[IxDA Discuss] Email Registration

[Kim Bieler]

Jason,

It depends on the offer. If what you're offering is compelling  
enough, people will fill out more fields. If you're asking for  
personal information that doesn't seem (from the customer's POV) to  
be relevant, you've either got to do a good job explaining how  
collecting this data benefits THEM, or the offer has to be so  
worthwhile, it overcomes their resistance.
