 How to Ask Fans to Pre-Save

1. Use a Clear & Catchy CTA

“ Pre-save my new single now & be the first to hear it!”
“ Help me blow up on Spotify—hit that pre-save button!”

2. Add a Benefit or Hook

“You’ll get the song in your library before anyone else.”
“I’ll DM a thank-you video to every fan who pre-saves.”

3. Post It Often—but Differently Each Time

  • IG Stories: Add swipe-up or link sticker
  • Reels/TikTok: Use teaser audio with link in bio
  • Countdown Posts: “3 Days Left to Pre-Save!”
  • Email List: Send direct link with preview art/snippet


 Smart Ideas to Boost Pre-Saves

  • Offer a reward: Free download, shoutout, behind-the-scenes video
  • Run a contest: “Pre-save and enter to win a merch pack”
  • Cross-promote with another artist: Double the exposure
  • Document the process: Build excitement with BTS content
  • Gamify it: Create a “mystery drop” or fan challenge


 Don’t Make These Mistakes

  • Don’t hide the link—put it everywhere (bio, story, comments, emails)
  • Don’t use boring copy like “click here”
  • Don’t assume fans will do it without a reason
