UpViral is a Complete Solution

It has been a very positive experience. Having used software where technical support is dismissive at best and non existent at worst, UpViral's team and consultants are switched on to our needs. They listen and respond. Wilco's online record speaks for itself. Campaign Consultant, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] too has a proven track record of lead generation. These top professionals make themselves available to us regularly. If you are struggling, their tech support is responsive the same day.

PROS

The optin and social share templates which have come on stream mean that coding is a thing of the past. It also does much more than grab leads. It is designed to stimulate word of mouth referrals. As most marketers know, this remains the most power method of gaining meaningful leads.

CONS

At first, the interface was a little daunting. However the team hold a weekly co pilot show where any ideas etc are taken on board.

Reasons for switching to UpViral

Pricing, Quality, Ease of Use, Results

Viral lead generation made easy and fun. UpViral is a solid tool for this.

Overall I think this is one of the best tools out there for viral lead generation. If you want to build your email list faster, it's a great idea to encorporate viral list building in your business, by using contests and other viral campaigns. UpViral has been around for years, has a very good customer support and the owner/creator Wilco creates great training for customers, so you can always improve your marketing skills.

PROS

To be honest, the main reason I like this tool is that the whole set up is smooth and doesn't take much time. You can get a quality viral lead generation campaign up in running fast, by just using the templates and standard settings and making a few customization. Upviral makes it easy, offers enough documentation and has a very user-friendly interface. Once you play around with it for some hours, you'll feel like you know this platform and can really start creating new campaigns fast (including cloning your successful campaigns and then just changing some details). Overall this is a modern, solid tool that works great for beginners and also offers advanced settings in case you need it later.

CONS

There's not much that I dislike. It's all pretty solid and you can see a lot of research and testing went into the development of this tool. It's also frequently updated. I would personally like to see a couple of extra social sharing methods being added and be able to customize the points system more. I need to add that having more options doesn't always guarantee you get better results, because it's often better to stick to proven settings instead of trying to come up with something unique. Pricing could also be a little bit lower, but you pay for a high-quality tool and with the amount of viral leads you can collect, this quickly pays back your investment.

Thanks, we highly appreciate your honest review :)

Happy with the contest program & customer support

Generally speaking I like the testing and experience that Upviral is offering. The ideas and frameworks are good, but as with anything, it will all still require your own hard work to implement and execute a successful campaign.

PROS

I liked the promise of the product. UpViral appears to be an experienced and reputable organisation with clear insights of how to leverage opportunities. I had purchased a one time offer for the 'Contest' program and found the information helpful.

CONS

Initially I had some issues with the subscription service. I didn't notice/realise that I was subscribing to a service (That I didn't need), however I cancelled the subscription and the great news is that I received good support and a refund.

You can't live without Upviral! Period.

I have launched several campaigns for friends, clients and myself. Results and excitments are always there like clockwise.

PROS

To put it in a nutshell, if you vever had experienced your leadgen campaign skyrocketibg your figures ro the moon... thta is that you don't use Upviral. Easy fix? Give it a try right now, the price is an insanity of a bargain compared to the pleasure of use ans the results achieved. Final words : I am 200% biased, as I have purchased the whole [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] amazing killerapps suites for years (Connectio, Upviral, etc.). And I love each of them so much!

CONS

Honestly? None. I have a lifetime licence... maybe the subscription model...

Reason for choosing UpViral

Everything [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] does is great foe business and happiness of use.

I love UpViral

I have an eBook lead magnet that comes with 6 Free Bonuses and 3 Offers. I sell the eBook for $4.99 to weed out tire kickers. Now I use UpViral to promote the eBook by giving away the FREE Bonuses and a few chapters as prizes for sharing. And if they like the free chapters and Free Bonuses they can click through and buy the book to get access to everything. UpViral has allowed me to save thousands of wasted dollars on advertising to my lead magnet - now I advertise my UpViral Campaign and get endless leads and sales - If you want more sales - then get UpViral NOW

PROS

It is so easy and fast to create viral campaigns. The step-by-step process makes it fast. The page builder is easy to use and creates amazing-looking pages in seconds. The analytics allows me to know exactly what is going on at all times.

CONS

Nothing needs improving - just keep up the amazing work you are doing.

Case Study: my client increased leads by 192% with UpViral over a plain Facebook ad campaign

CASE STUDYIn Kenya, a Nairobi restaurant wanted to increase visibility to its target market and increase its mailing list. Facebook ad campaign + viral giveaway consisting of 2 dinners for two. The campaign lasted for 42 days. Results: We targeted a group of 25-44 living in the Nairobi area with an interest in food, restaurants, and eating out. We reached 205431 people, 6549 clicked on the ad, and were sent to the giveaway page on UpViral. 5462 opted-in (left their name and email) and started social and email sharing to collect points. The viral loop was started and, at the end of the campaign, we had 21903 visitors to the giveaway campaign generating 5231 leads. Of these leads, 1792 came directly from Facebook advertising, and 3439 leads came from the viral giveaway campaign. So the client received a 192% increase in leads over a plain Facebook ad campaign.

PROS

UpViral is very performant (see my Case Study), and easy to use.

CONS

UpViral could probably use more pre-made campaigns.

Great Software

Great support and continual development of this software. I bought it when it first came out and where it is today is a massive evolution.

PROS

Has integrations with just about every autoresponder and CRM. Super easy to use and a great editor with split testing. contest rules are easy to set up and extra incentives are useful too.

CONS

I'd like the ability to have the fraud detection on but not blacklist people straight away. It would be nice to have a list of possible fraud that I could review and decide if I want to block them. Kind of like a grey list.

Tried them all, recommend UpViral

PROS

We tried every 'contest' software available, but UpViral is hands down the easiest to implement, and gives us the integrations and reporting we need to keep improving our promotions.

CONS

Originally, the design options were limited, so it was difficult getting the landing pages to fit with the brands we were promoting. But the product team is continually improving the software, and the drawbacks are so minor considering the results we are getting!

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind words, Greg. We'll share them with the rest of the team :) Keep crushing it with UpViral!

I've used it over the years for several different contests. Now I rely on it for a big annual launch of a single product.

PROS

Collects leads on auto pilot. People love contests!

CONS

You have to know what your offer is and it has to align with the contest. Otherwise, the leads won't convert. But I guess that could also be seen as a pro.
