Be interested to know how that works out for you. The contest idea to bring them back is clever.

Personally if i see an under-construction, or coming soon page, i'm probably never going to be back to see what was coming (if ever it does arrive).
There's no "incentive" to bookmark a page with no information on, the web's too large and awkward to navigate that I cant myself see the point of having anything there if you're not ready for visitors ...
