New Features: Claim Free NFTs & Bundle Purchases
Hey frens! We just launched two new features to increase your sales and promote your latest project!
Free NFT claims and bundle purchasing. How do these work? Let’s get into it.
Free NFT Claims
Free NFT claims is exactly what it sounds like. When you sign into Mintgate, you can create a new NFT project and enable free claims for it:
This will make the first 100 NFTs free to claim:
You can also activate this for any existing projects by clicking the Update Sale button and enabling it:
That’s all there is to it. But there’s still so much more to dive into with Bundle orders and Content Tiers.
Bundles & Tiers
Sell by the bundle and let your fans access different tiers of content! You can now create four tiers of content that require your fans to hold any number of NFTs you specify.
Scroll down the project page and you’ll see the Passes section and the option to Edit Tier Levels. By default, you will have a Base Pass Tier that’s automatically set to one NFT when someone clicks to buy. This will be where fans go to purchase a single NFT to access your unlockable content available with the Base Tier.
When you click Edit Tier Levels, you’ll have the option to activate three additional tiers, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. You can specify how many are required to access this tier and add a description. The “Amount to Unlock” also becomes the amount someone will purchase when they click to buy access to this tier.
I’ve just activated the Silver Pass and Gold Pass which allow anyone to buy three or five NFTs respectively in a single order. After purchasing one of the bundles, they will be able to access content I add for this tier. They can also upgrade if they purchased the Base Pass which will mint the needed NFT passes to access the tier they want to upgrade to.
For example, I bought the Base Pass for $10 which minted one NFT pass to me. But I can now Upgrade to the Silver or Gold pass to access content at that tier. If I buy the Silver Pass, I’ll pay $20 and receive 2 NFT passes because I previously purchased the Base Pass for $10. And yes, this purchase can be made with crypto or credit card.
Now that you’ve created two new tiers, you can add content to them. Just click the + Add Content button to add a video, audio file, PDF, image, or link to external sites for any given tier:
Wash, rinse, repeat for as much content you want to add for each tier and you can add new content to any tier at any point in the future. So if someone buys access to the Gold Tier, I could add more videos to that tier to increase the value of their passes. And since these are NFTs, they become more valuable and tradable on secondary markets as I include more content they can unlock.
Free Claims + Bundle Tiers = 🔥🔥🔥
Using these features together can effectively provide a free sample to your content and give them the information they need with this to decide if they want to pay to upgrade to a higher tier for more of this type of content.
Announce your free NFT claim for only the first 100 people and add a video or PDF to the Base Tier that outlines the value you or your content brings to people. A successful hook like this can help you reel in greater sales through higher tiers or even the Base Tier after the first 100 free NFTs have been claimed. You can also turn off free claims before reaching the 100 cap in order to activate sales for the Base Tier.
Summary
Launch your project on Mintgate today and sell access to your exclusive content with NFT bundle purchases and free claims for the first 100 people that visit your project page.
