Scaling

How to scale your boots brand email list without paying for ads

When your boots brand is scaling, you need a predictable way to grow your list. Depending on paid ads for signups is too costly. Instead, use your existing video assets to drive organic traffic at scale. By creating a wide reach through a managed network, you get more eyeballs on your site, making it easier to grow your list of subscribers consistently.

The problem

Boots brand, scaling: the email list grows too slowly.

01

Why scale requires organic volume

As you grow, your ad spend will likely rise, but your conversion rates might fall. This is why you need a secondary source of growth. Your email list is the perfect answer. By driving organic traffic through a managed network, you are getting visitors who are already interested in your brand. These people are much more likely to sign up for your emails than someone who clicked a random ad. This helps you build a high-quality list that you can market to for years.

02

The mechanics of high-volume growth

A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This is the key to scaling your list without blowing your budget. You are leveraging dozens of pages to funnel people to your site, giving you a steady stream of new subscribers every single day.

03

What to send a provider to start

Send TIDE a mix of your most successful videos. Include clips that have already driven sales, as these are likely to drive signups too. Also, include some educational content about your boots. The provider will handle the distribution across a large network of pages. This ensures that your brand is constantly in front of a new audience. The more you scale the number of pages, the more traffic you get, which translates into a faster growing email list.

04

Optimizing for conversion

Once you have the traffic, make sure your site is ready for it. Your sign-up form should be simple and your offer clear. If you drive a lot of traffic but no one signs up, you have a conversion problem, not a traffic problem. Use the constant stream of visitors from your network to A/B test your sign-up forms. This is how you optimize your growth and ensure that every new visitor you get from your organic network is being converted into a valuable, long-term customer.

Questions brands ask next

Is this list growth sustainable?

Yes. Because you own the network and the list, you are building a proprietary asset. It is far more sustainable than renting an audience from an ad platform.

How many pages should I start with?

Start with as many as the provider recommends for your brand size. You can always scale up as you see the results and refine your content strategy.

Does this work for all boot styles?

Yes. Whether you sell high-end luxury boots or rugged outdoor gear, the content network works by getting your specific product videos in front of the right audience.
