Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Nick from Norby here. We built Drops because we kept hearing that people wanted an easy way to get started with SMS campaigns and announcements – but felt like the existing tools were too expensive, too technical, or too spammy. Our goal with Drops is to eliminate that barrier to entry with a trustworthy, easy-to-use, and highly customizable tool that can handle just about any use case you throw at it: - Send notifications when you’re starting or joining a room on Clubhouse - Let your followers know when you’re live on Facebook or Instagram - Send daily announcements or inspiration to your followers’ inboxes - Collect signups and alert people when your website or shop goes live - Drive conversion for your playlist, video, product, or merch drops …and tons more! We’ve been delighted by all the creative ways people in our community have started using Drops just in the few weeks since we started rolling it out. User trust and safety is incredibly important to us so we’ve designed Drops from the ground up to facilitate meaningful, thoughtful connections between you and your audience. For instance, when you create a Drop on Norby, you have to specify how often you want to be able to send campaigns to people. You can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence for your Drop, and when people sign up, they’ll see exactly how often you plan to message them. You can customize just about every detail of the Drop signup experience: - Add rich content and custom branding to your Drop signup page - Set custom labels on the Drop registration and share buttons - Add a survey with custom form elements to collect data from people when they sign up - Set a custom SMS confirmation or welcome message for people to receive after subscribing You can even collect email addresses from people as well if you’d like to send campaigns over both SMS and email. Any links you share in Drops are automatically shortened and analytics-enabled, so no need to generate a bunch of Bitly links either – you can easily see clickthrough for every user as well as track overall conversion. Lastly, Drops are built to be portable, and you can share them with followers in three different ways: - Add a Drop card directly to your Norby link in bio along with your other links, events, and content - Link to a Drop signup page from swipe-ups, tweets, and newsletters - Embed a Drop card or Drop signup button on your own site using an embed code We’d love to hear what you think of Drops so let us know in the comments, and if you’re interested in trying out Norby head over to our website and request an invite! (We’ve got a surprise gift for anyone from the Product Hunt community who signs up!) Nick

It is a godsend if you are not that tech savvy or organized when it comes to your events. Norby takes care of everything I don’t want or know how to deal with

TBH Norby is the future of community building for creators and brands, online and off. It's my team's go-to one-stop-shop for our clients to engage and activate their audience via interactive content, all the while, tracking their unique customer journeys to understand what inspires and motivates them on a deeper level. Y'all need to get on it!!

@james_baduor thanks James!
Glen Creaser
This looks cool. How does the closed onboarding work?
Nick Gerard
@glen_creaser Hey Glen! Do you mean the onboarding for Norby itself or for a Drop? For Norby itself, we send invites out once a week, so if you request an invite today you can get in an upcoming batch. For Drops, it's totally customizable – if you just want to be able to notify people, you can stick to collecting just their phone number, but you can make it as complicated as you want: collect their email and you'll also be able to send email campaigns to them; add custom survey questions and segment users based on their replies on the backend; set a custom welcome/confirmation SMS message when people sign up, etc.

Huge fan of Norby! My company Bulletin just used them for our virtual trade show and had such a positive experience. Super seamless signup and SMS functionality and really high RSVP to attendee conversion.

@alana_grace thanks Alana! Thrilled to partner with you and Bulletin for the Virtual Tradeshow and so excited for what you all have in the works!

Glad to see Norby is out there building technology that is tailored towards influencers and brands that are otherwise stuck using a collection of tools that don't work together. Y'all are solving a very complex user-problem in an elegant way!

Norby is amazing. The drops are one of my favorite features and the analytics are superior to anything else out there.
