I am sending out my email newsletter and I wanted to have a sale in the newsletter to celebrate my 2 years with PC - October 2005 is when I started. I'm not sure what to give without giving away the bank! Here are my possibilities...
 
I think the option of anything with a 2 in it would be confusing. The 10% off could cost a fortune. :)
 
I like the first choice!!! Good luck!!!
 
I would go with the 1st one also
 
Yes, first one since not too many people buy 2 of anything...it should reduce your "payouts".

Anyone else have an opinion? Comon, this board is full of loud mouth....heh...where's the strike through when ya need it?
 
IF you did the 10% by a date you could enter it under a past host # and wouldn't cost you anything.
 
You don't want MY opinion LOL because I tend to give away WAY too much!

I just took a break from doing my newsletter as well and I offer all my customers and hosts 20% off anything in the book for one week only. Cannot be combined with a current past host discount and exclusive only through me.

My 3 year is in January. I'm offering a cake (I'm making the one in the rice cooker) to anyone who has at least 10 confirmed guests. If there are not 10 I have the cake for my family to eat.
 
I often use the 10% off deal. As a matter of fact, I offer that to people who belong to my Birthday Club. I figure I'm usually making at least 25% commission, so I don't feel like I'm giving away the bank. Just be sure to make the timeline short. I do a month for the Birthday Club and, generally, two weeks for special occasions.
