Registration Forms: How to Make Them Irresistible with Scarcity
"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 Scarcity The 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 Credibility To 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 Urgency Use 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... in effect, reminding your registrants of the good decision they made in signing up right away. It will also increase your word-of-mouth power, because registrants will contact their friends and colleagues to remind them to sign up while they still can.
Be Honest with Yourself and Your Registrants Be real with your limited space. If you promote a highly-interactive seminar limited to just 25 people, and there are actually 50 people there, some attendees may feel they are not receiving the advertised value. On the other side, if only 5 people show up, the attendees may feel the scarcity statement was misleading. It is ok to somewhat overbook your event if you take into account your no-show rates. Make sure to use a waitlist to manage your capacity so you can fill the inevitable cancelled registrations.
