would be cool if the guys gave us a christmas sale...maybe for a few days this week
buy one/get one free
OR
50% off all items in the shop
;D ;D ;D
-
Sounds like a wonderful idea, bobbler! Being a broke college student, I don't know what I could afford, but still sounds great.
-
I hear some one say sale ! LOL I would so be there !
-
I own most things a man can have ;) But the new room for half of the price... yess!
-
And maybe they could have a January sale as well :) ;D
-
Might be a good oncentive for new members to become premium. No use in buying clothes and/or poses if you can't use them. But if you become premium and can fill your cupboards with clothes and your 'arsenal' with poses, I know I would join instantly... What about a summer and wintersale?
-
The only sale that would be appropriate, would be on Subscriptions... as only the Free members have anything to buy. Those of us who are Premium either have everything, or have what we want. I personally dont want anything else they've got in the shop, so I'm waiting on new stuff.
-
Well the big idea in support of the sale would be that there are some things most everyone might be willing to buy if they were just a little cheaper. (I for one might consider several of the recent outfits that are just too pricey at normal cost.)
That said I'm just not holding my breath. The store is their big money maker and I doubt a sale would generate THAT much revenue.
-
True Janine...... but..... a sale might generate more than if they dont have a sale........ they have already paid for R&D of the items.... so ANYTHING they generate would be better than nothing. It's like the unsold airline seat or the empty room at the hotel.... if it just sits there its not bringing in any $$$
-
there's another (adult) site that i'm familiar that dropped their prices for christmas and their servers were *flooded* with sales, so much so that they changed their policy after that to generate even more sales. the guys might want to give it a shot and see what happens...
-
You might be right, Bobbler's case might even be a good support for it.
The thing is that with the stock being digital it's not like hotel rooms or airline seats as they don't expire when a plane flies or a day passes with a room empty. So selling it at a lesser price is just selling it at a lesser price. Which COULD very well drive up traffic like I acknowledge above.
I can just see both sides I guess.
-
It's a question of your strategy and your values (values you have for the company). As long as you never sell anything cheaper, all customers know and accept this (have to accept). If you once change your prices (e.g. for christmas) the customers are expecting this the next year, too. You are creating a rule; the rule says: I am willing to change the price for special moments.
This could lead you to the situation, your customers don't buy from the beginning of Novemeber. They just wait for the next christmas sale.
On the other hand, this can give you extra income. People are buying items, they never would buy. So you are creating a good/deep customer relationship, as you are building a win-win-situation.
But if I take a look at the date I believe we havegot the answer.
-
yeah...... looks like you might as well just cough up the bucks....... or be happy with what ya got.....
-
I have nearly anything, yes. But that's not the reason for my statement. There are some items I would buy at once in a winter or christmas sale. But I believe we don't get it, as we already have christmas in 2 days.
-
I agree with you Lover..... two days out and prices the same.... so no sale this Christmas..... and like you, I too have pretty much what I want or need.... I was curious about the new room... got a chance to see it "BRIEFLY"..... and all it had was a view.. a potted plant... and a bed... so...... I think if nothing else..... cut the cost of that would make alot of people happy. However, those that paid the inflated price of 899 would not be happy campers at all.
I think we are stuck with the status quo....
-
*stores* do have 1-day sales ;)
-
@ lover:
but really, how many of us do you think will be here buying things a year from now? turnover here is pretty quick, as it seems like most members, even paying ones, only stick around for a few months
-
Yes, here is a lot of fluctuation. The question is not, if you, I or any other of the current members are here. This is the question of their strategy. And take their point of view: The yhave to make prem members of free members and then keep the prem members.
If you once do anything special, you can't hide it for the future. There is always anyone finding out, especially in the internet.
And don't frighten me; do you wanna leave soon? Is this our one and only christmas together? :(
-

possibly
been here a long time lover. another year...who knows?...
-
That's it bobbler. You are here for one year and a half. You have spent two Christmas here ;)
Do you recognize something?
-
what do you mean lover..."recognize something"?
and who's the troublemaker who voted "no" on the sale?...Tom? ;) ::)
-
Lol, yeah, who is the one against a christmas sale? Tell us your name!!!
What do I mean bobbler? You said "how many of us do you think will be here buying things a year from now?". You are one of those ;)
It seemed to me, you don't believe any of us will be here next christmas, because of fluctuation. You are spending your 2nd christmas here :)
Perhpas one or two of us will be here next christmas?
-
perhaps ;)
-
how about an after christmas sale?...end of year clearance ;)
-
A New Yea'rs Eve Sale
-
What about: "The day before New Year's"-sale. So we all have time to get dressed for the party... ;)
-
We don't need to be dressed for our party :D
-
Yes we do, I'm going to be dressed to the nines. :P
-
I like to get dressed before and after the party. Too cold to leave/get home without
-
We don't have to leave. I'm sure we go on with the party... New Year's Day - Carneval - Easter... maybe there is a birthday party during these days?
-
i expanded the time frame on the sale :D
-
Happy hour for one year? Lol
-
I guess they'll just reduce the price of old stuff and keep new stuff expensive.
-
happy year lover...well, if we ever get a sale ;)
-
How bout a freaking sale period. Could have black friday sale once a month. You don't even have to tell us. If we don't catch it then its our lost. Half price sale for going out of business. Or a subscribe for a yr and you'll get 6 months free. :P
-
Anyone who thinks the A-team will have a sale, raise thier hands!~
Not going to happen. So be a big spender or wait a long time before getting the things you want ;)
-
Hey, its good to have dreams tho. ::)
-
Yeah, but mine tend to be a bit more wicked then of a sale. ;) :P ;D
-
OH? Please do tell, don't keep us in suspense. ::)
-
hmm,..that might be an rp idea...a couple fighting over an article over a sale,...settling the issue in the dressing room. :P
-
You know seriously your cowboy picture is just to distracting. Sooo are those saddles for sale? ::) :P
And who the heck said NO to a sale. Had to be a A-team member ::) :P
-
Do I need to put a shirt on? ;D
Well riding lessons are free :P Show up maybe we can check to see how you fit in the saddle.
-
Bear, leave the shirt off. :P
-
*blushes* ummm say that again please, I was to busy looking at the picture. Keep having to slap myself from licking my computer screen.
But yea whatever Adera said.
-
Another idea for roleplay: Vendor and customer are talking bout the price. No fight, but an offerto reduce the price...
