I've been thinking a lot about the Promotions and all the Ideas and I really like them all.
But I've been having doubts about the promotions involving spending the money on coupons and 'Save £2 when you Join', etc. As much as I like this I think that this is really only an extremely short-term solution. What happens if most of them use the coupon and never come back?
I really think the £2000 should be used towards providing Workshops, Tutorials and Helping to make the site look and feel better as a whole. Educating the Members on the site would create a better site overall in the long-run and create more long-term buyers and loyal customers.
I understand the negative side to this is that it's long-term and results are not quite as instant, but I would rather think people are becoming loyal to the site and not just joining to take advantage of a freebie voucher.
Although I could be wrong and Coupons, etc could create 1000 new buyers who stay loyal
hehe.
