Make Your List a “Velvet Rope”

by | Sep 10, 2010 | Marketing & Selling

The velvet rope has become the symbol of exclusiveness. Only special people get beyond the velvet rope.

Well, one way to entice people to opt-in to your list and stay subscribed is to make being on your list a “velvet rope experience.”

Give your subscribers something that is exclusively for them … you don’t offer or provide it anywhere else. This could be an exclusive gift or discount. It could also be advanced notice of things to come.

Make the people on your list feel special. Remember, they are special. They’ve trusted you with their email address and invited you into their email box.

Here are some ideas for making your list a “Velvet Rope”:
