Overview
With a Lifetime Pre-Save page, your fans can subscribe to all future releases in a single click, plus a playlist of your choice. This creates a continuous loop for collecting pre-saves & fans, ensuring steady momentum between release cycles. We currently offer Lifetime Pre-Save functionality for Spotify and Apple Music. For an example of an Lifetime Pre-Save page, click here!
Pro Tip: Include a Lifetime Pre-Save link on your websites & social media bios to make sure your top fans never miss your new releases.
Accessing Lifetime Pre-Saves
Navigate to the Marketing tab from your dashboard.
Click on Create Pages and select Lifetime Pre-Save Page from the page type options.
Note: Lifetime Pre-Saves are only available for founde.ee users on the Power tier. Upgrade your account today to access this powerful tool! For information on how to upgrade your found.ee account plan tier, click here.
Selecting a Lifetime Pre-Save Artist
Before setting up a Lifetime Pre-Save page, you must first select a Lifetime Pre-Save artist for your found.ee account. To do so, simply type the artist name in the search bar under Enable Lifetime Pre-Saves.
Important: only one Lifetime Pre-Save artist can be designated per found.ee account. With that in mind, if your company represents multiple artists, we recommend setting up separate found.ee accounts for them.
If needed, you can also change the Lifetime Pre-Save artist associated with your account. (However, note that changing the lifetime pre-save artist will reset any data collected for the previously selected artist.) To update the Lifetime Pre-Save artist, click on the Audiences tab from your found.ee dashboard, and then select My Fans. At the bottom right of this page, you will see a section titled Lifetime Pre-Saves. Click Update Artist, type in the new artist's name, and select Update.
Note: In order for the Lifetime Pre-Save tool to function properly, you must have at least one Pre-Save from the designated Lifetime Pre-Save artist in your found.ee account which has gone through the full release process.
Landing Page Design
First, choose your page layout:
Modern One-Column Layout: This layout is straightforward and clean, ideal for a focused presentation. Click here for an example!
Default Two-Column Layout: This option includes an extra widget space where you can embed multimedia content like YouTube videos, Spotify playlists, or SoundCloud tracks. Click here for an example!
Modern One-Column Layout – light version: This new layout provides a minimalist option with logo-free destination tiles and a website-style header. Click here for an example!
(Note: in the video walkthrough above, we've selected the Modern One-Column Layout.)
Then, add your header image & background:
Background Photo: Upload the image you'd like to use for your landing page background. We recommend using the same image for both the background and album artwork for consistency!
Blur background image: If desired, apply a blur effect to the background image. For example, a blur of 30% creates a stylish, soft-focus look.
Background Color: Alternatively, you can opt for a solid background color if you prefer. For this, you can use our color picker to choose a color manually or you can enter a Hex or RGBA color code.
Lastly, add your landing page text:
Header and Description: Provide a compelling header and description to engage visitors and inform them about the lifetime pre-save functionality.
For instance, you could use the artist name as the header text, and 'Subscribe to pre-save my future releases' as the description text.
Lifetime Pre-Save Setup
found.ee currently offers Lifetime Pre-Save functionality across Spotify and Apple Music. For both DSPs, you can select an album and/or playlist to be added to your fans' libraries when they complete the Lifetime Pre-Save process.
Spotify Album URI or Playlist URL: Add a Spotify album URI or playlist URL for users to save and/or follow after subscribing to the Lifetime Pre-Save.
Apple playlist URL: Add an Apple playlist URL for users to follow after subscribing to the Lifetime Pre-Save.
From there, feel free to add any additional stores, buttons, widgets, and/or social media buttons to fill out your landing page even further. Click here to learn more!
If desired, you can also adjust how your landing page is displayed to users in different countries via our Geo Pages tool. Click here to learn more!
By following these steps, you will effectively create a Lifetime Pre-Save Page that keeps your audience engaged and ready for future music releases.
