Superfan apps the modern-day equivalent of fan club with both community and physical products that can be included with yearly subscriptions. It’s also a place that fans don’t need to pay to enter. Bring your community into your own platform that allows you to build community, sell event tickets and merchandise, live-stream video, and stream music. Each element in the app can be made available to everybody or just to paid members. Either way, your community has a home.
Revenue-Generating Power of Superfan Apps
At FanCircles we understand the potential of a superfan app and how it drives revenue and fandom. The first thing to note is that superfan apps only work when they are branded to the artist. Therefore, Fansurtles sits in the background powering artist-branded apps.
