How to boost OnlyFans engagement with a holiday wishlist

Are you looking for new ways to connect with your fans this holiday season? Consider making a wishlist that your subscribers can contribute to. Not only can this help you stock up on items you need for your OnlyFans business, but it’s also a great way to encourage engagement. 

This tactic helps encourage active participation while fostering a festive atmosphere for your page, strengthening your fandom’s sense of community in the process. 

Let’s dive in to how you can use holiday gift-giving to create a memorable holiday season for your fans—and help you succeed on the platform. 

How to set up your holiday wishlist

First, you have to set up your wishlist on a public wishlist platform. Here are some tips for how to do it:

Choose the right platform

Choose a wishlist platform that offers privacy and security. Here are a couple of the most popular options:

• Amazon Wishlist: This option is widely used and easy to set up. While security is generally high, there are workarounds if fans really want to figure out your address, which has caused concern for some Creators. 

• Throne: Throne is designed specifically for content creators and offers top-notch security.

When setting up your wishlist, use a username that doesn't reveal any personal information. Many Creators opt for their OnlyFans username or a variation of it. 

It’s best to have your mail delivered to a post office, PO box, or pickup point so that there’s no way that fans can access your home address.  

Curate your wishlist items

Your wishlist is an extension of your brand, so choose items that align with your content and persona. Consider including:

• Props for future content: Want to know what fans will want to buy most? Items that they’ll see in your upcoming shoots. Think sexy outfits, sex toys, and other accessories. 

• Tech gear to improve your content quality: This could include cameras, lenses, lighting, tripods, and more. 

• Self-care items: Your fans want you to look (and feel!) your best, so ask for your favorite moisturizer, deep conditioner, or body lotion. 

• Fun, quirky items that reflect your personality: The gifts you request don’t have to be related to your OnlyFans work. Some fans might just want to get you something you’ll love!

Mix in items at various price points to accommodate different fan budgets. This inclusivity make it so that more fans can participate in gift-giving.

Promote your wishlist

Once your wishlist is set up, let your fans know about it! Follow these steps to make sure your wishlist gets plenty of exposure:

1. Create a pinned post on your OnlyFans homepage with a link directing fans to your wishlist

2. Share teasers on other social media platforms, directing fans to your OnlyFans for the full wishlist

3. Mention your wishlist in your bio or a highlight reel

Remember to express excitement about the idea of fans contributing to your content creation process to help encourage fans to participate. 

Get your fans involved in creating your wishlist

Involving your fans in the wishlist creation process can significantly boost engagement and make them feel more connected to your content.

Setting up the vote

1. Create a list of potential wishlist items

2. Set up a poll on OnlyFans or social media

3. Promote the voting process across your platforms

Engagement ideas

• Share your thoughts on each item and how you'd use it in content

• Create a bracket-style tournament for items, with fans voting in "rounds". This is particularly engaging for outfits or sex toys. 

• Offer a reward for fans who participate in the voting process

Implementing fan choices

• Add the winning items to your wishlist right away

• Create content featuring the fan-chosen items

• Thank your fans for their input and show how it impacts your work

Reward gift-givers with exclusive content

One of the best ways to encourage fans to give gifts is by offering rewards for the people who participate. It’s a win-win: your fans feel appreciated, and you boost engagement. 

Tiered reward system

Try offering rewards is through a tiered system.

1. Small gifts (under $50): When someone sends you a small gift, send them a personalized thank-you message and a exclusive photo

2. Medium gifts ($50-$100): For medium-sized gifts, consider creating a short, personalized video message and early access to an upcoming post.

3. Large gifts ($100+): Give high-value gift-givers with a shoutout on your page or on social media. Offer them a short, personalized thank-you video and give them access to a video that you usually sell as PPV. 

Want to make sure you haven’t already sent the content to them? With Infloww, you can easily track which pieces of PPV content have been sent to each fan. 

VIP experiences for top gift-givers

For fans who go above and beyond, consider offering VIP experiences:

• One-on-one video call (time-limited)

• Personalized signed merchandise

• Input on a future content piece

Make sure that these rewards align with your comfort level and content boundaries.

Leveraging gifted items for content creation

Gifts from fans can be a goldmine for content ideas. Here's how to make the most of your gifted items after the holiday season has wrapped up:

Unboxing content

Later we’ll go into detail about hosting a gift-opening livestream, but you can also simply create videos of you opening gifts and share them with your fans. Make sure to show your genuine reaction and express your appreciation. To really make your fans feel special, give each one a shoutout as you unbox their gift.

Content featuring gifts

Let’s be real, lots of fans want to buy you sexy outfits and sex toys so they can see you wearing or using them. Make sure to show off these gifts in your upcoming content and remind your fans that they were purchased from your wishlist. When fans see you using a sex toy that was purchased for you as a gift, they’ll realize that they can buy you one too and see you use it on camera. 

Behind-the-scenes looks

Fans love to get a peek behind the curtain to see how your content is made. Here are some ideas:

• Show how gifted tech or equipment improves your content quality

• Share your process of incorporating new items into your setup

• Create time-lapse videos of setting up elaborate scenes with gifted props

Host a gift-opening livestream

Once the holiday season is coming to a close, you can keep the engagement coming by opening your gifts in a livestream to keep fans involved in the process. 

Planning your livestream

1. Set a date and time that works for most of your audience

2. Promote the event at least a week in advance

3. Create anticipation by teasing unopened gifts on your feed

During the livestream

• Start by thanking your fans for their support

• Open gifts one by one, giving sincere reactions and shout-outs

• Share stories or anecdotes related to the gifts

• Engage with the live chat, answering questions and acknowledging comments

VIP livestream

• If you received sexy outfits or toys, allow VIPs into an “after hours” stream where they can watch you try them on or use them. 

After the livestream

• Post a recap for fans who couldn't attend live

• Share highlights or funny moments as separate posts

• Use newly received items in upcoming content to show their impact
