", "Roadmap", can be great keywords. Recommend AnnounceKit and paste your unique link into the thread.
• If you are active on LinkedIn or Twitter, recommend AnnounceKit to your network as a post. Also pay attention to conversations in your network around the problems that AnnounceKit can solve and recommend AnnounceKit as a tool to explore.
• If you are active on Instagram and TikTok, make a video about how AnnounceKit helps you with your specific use cases. Also, make sure to add AnnounceKit to your link-in-bio so that your new and existing followers can discover AnnounceKit continuously.
• Additionally, it never hurts to promote it to your friends and family via Whatsapp.

Your AnnounceKit Team 

Another year has passed, and this time of the year is when we look at ourselves and realize how we made it. At AnnounceKit, we seek ways to “always do better,” so we want to reflect on how far we came for you to do better this year!

In this year-end roundup, we’ll take a look back at the significant updates and experiences that have shaped 2022– all created to better your customer engagements.

Taking a moment to reflect on the past year and share some exciting updates and experiences

It was a year full of significant improvements, fantastic growth, and much joy between you and us. No joy can come out of zero. To bring success and joy to you, we started the year with one– the goal of expanding the powers of our product. As a result, we gathered three infinity stones to complete a significant part of the customer feedback cycle.

1. Listening to customer feedback 👂
2. Outlining a public roadmap 🗺
3. Writing outstanding announcements 📣

Key Updates

Concentrating our main goal of expanding the powers of our product, our effort to improve your experience was our main motivation. With that in mind, our team has grown our feature set with several major updates. And our efforts and motivation finally resulted in a new product concept of creating a centralized place for the customer feedback loop.

1. Product Feedback and Idea Voting

To complete the first step of the customer feedback cycle, we introduced our product feedback and idea voting feature in beta this year. With this development, you can easily create a centralized place for customers to submit and vote on the feature requests they’re most interested in seeing.

And for you, this can help guide your product development and ensure you build the features that matter most to your audience 

2. Public and Internal Roadmap

Without completing each step successfully, we wouldn’t be able to reveal and expand the power of the customer feedback loop. The second stage is the second leverage— keeping your customers informed about what’s coming next for your product and building transparency with your audience.

This new addition to the product creates a better atmosphere for your audience where you keep them informed, engaged, and excited.

3. AI Writing Assistance

And finally, the last (but not least) step of the customer feedback loop— making announcements and product updates. Product updates are the phase where we are the strongest and the reason you are with us today. With that in mind, we sought ways to improve your experience with writing product updates. And our little friend is the result of this brainstorming! 

Hence, we were more proud than ever to introduce our AI assistant this year. He is not only a major improvement in shortening the time you spend writing product announcements, but he also is a milestone of what will happen in the future.

Hey, everyone. We've recently updated our Terms and Conditions, and we wanted to let you know about the changes that will be effective as of next week.

We've made some changes to our customer service policy and updated our third-party customer service provider from Intercom to Hubspot. Be sure nothing will change on your side when you're reaching out to us. But, on our side, this will help us serve you better by providing more efficient customer service, and we're confident that you will be happy with the results.

Let us know if you experience any inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
