How it works in practice

A visitor lands on your site and sees an intriguing pop-up: a blurred product image or a playful riddle. Curiosity kicks in. They interact. The product is revealed alongside a VIP-only -15% offer, but there’s a catch: they need to sign up via WhatsApp to claim it. Once they do, they instantly receive a confirmation message and get tagged as VIP. From that point on, they’re on a dedicated list - excluded from generic launch emails and guaranteed early access with exclusive pricing.

1

Spark curiosity with a gamified pop-up: A pop-up appears on your site with a blurred product image or a riddle like “What am I?”. It’s designed to stop the scroll and get visitors to engage.

2

Reveal the product with a VIP-only offer: After interaction, the pop-up updates to show the new product and a –15% VIP discount. To unlock it, the visitor must complete a WhatsApp sign-up form.

3

WhatsApp opt-in form submission: The visitor submits their name, phone number, and explicit consent to receive WhatsApp messages. This triggers the VIP registration event in your system.

4

Instant WhatsApp confirmation: As soon as the form is submitted, a WhatsApp message confirms their VIP status and reminds them they’ll get the -15% code before anyone else.

5

Tag, segment, and prepare for launch: The contact is automatically tagged whatsapp_vip_launch_list. They won’t receive generic launch emails, only the exclusive VIP discount code, delivered first.
