Agreed, I was very interested until I discovered the only option to sign up for future notification was nearly complete access to Facebook. I would love to get future invites but it would be great if there were alternatives for signing up.

We've tested the page, and this converts no worse than the alternatives.

  What were the alternatives? Requests like that are a huge turn-off for me. Ask me for my email, sure. Ask for the ability to post spam on my wall and I've just closed the tab. It may convert alright, but it also drives away potential customers. Why not give me the option to subscribe by email?

    I'm guessing it's because you're likely not their target audience. A lot of people are more than happy to let whoever asks have permission to spam their Facebook feed with free advertising.

      We don't spam anyone's Facebook feed, for the record. We will post something if and only if you click "post to Facebook."

        Whether you do or not is really immaterial. You ask for permission to, which people will always assume the worst about.

        Why don't you wait until the first time that they user wants to post something before asking for Facebook details. I'm sure you are completely honest, and wouldn't abuse the permissions you've been granted. But I don't like giving out any more personal details (phone #/email address/Facebook profile) than I absolutely have to. But then I guess I'm not really your target audience either.
