That’s unfortunate. If you have a prize that you will give away at some unspecified point in the future, you can hold onto them longer. Have an unsubscribe confirmation email say, “I hereby acknowledge that by un-subscribing, I take forfeit my chance of winning the $300 Target gift card that will be awarded some time in the next few months.”

Shame about that – luckily mine hasn’t dropped too much after contests because I promised more (eventually ) and the readers of my blog are too lazy to unsubscribe.

Your RSS count still shows as 132 for me by the way.

As long as good articles are going to be written on this blog, I’ll remain subscribed.

Oh by all means, if you are subscribed by RSS unsubscribe from my email subscription! I would! no point in having both.

Well, I have your feed on Bloglines for a while now and I subscribed by mail just for the contest (not the recent one, the one before that!) and I was actually thinking of unsubscribing too In fact, had I not been too lazy, I would have done that already. Whats bad about subscribing my mail is that the mail reaches me hours after I’ve read your post through your feed

I dont think this really happens. No one unsubscribe, unless you pollute there feed with kinda posts which doesnt make any sense for them. So its always better to look ahead and keep your concentration on good content. At the same time promotion of blog is also important. Anyways , even though the contest is over, I am not gonna unsubscribe … All the best.

I’m still subscribed to your feeds, psp, netvibes and feed demon. It’s a shame they’ll be missing more of your interesting posts though. But at least you’re contest worked.

I’m still subscribed, via email and via my RSS reader. I do however, plan to unsubscribe via email as I obviously don’t need both, just signed up for the emails for the competition.

I’ll still continue to subscribe in Bloglines though.

Always a disappointment. I am keeping a monthly contest, where you can win if you are subscribed, so that will hopefully keep my subscribers around.

Yeah it is. Would make competitions so much more beneficial. I’ll think of a really nice competition soon to utilize RSS subscriptions.

Will give it a while though, don’t wanna overrun the blog with contests.

Yeh Coffeesh0p you’ve been subscribed right from the start! thanks

As the blog grows I will certainly be rewarding my longtime readers more
