¶ Offer Validity/Access in Courses
Offer Validity/Access in Courses
The offer validity/access option in courses allows for more effective marketing campaigns and streamlined management of course access. This enables you to implement urgency in your marketing strategies, which can significantly boost your revenue by encouraging timely actions from your audience. Here’s a detailed look at leveraging this new feature to maximize your business potential.
¶ Key Features of the Validity Feature
¶ Setting Up Offer Access
With the validity feature, you can easily manage and control access to your offers and courses. Here’s how you can set it up:
1. Navigate to Offers : Go to the ‘Memberships’ tab, hover over ‘Courses’, and select ‘Offers’ from the drop-down menu.
2. Edit Your Offer : Choose the specific offer you want to edit. For instance, you might select the ‘Mini Co Magic’ course.
3. Configure Offer Access : Find the ‘Offer Access’ box. Here, you can set the accessibility for members who purchase the offer.
4. Configure offer validity based on time: You can also create offers with limited-time validity. Explore three distinct pathways designed to empower learners:
- Offers with Access Start Date Only:
- Gain exclusive access to offers starting from a specific date, or take advantage of early access opportunities.
- Offers with Access Number of Days Only:
- Benefit from short-term deals available for a specified number of days, providing limited-time accessibility.
- Offers with Both Access Start Date and Number of Days:
- Set both the start date and the number of days you want the offer to be valid.
This is particularly useful for coaches who provide access to video materials, courses, and live Zoom sessions. For example, if you have a three-month coaching contract, you can set the system to automatically withdraw access after the contract period ends. Simply enter the start date and specify the duration (e.g., 90 days for three months).
¶ Use Cases for Coaches
This feature ensures access to materials and sessions is automatically managed for coaching programs. You can:
- Set a specific start date for the coaching relationship.
- Restrict access based on the contract duration (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days).
- Automate the withdrawal of access after the specified period, ensuring you don’t have to manually track and manage access expiration.
¶ Use Cases for Launches
This feature is also highly effective for running launches. For instance, if you’re conducting a four-day challenge and want to offer access to replays for a limited time, you can:
- Set a validity period for the replays (e.g., seven days).
- Encourage participants to consume the content within the given timeframe, increasing engagement and completion rates.
- Create urgency by notifying participants that access will expire, prompting them to act quickly.
¶ Custom Values for Personalization
To elevate the student experience, the new validity feature now supports Custom Values that enable deeper personalization of offers, courses, and lessons. These values can be applied across various areas such as post descriptions, offer details, quizzes, and more. There are four types of custom values available for use:
- Contact-specific : Personalize offers and lessons based on individual user information.
- Time-based : Adjust offers or access according to specific timeframes (e.g., countdown timers).
- Course-specific : Customize content based on the course title or category.
- Location-specific : Tailor offers based on the user’s location for targeted promotions.
¶ Managing Access for Existing Members
The system seamlessly integrates the new offer validity period with existing access for members with subscriptions or purchase additional offers. This ensures uninterrupted access based on the most recent purchase, providing a smooth experience for your learners. If a member upgrades or changes to another offer for the same course, the new offer’s validity period takes priority, ensuring members benefit from the most advantageous access terms.
The new validity feature is a powerful tool for enhancing your marketing campaigns and managing course access. By implementing this feature, you can:
- Add urgency to your promotions, encouraging timely actions and increasing sales.
- Automate access management for coaching programs and course launches, saving time and reducing manual effort.
- Provide a seamless experience for your members, ensuring they always have access to the most current and relevant offers.
Utilize this feature in your upcoming promotions, challenges, and launches to see a noticeable boost in your revenue. Start integrating urgency into your marketing strategies today and watch your business grow!
¶ Revoke Individual Course Access
Admins can revoke access to individual courses within an offer without affecting the entire offer. This ensures better flexibility for managing learning permissions while maintaining the integrity of other courses.
How to Use:
- To revoke access, go to the admin panel,
- Select the course within the offer and choose the option to revoke access for users.
The user will lose access to that specific course while retaining access to others in the same offer.
