Airlyft is a growth hacking tool for crypto startups. Within the platform there are innovative tools to run customised campaigns, distribute rewards on-chain while boosting your crypto project instantaneously.
How did you venture into this space?
Omar Salim -
Hailing previously from tech companies where traditional marketing methods work for SaaS companies, it’s a whole different ball game in the crypto world.
Marketing methods such as Airdrops, Giveaways, Competitions, Learn & Earn & so have proven to be effective but not without their own problems which include increased bot participation, inability of users to understand the tasks at hand, multiple account participations with bots, organizations backing away from token distribution after launching their airdrop & so on. All this led to us understanding the need of the hour to create a one stop tool for all marketing related activities which safeguard both participants as well as the organization.
