🎯My LoopCandy Beta Test: A First Look & Review
Ever wondered what it’s like to be on the inside of a software launch? I recently had that chance, participating in the LoopCandy beta test, a new campaign management and lead generation plugin from Cindy Donovan. This wasn’t just any test, however. I decided to make it extra exciting by combining the plugin with my own Luxe Travel Hacking PROMPTS freebie, and the results were eye-opening.

📝What is LoopCandy?
First, let’s define the tool. LoopCandy is a WordPress campaign management and lead generation plugin with several standout features:
- A redesigned, user-friendly admin interface.
- Full-width, modern landing page templates.
- Built-in viral sharing mechanics, including rewards, leaderboards, and referrals.
Essentially, you can think of it as the missing link between your blog traffic and your email list—but with powerful gamification baked in. 👉 For anyone looking to grow their audience, this is a tool worth watching.

My LoopCandy Beta Test Campaign
For my LoopCandy beta test, I created a campaign called Luxe Travel Hacking PROMPTS. The goal was to see how intuitively the system worked from setup to lead delivery.
- 🎁 Core Freebie: A PDF with 7 ChatGPT prompts designed to save users $500+ on flights.
- 🔑Bonus Reward: An Advanced Prompt Pack, which was unlocked after a user made 2 successful referrals.
- 🔗 Integration: I connected the campaign with Mailermatic to automatically deliver the rewards and start a welcome nurture sequence.
- 🎨 Design: Finally, I branded the landing page with my signature gold, magenta, and royal blue colors, along with the MetaThriving2dMax logo.

First Impressions from the Test
Overall, my first impressions from the LoopCandy beta test were positive, especially regarding the user experience.
- ✅ The dashboard is clean and navigation is straightforward.
- ✅ Campaign setup is remarkably fast and intuitive.
- ✅ The viral reward system works flawlessly, which is the core engine of the plugin.
- ✅ Furthermore, the full-width templates look modern and professional right out of the box.
However, as with any beta, I also identified areas for improvement:
- ⚠️ It needs more template packs for specific niches (e.g., travel, health, business).
- ⚠️ A campaign cloning option is not yet available, which would speed up testing.
- ⚠️ It is also missing A/B testing functionality for optimizing opt-in pages.
My Feedback for the Developers
As a non-WordPress user, I faced a significant hurdle: I had to purchase WP hosting just to participate in the LoopCandy beta test. This experience highlighted a major limitation of the plugin in its current form.
My Main Suggestion:👉 Create a standalone SaaS version—a hosted platform where anyone (even users of Clicksites, Kajabi, or Kartra) can create campaigns without needing their own WordPress installation.
Other feedback included:
- 🌍 Add multi-language support to help LoopCandy go global quickly.
- 🎨 Provide niche template packs for common business verticals.
- 🔄 Enable campaign cloning to speed up A/B testing iterations.
- 🧪 Include built-in A/B testing tools to help users optimize their opt-in rates.
📝 Why This Beta Test Matters
Ultimately, beta testing isn’t just about finding bugs—it’s about imagining a tool’s full potential.
With LoopCandy, I see a plugin that could become a serious player in the list-building and affiliate marketing space. For me, it was also a chance to merge AI-powered travel hacks with a viral opt-in funnel. This proves that combining creativity with the right tools is the key to sustainable growth.
