Spotify have finally released their native pre-save feature, known as ‘Countdown Pages’ which allow fans to pre-save and be notified of new music on Spotify. You can now integrate your countdown page with your pre-save campaign songlinks on Soundplate Clicks.
What is a Spotify Countdown Page?
A Spotify countdown page helps artists build excitement for upcoming releases by showing a countdown to the release date. Fans can visit the page to pre-save the music, set reminders, and get access to exclusive content like videos or merch. It’s a great way for artists to engage their audience and create buzz before their music drops.
Artists can set up a Spotify countdown page through their Spotify for Artists account. To create one, artists need at least 5,000 active listeners in the 28 last days and the EP or album must meet some other criteria. If you do not meet this criteria, or have access to this feature, simply create a standard pre-save campaign instead.
How to add a Spotify countdown page to a Soundplate Clicks Fan Link.
If you have setup a Countdown page on Spotify but still want to give your fans the option to pre-save/pre-order on other platforms like Apple Music or Deezer, Soundplate Clicks is the solution. Here’s how it works.
Start by creating a pre-save campaign in the normal way:
- Log in to your Soundplate Clicks Account
- Click to add a new music smart link.
- Set a release day in the future.
- Activate your pre-save using the options on the new link page.
- To integrate your countdown page go to the pre-save section, select this option and paste the link to your countdown page:
After you enter the url to your countdown page, the standard Spotify pre-save option on your music link will be replaced with a link taking your fans directly to the countdown page:
Why use Soundplate Clicks for pre-save campaigns with Spotify Countdown Pages?
Countdown pages are a powerful feature but not all of your fans are on Spotify.
With Soundplate Clicks you can give your fans the choice of where they want to listen to or pre-save your music.
You can also get in-depth statistics and analytics to learn more about your fans and of course, once the album is released, you can convert you pre-save campaign into a standard music smart link and continue to use the same smart url to promote music once it has been released.
