Do people still use Mention tools?
We are planning to launch a new mention tool.
The concept is simple: Tracking mentions worldwide for any given keyword or phrase. (Your company, brand, your competitor, keywords of a campaign, anything) The data is crawled from all the search engines, news websites, social media sites, blogs, forums, communities, review websites and video sites.
The launch plan is to give free subscription to 1000 users. And the platform will be closed for signups and it will be invite-only, every user gets 3 free invites. There is another option, by submitting your details and we may approve you to be a free user.
But my question here is will this low-end disruption model work? Do you guys use mention tool and if not, would you use if given a free one?
- cryptocheetah 7y agoHave you heard of awario? (www.awario.com) I've come across it in use online, but don't use it personally in any of my work. As for your question, if I had a need for it and it got the job done, I'd use it if given a free one. Best of luck.
- GreenMinion 7y agoHey, you said you don't use it for your work? Is there a specific reason for that or you just don't have the need for it in your office?
- michal_a 7y agoI use my mention tool to monitor mentions of my mention tool. I hope you don't mind, I included your post in my blog: https://medium.com/syften/how-to-monitor-your-competitors-before-they-even-exist-799a0d44a3e9 https://medium.com/syften/how-to-monitor-your-competitors-be... I don't think you should be asking if anyone would use a free account. Ask if anyone would pay.
- GreenMinion 7y agoGetting paid is the end goal obviously. But the whole idea is to show people where our tool actually stands even when it's free.
- codeplea 7y agoLots of people use mention tools. I built a tool with a much narrower scope than yours, and it has a few thousand users now.
- GreenMinion 7y agoWhat were the initial issues faced when you launched your mention tool? Is there something I should be aware of before the launch? I am just planning to get a few good people to use it to give me an idea if it will stand a chance in the market.
