Lead magnets

We implement lead magnets: a useful free item (guide, checklist, template, collection, access) in exchange for a contact. To get requests from those not yet ready to buy but ready to leave an email. Honestly upfront: we build the mechanic (offer, form, delivery), but the lead magnet itself must give REAL value — bait-and-switch scares people off; and we do not guarantee the flow/quality of leads.

Lead magnets — overview

Lead magnets — price, timeline & scope

Lead magnets is an implementation project: we design the offer and mechanic — a landing block/pop-up with the offer, a capture form, automatic delivery of the material (email/download/access), integration of the contact into your system and consent for mailing. Honestly about value, this is key: a lead magnet works only if it is genuinely useful and matches the promise — bait-and-switch (promised valuable, gave a dud) yields contacts but angers people and harms reputation; the lead magnet's content is created by you or by us separately, but it must be honest. Honestly about the result: we build the mechanic, but we do NOT guarantee the flow and QUALITY of leads and do not promise '+X% requests' — it depends on the material's value, audience, traffic; some collected contacts will be non-targeted (taken for freebies). Honestly about privacy: collecting email and mailing is user data; consent/a policy are needed (legal assessment — with a lawyer). Honestly about the essence: this is a capture mechanic, NOT creating the material itself (we can do it separately) and NOT a sales guarantee — a lead magnet gives a contact, and then work with the lead is needed (emails, sales). An important boundary: these are lead magnets, not tripwire offers (651 — separate), not email sequences/nurturing (separate) and not quiz funnels (648). If you have nothing valuable to give for free, we first think through the offer. Picture this: instead of 'just a request form that is ignored' a visitor leaves an email for a genuinely useful checklist — and enters your base with consent. The base price starts from 15,000 ₽ per project; it depends on the mechanic and integration (content creation — separate).

Problems we solve

  • Those not ready to buy leave without a contact.
  • A direct request form is ignored — no reason to leave an email.
  • There is no mechanic of exchanging value for a contact.
  • Collected contacts do not enter the system with consent.

FAQ

  • Does a lead magnet guarantee a flow of requests?

    No. We build the mechanic, but the flow and quality of leads depend on the material's value, audience and traffic; some contacts will be non-targeted. The effect should be checked with a test; we do not promise '+X% requests'.

  • Can you promise valuable and give a dud?

    No, that harms. Bait-and-switch yields contacts but angers people and harms reputation, and the collected base converts poorly. A lead magnet must honestly match the promise — otherwise there is no point.

  • Will you create the material itself?

    This service is about the mechanic (offer, form, delivery, integration). Creating the lead-magnet content (guide, checklist) is separate work: you or we can do it. But the material must be genuinely useful.
