sucantare Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 This past week, I tried something new with one of my more popular gigs. Using highlighted text in my Gig Description, I offered buyers a bonus if they placed an Extra Fast order (thru February 28 only). My thinking was that people like instant gratification. However, paying $5 more for 24 hour delivery might be a bit much for a gig that is delivered in 48 hours or less anyway. This deal offered buyers an opportunity to get their instant gratification as well as some freebies on the original order.I normally get about 1 or 2 Extra Fast orders per week. In the past 5 days alone, I’ve received at least 10 Extra Fast orders. Yes, it puts me under the gun to deliver more in less time but I’m chalking this one up as a big success!I don’t plan on running specials like this often as I don’t want potential buyers to expect or wait for them. however, this was a very productive experiment for me. I recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sucantare Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think it’d be cool if Fiverr added this as a functionality to sellers. HINTHINT* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeforfun Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Isn’t that the idea behide the “Extra Fast” button on your gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingle Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I offer EXTRA FAST service for $20 for a $5 work, and people do buy this fast service without any bonus promise from me.I do provide them bonus, but never mention on Gig details.

adversity Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Excellent suggestion! This should bring added functionality and increased sales to the Express feature for many of us as it has with you 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sucantare Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just a quick update: I ended my special promotion today. Overall, I must say, it was a huge success. I look forward to doing it again in a few months. Highly recommended to sellers with a decent existing volume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
