How to maximize sales and impact after being featured on AppSumo?

Today we got featured on AppSumo, where we are offering an exclusive deal for a short period of time for our product Credible

Other than standard promotions which we all do (email, social media shoutout, etc.), I am curious what other indie hackers here have done to maximize sales and impact after being featured on AppSumo. Would love to learn from the community.

    I think appsumo Workshop best in Long Term if you have something to upsell/crosssell to Those new customers , After the Deal is Over

    I saw a founder in one interview (can't remember which one) where he said that he INTENTIONALLY went to AppSumo & set up a low price. The purpose was for as many visitors to start using him (he had something like a widget), so that competitors could see that & and for them to adopt him as well (using the regular price). That's exactly what happened.

    I really hope you have some version of "powered by Credible" on the widgets you display on customers websites, because else you're missing on a huge acquisition source.

      Luckily we do :) I will make sure it stays there. Thanks for the tips!
