VIP days are a relatively new thing in the copywriting world.
Back in the old days there was no such thing, I'm pretty much sure of it.
But then someone, somewhere started banging on about VIP days and now everyone has jumped on this copywriting bandwagon.
And I get it, they're a great way to overcome the eternal problem of projects dragging on for months and months and months.
One day, done. Love it.
But are VIP days all they're cracked up to be?
