What Being Featured on Product Hunt Feature Taught Us
This post was originally published by Medium.com Your CEO is in Asia, your CTO is in Europe, and your marketing team is everywhere in between. So, what do you do when you find you’ve been hunted? In this post, I will go into how we discovered we’d been featured on Product Hunt, and how we came together to get over 100 upvotes for the day and attract over 1000 new visitors. First, a little background. Mailbird is a Windows-only email client designed to make you more productive by bringing together all the apps you use to communicate, plan, schedule, and incorporating them into one easy to use platform. Over the past 4 years, we’ve continued to evolve the client by adding a fresh new look, speed optimizations, enhanced email account support, and more. To date, over 500,000 people have tried Mailbird, and our growth continues to be nothing short of amazing. The main reason for the success of Mailbird has been our amazing team, which includes members from all across the globe. Reaching across the world has not only allowed us to search out the perfect people for every role, but it also allows us to more easily expand out email client to international users. However, this global team distribution can also present problems when attempting to capitalize on something like a Product Hunt feature. Especially, when it’s not something you are expecting… Gah! We were just hunted on Product Hunt That was the message I shared with my team members…
