Best way to ethically promote a sale in an Aweber sequence
I'm trying to figure out the best way to roll a time-limited promotion into an email sequence. Like most people, I use Aweber and Wordpress.
ETHICS: Although tech-savvy people can always get around this, I want the promotion to actually be time-limited for each subscriber on my list. So if the sale is 4 days, when they click a link on the 5th day it takes them to a page telling them the sale is over.
ONE IDEA: I think this is one example that might work, but I'm open to suggestions.
The idea is to create a URL such as www.MySite.com/sale.php
When I tell people about the sale via autoresponder, I link to that same site but I also insert a date variable afterwards using Aweber's customization code {!date sd+0}
So the link would look like www.MySite.com/sale.php?2-2-2012
Now, the redirect script would extract the date and calculate the time difference between the current date and the extracted date embedded in the URL.
If it was 4 or less, it redirects to a sale page.
If it was 5 or more, it redirects to a page that says "Sorry, the sale is over".
THE OBVIOUS: The smart person can easily change the URL manually. Once redirected, the smart person can simply copy down the actual URL of the sale page.
But we have to take imperfect action, and to me this is one way to implement something like Frank Kern's 4DCM into Aweber.
Any other ideas?
