In 2026, presaves are a standard industry tactic. While pre-saves are vital for feeding platform algorithms, they have one major flaw: they are passive. A track might land in a fan’s library, but without a prompt, that fan may never actually hit play.
To solve this, Soundplate Clicks includes a powerful “Music Reminders” feature that places your release directly into your fans’ digital lives.
The Power of the Active Reminder
Unlike a pre-save, which works silently in the background, a calendar reminder is an active prompt.
- Direct Notifications: A calendar reminder pops up on your fan’s phone exactly like a meeting or personal appointment, giving them a physical notification to listen to your music.
- Zero Login Friction: One of the biggest barriers to pre-saves is the requirement for fans to log in to a streaming account and grant third-party permissions. Calendar reminders require no login and no third-party app connection, making them a high-conversion alternative for privacy-conscious fans.
- Platform Agnostic: While pre-saves are limited to specific services like Spotify, Apple Music, or Deezer, calendar reminders work for everyone. Whether your fan uses Amazon Music, Tidal, or Bandcamp, they can set a reminder that links them back to your smart link on release day.
How it Works for Fans
When a fan visits your Soundplate Clicks pre-save link, they will see an option to “Set a release reminder”. They simply select their preferred calendar app and a reminder is instantly scheduled for your release day.
Crucially, this calendar entry includes a link back to your smart link, making the journey from notification to stream seamless.
How to Set Up Your Reminder Campaign
Setting up “Music Reminders” is free and integrated directly into your Soundplate Clicks workflow:
- Create a New Link: Log in to your Soundplate Clicks account and start a new smart link.
- Set a Future Release Date: Enter your release date. The reminder system only triggers for future dates.
- Enable the Feature: Look for the “Enable release date reminders” checkbox in the link settings and ensure it is toggled on.
- Promote Your Link: Share your pre-save link across social media. Fans can now choose to pre-save, set a calendar reminder, or both.
- Finalize on Release Day: On or before the release day, simply add your final platform links (Spotify URI, Apple Music URL) to the dashboard. The system handles the rest, ensuring your songlink is active and ready.
