Three more tips to boost gift membership sales 🎁

Hey media maker, 

The holiday season is here, and gift membership sales are taking off! Since December 1, traffic on Steady’s gift pages has soared by 500%, and we expect it to keep climbing. This is your moment to shine—with the right strategy, you can make this season a sales success, just in time for Christmas.

Here are three quick tips to help you sell more gift memberships (plus some exciting updates from Steady):

1. Promote, promote, promote!

If you want to sell more memberships, you’ve got to talk about them—loudly and often. The same goes for gift memberships. Here’s how to make sure your audience knows they’re available:

• Add a link to the gift page to all your bios.

• Share posts and stories on social media multiple times a week (yes,  it’s okay to repeat yourself!).

• Send at least two promotional emails through Steady—one today and another on December 23 for last-minute shoppers.

Short on time? No problem! We’ve got templates for posts, emails, and even gift cards to save you time. You’ll find them here (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).

2. Create a sense of urgency

The holiday rush is real, and timing is everything! Inspire your audience to act fast with these tips:

• Post a “Countdown to Christmas” series on your stories.

• Use catchy phrases like “Only X days left to give the perfect gift!” to inspire action.

• Highlight how gift memberships make thoughtful, last-minute presents for busy shoppers.

3. Keep it real

Remember, your unique voice and creativity are what make your work special. Share how memberships directly support you as a media maker. When your audience understands the impact of their gift, it makes their action even more meaningful.

It’s easy and worth it—I promise! Check out our FAQs (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) or everything you need to know about gift memberships.
