When are the automatic booster emails sent?
The booster emails can incentivize the participants of your "Tempting Giveaway", "Startup Pre-launch" and "Leaderboard Giveaway" campaigns to keep sharing their unique URL with their friends in order to increase their chances of winning the prizes you offer in the campaign, get earlier access to your product etc.
Automatic booster emails are sent, well, automatically, every few days. You can set this interval from the "Booster emails" step of the campaign wizard. In general, the following rules apply:
The interval between two subsequent mailings can't be less than 5 days. The reason is to protect participants from feeling they receive too many emails from you, which might make some of them make spam reports.
The first booster email is sent X days (however you have set X to be) after the participant joins the campaign and every subsequent email is sent X days after that.
The emails are sent at around the same time of the day as the time the participant first joined the campaign so that people won't get annoying email notifications when they're asleep.
Note: If you choose the manual option, instead, then a "Boost" button will appear in your campaign's dashboard after the equivalent number of days you set in the "Booster emails" step of the campaign wizard ("Email them after X days" section).
Why do booster emails not work?
Booster emails are available on the Tempting Giveaway, Leaderboard Giveaway and Startup Prelaunch. They serve as a "reminder" or "booster" for your participants to keep inviting their friends.
When going on the "Boost campaign" step what you see is this:
There, you may set number of days of delay before emailing a participant again (that number cannot be less than 5) and choose whether you want them to be sent automatically or manually.
Now here is the tricky part!
What you have to do, is "Edit booster Emails" and edit both segments. Depending on the template, these two segments can be referred to as "More than average, Below average" or "Top of the Waitlist, Rest of the participants" but the concept is the same.
You need to review both segments and edit them so they can appear as "Reviewed" on the menu:
and of course, don't forget to Save your campaign!
So, booster emails do work, provided that you edit both segments, as mentioned! 😊

..and that's all 😎
