@jonassc haha I feel you... I feel like it's only a good tactic if you have something truly unique that doesn't exist at all. Or if you have an amazing benefit (discounts on the product/service). But yeah, it's frustrating.

Waitlist strategies can build anticipation and allow for a controlled roll-out.

Yes, absolutely. It's gives you the opportunity to nurture your community before the launch and make a bigger noise when your product is out. Have you tried it?

Be transparent about the wait time. Let people know how long they can expect to wait before they get access to your product/service. And Offer exclusive benefits to waitlist members. This could include early access, discounts, or other perks. @steve_lourdessamy do you think it's helpful ?
Steve Lou
@farjana Thanks for your feedback! I find that offering an exclusive offer is the hardest part, (apart from giving discounts or exclusive access to your soon-to-be-famous product). Have you tried a waitlist strategy yourself?
