Overview

Embedding your pre-save widget strategically on your website can maximize fan engagement and conversion rates. This guide covers the best locations and tips for placing your embedded pre-save in Sonikit to get the most out of your campaign.


1. Homepage: Capture Fans Immediately

Your website’s homepage is often the first place fans visit. Placing a pre-save widget here ensures maximum visibility and encourages immediate action.

Tips:

  • Position the embed above the fold, near your latest release announcement or hero banner.

  • Pair the widget with strong calls to action like “Pre-save Now” or “Be the First to Hear.”

  • Use a full layout embed to make the pre-save stand out.


2. Release or Album Page: Contextual Engagement

If your website has dedicated pages for releases or albums, embedding the pre-save widget here aligns perfectly with fan intent.

Tips:

  • Include additional info about the release such as tracklist, release date, and artist notes.

  • Use the compact layout if the page has a lot of content to avoid crowding.

  • Link to this page from your social media and newsletters.


3. Tour or Event Pages: Cross-Promote Campaigns

Fans visiting tour or event pages are highly engaged. Adding a pre-save embed can help convert site visitors into pre-savers while they explore your upcoming shows.

Tips:

  • Embed the widget near ticket purchase buttons or event details.

  • Highlight exclusive offers (e.g., early access) alongside the pre-save.


4. Blog or News Pages: Educational Placement

If you have a blog or news section, placing a pre-save widget alongside announcements or stories about your music can boost conversions.

Tips:

  • Include a short call-to-action in the article to encourage readers to pre-save.

  • Use sidebars or footer embeds for persistent visibility.


5. Dedicated Landing Pages: Focused Campaigns

For specific marketing campaigns, creating a landing page with only the pre-save embed lets you tailor messaging and remove distractions.

Tips:

  • Optimize landing pages for mobile users.

  • Use retargeting pixels for enhanced campaign tracking.

  • Promote these pages heavily on paid ads and social channels.


Bonus Tips for Embedding Pre-Saves

  • Mobile-Friendly Placement: Ensure your embed looks good on mobile by testing responsiveness.

  • Minimal Distractions: Avoid clutter around your widget that might distract fans from clicking.

  • Multiple Embeds: You can add the pre-save widget to several pages for greater reach.

  • Test and Iterate: Use Sonikit analytics to track which pages drive the most pre-saves and adjust placement accordingly.
