Perks is Now "Shop"...With Even More Upgrades!
As part of a major upgrade to our Perks feature, we’re rebranding this core feature as “Shop”!
Now, you can set up an online Shop in minutes with even more flexible options.
Here are some highlights of our recent upgrades…
Fans Can Now “Shop” Your Fan Page
We made this change to make your fan page even more intuitive.
After some A/B testing of our current feature, we saw that 33% more people clicked on “Shop” vs “Perks”…which resulted in more sales for the creator.
Not a huge surprise. Fans like to shop 🙂
1-Click Email Announcement
After you publish a new item for sale in your Shop, you can send an announcement to your entire fan list with just 1-click!
This is a super easy way to keep your fans engaged, and drive more sales on your Fanlist Shop!
Custom Checkout Field
With this new feature, you can now request additional information from buyers during checkout.
You can use this custom field in many flexible and creative ways.
For example, if you’re selling an “episode shoutout”, you can use this custom field to ask the buyer to include a message they’d want to include in their shoutout.
Or, let’s say you want to sell a physical product. You can use this custom field to collect a required shipping address.
Now Supporting FREE Products
Sometimes, the best things in life are free.
So now, we let you offer products in your Shop for free!
But why would you want to do that?
Well with this new feature, you can use your Shop as a lead gen tool to collect fan emails.
For example,
- Create a free ebook your fans might enjoy.
- Set the item price to $0 in your Shop.
- Your fans can get that item for free.
- You’ll capture that fan’s contact info in your fan list!
This is a great strategy for growing your email list!
Support for Multiple Product Images
Now, you can upload up to 6 product images to help sell your items.
People are sometimes more compelled to purchase when there is more product detail. With this new feature, you’ll be able to add a lot more visual detail to each item you sell.
Products are Now Sortable
You can now easily control the order of your products on your fan page.
Simply drag-and-drop the Shop items in your dashboard, and the new layout will be updated on your fan page.
