Influencing beyond social: Building a powerful email list with Drawbridge

Influencing beyond social: Building a powerful email list with Drawbridge

The Challenge

This notable LA-based influencer, whose jewelry line has been seen at Paris Fashion Week and adored by global stars like Alix Earle, Selena Gomez, Candice Swanepoel, Sarah Hyland, and Tate McRae, faced a familiar challenge: how to grow her audience beyond social media.

With millions of followers and viral reach, her social presence was strong. But she wanted more than likes and views, she wanted a direct way to reach fans, build lasting connections, and drive meaningful sales through email marketing.

Her goal: grow her email list quickly and effectively.

The Solution: A Giveaway with Drawbridge

This influencer turned to Drawbridge, the ultimate giveaway platform, to launch her first digital contest.

  • Built in minutes – She created a custom branded giveaway form in under 10 minutes.
  • Seamless brand continuity – The landing page matched her aesthetic, extending her social style into her owned channels.
  • Video background - Video-enabled landing page through Drawbridge made the contest extra unique and attention grabbing
  • Effortless promotion – With just a few social posts to announce the contest, the campaign was ready to take off.
  • Maximized conversion rates - The captivating landing page reinforced her brand and trust, resulting in an almost 60% conversion rate to email sign ups - double the average of a traditional giveaway page.

The Results

The giveaway proved that a simple, well-executed contest can spark major results:

  • 56% conversion rate from page visitors to giveaway entrants (double the average for a giveaway page)
  • Nearly 300 new email sign-ups in a matter of days
  • Boosted traffic to her jewelry brand’s website
  • Engaged her fans beyond likes and follows, turning them into subscribers with long-term value

“I couldn’t believe how easy it was. In under 10 minutes, I built the landing page form that was totally reflective of the brand, from colors to fonts, and had a video display background to highlight the prize - our diamond tennis necklace. It looks exactly like our website and social campaigns, so the brand experience was seamless. Our followers are very savvy and they could tell the page was legit from us, and not spam or an impersonation.”
