Registration Forms: How To Make Them Irresistible With Scarcity

January 19th, 2008

“Space is limited so register now” is a powerful statement to motivate registrants. Scarcity statements like this one make events appear more exclusive, important, and popular. They create a sense of urgency that will cause potential registrants to act now!Demonstrate ScarcityThe more clearly you can demonstrate that your event is exclusive - and that only a select few can attend - the faster people will sign-up. You can add believability to your space-is-limited statement by providing specifics. Spell out the actual number of people you are limiting your event to. Provide the actual reasons for limiting your event such as room capacity, web conferencing capacity, or a more intimate learning environment where no question goes unanswered.Add CredibilityTo add even more credibility, explain how your wait-listing works. Warn your potential registrants about booking non-refundable plane or hotel reservations prior to securing a spot at your event. And, if you have a history of sold-out events, definitely share that with your potential registrants.Maintain the Sense of UrgencyUse your confirmation and reminder emails to reinforce that your event is limited and that notification is important if they are not going to attend so you can let people off the wait-list. This will also reinforce the popularity and demand for your event
