Can you believe the holidays are just about here?!
I’d love to hear what special plans you have for your patrons for the holidays!
Whether it’s exclusive merch, a special offer, a virtual show, a postcard, ect. – thread it here. I’m hoping we can share ideas and help creators that aren’t so sure about what special holiday thing they can do.
I am planning on doing another special offer for the holidays and I’m going to offer digital artwork that states “Welcome New Patron!” that features a character from a TV series or a movie. I’m hoping that this could grab people’s attention.
I sent my patrons a holiday card that uses the Korean calligraphy style that they’ve been seeing me work on over the past 3 months. All tiers will receive one.
I write to patrons of certain tiers every month. This month I sent an extra lil Christmassy note thanking them for their support. Hoping next year I might have the funds to send notes to everyone over Christmas, not just the higher tiers, but it wasn’t possible this year.
Since I had surgery and am now sharing my home (so I no longer can just shoot photos & videos when/where I please), I’m re-releasing past holiday goodies. I polled my Patrons and they don’t seem to mind. Many of them are new so they’ve never seen this content before and it works out.
Normally I would shoot photos and a video or two in some festive lingerie with my tree.
@dekilah Yesss, love recycling content and benefits! New patrons will love it and recurring patrons will enjoy a new twist on something familiar! Thanks for sharing
@PamelaAaralyn What a holiday deal! Do you mentor patrons? Mentorship is something we’ve been exploring, I’d love to chat and learn more about how you’re doing this!
@sarah.taylor this is so cool! do you have an image you can share with us? I’d love to see what that calligraphy looks like.
@reyna Yes I’ve been a spiritual teacher for 20 years. I’ve mentored for about half of that time and brought over 80 percent of my clientele to my Patreon page. I had no idea if they’d come, but they did! We love it! The Christmas package I offered was 40 percent off for one on one mentorships to anyone who joins or is already a member. The offer has a deadline for booking by the end of December. It’s been an open offer for four days now and I’m 90 percent booked.
Every year, I design a postcard that sort of reflects the main theme of my work that year, and mail it to my patrons. These went into the mail yesterday morning:
I’m a photographer and every month I send small prints to higher tiers. For year end, I sent everyone a print, with a short letter thanking them for their support and wishing them great things in 2021. This is what this year’s “wishes card” looked like:
Many of them are new so they’ve never seen this content before and it works out.
