FIRST-PARTY DATA

Every DM becomes a customer profile.

  1. 1 · Capture

    Ask in the DM, not a form.

    Hotbox collects emails, phone numbers and opt-ins inside the conversation, while the fan is most engaged.

  2. 2 · Learn

    Know what each fan actually wants.

    Sizes, teams, the products they asked about and their questions are saved to the profile as they come up.

  3. 3 · Own

    An audience you own, not rent.

    Every profile syncs to your CRM, so the next drop starts with a list instead of a hope.

THE PRODUCT

WHAT TEAMS ASK BEFORE LAUNCH

The questions teams ask before their first drop.

Any concentrated launch where attention, scarcity, or timing creates a surge of social intent. That can include jerseys, trading cards, collectibles, tickets, tours, limited retail releases, restocks, and collaborations.

No. Hotbox handles repeatable conversations and helps your team find the moments that need judgment. You decide where the agent can act and where a person should step in.

Yes. Hotbox can be trained on your business information, preferred language, examples, and boundaries. Teams can review responses, pause the agent, or require approval for sensitive situations.

Yes, for supported triggers and channels in your configuration. Hotbox can respond to comments, open private conversations, follow up, share links, and route a conversation to a human.

The product can surface social activity, conversations, clicks, and the conversion events available through your configured links and integrations. Exact revenue attribution depends on the tracking connected to your setup.

No. The positioning focuses on the shared behavior of high-demand releases, not one industry. Sports, collectibles, live events, and retail all create concentrated moments where fans ask questions and act quickly.
