clever idea!

I think that's a great concept!

Maybe add a better (more obvious) stamp, with a postmark, rounded or distressed edges, or even some texture. I would have thought it was a plain squeeze page, had you not mentioned it was supposed to be an envelope. The whole concept gets a bit lost because the design is a little too simple.

Definately a good variation.
most of the time we need to be different from the rest.

Nice! Gets me thinking I need to be silly and play around more often.

looks good. but does it convert?

Great idea for mixing things up a bit. I'm surprised there isn't more variation in squeeze pages, such as post-cards type ones with a picture of an exotic location and people enter their email address in the signature area below the message. Or how about a sports car front-end pointing straight out of the picture and the would-be subscriber enters their name in the 'number-plate' field, then their email address below. You could use all sorts of cool signage.

KJ: very nice!

I once had an idea for a "museum" online, but neither the lady I was partnering with at the time nor myself knew exactly how to create the "exhibits". You could probably swing it with no problem.

Oh, and don't worry about the estamp. I was out too. The one on the envelope is a "fake"...in fact, it's a plate. LOL

It's really cool, reminds of the look of Gary Halbert's site. Looking forward to see if it converts.

I really like your idea. It's nice to see something different and I hate to say "vintage" because I feel dated. (When I was young that's was it for communication!) HAHA

Hey Tink, the envelop is certainly different.

Test it out and see how it performs.

Ultimately, that's all that really matters.

Steve, yeah. That's what I was thinking.

When folks get used to seeing the same old something the same old way, they tend to start ignoring it for the most part -- like banner ads? I get the feeling most standard squeeze pages are starting to become ignorable so decided to fiddle around to see if I could come up with something different.

Now to see if it also "works."

I agree with everybody, Great idea.
Maybe you could go to the US Postal Site
and grab an Elvis Stamp!

Oh No I meant a Real Stamp that you can lick. lol

Sheesh. What would I lick a stamp to stick on my computer monitor for? Hilarious.

By the way, if anyone's keeping track, this DOES NOT work. Don't anybody try this at home. I've had tons of visits to this page today and not ONE sign up.

You've got some rocking hot graphics on your site - great work
I've bookmarked you for the future

Do you have a rate sheet you can pm to me?

[DELETED]

it is cool and would have been much cooler if you had given some data on whether it affected the opt-ins or not.thank you.

Sweet.

Why not make the stamp a little video?
Add some red arrows pointing to the email box? (on either side; nothing too imposing)

Just some thoughts... hope it works for you

PLP,
tecHead

I would take an actual envelope graphic and stick it in there, as well as resize the stamp so its square.

It just looks like a rectangular opt-in box right now:p

It's a solid concept though, obviously you'd need to test it first.

That actually is very creative. Maybe retro will be the new way shortly to do things in the future. I imagine some people will eventually grow tired of the flash everywhere.

Wow.

Thanks to everyone for your comments on this. Maybe I've started something that will definitely increase squeeze page conversions for some of you, and if so, that's great! I'm loving the different ideas for making this really pop, creating some nice eye-candy for visitors.

Some of you designers out there might wanna pay attention here. People are saying they definitely WILL buy this sort of product if you create it. I'd do it, but I'm concentrating in a different direction right now, so I'm leaving the profits to be had to you. Gracious of me, huh?

As for conversions? Well, if you don't tell people NOT to subscribe (like I did) it starts to convert. I have had some sign-ups now. Woohoo!

Anyway, thanks again for everyone's feedback here, and do keep posting your thoughts for those designers who will be working hard to fulfill your wishes on creating new squeeze pages for ya, okay?

Great Idea!

It would be cool to try it out on a photo realistic type graphic. Like having a real envelope there (with a creased corner and some slight paper damage effect). The text could be a handwritten font too - and the signup box could be positioned as the addressee on the envelope. TO: your eMail: ----------------

Nice one!

That avatar reminds me of the newspaper pictures and paintings in Harry Potter

I agree...if only I didn't break camera lenses. <sigh> Kidding. I'm just waaay to camera shy. Anyone else wanna volunteer to point toward my opt-in box in a gif video? <WG>

Hey, I don't know if anyone else has seen it but I'm thinking a design like this would work well with ... what's that dude's name? Jason Fladlien? Something like that. Would work well with his "4 minute squeeze page" thingy. Any of you know him? He'd probably get something out of this thread, too.

Lol, I do stuff like that sometimes for a release... I get a kick out of creating videos with the wrong title and then "BAM" - big juicy cock.

LOLOLOL...j/k. THAT was my release.

Well thanks, Scott. That was just gross. Kept me out of my own thread for most of the day. 'preciate that, man. Sick.

(Someone know how to erase that, or do I really need to grab the Clorox and bleach my eyeballs?)

Tina

What a great squeeze page idea! Thanks for sharing!

very very clever.. squeeze pages are very much all the same.. sometimes we do need some variation.. "differentiation is Key"

let us know if it converts..
