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 (Opens in a new window).

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 (Opens in a new window) or everything you need to know about gift memberships.
