I am confused...was the "email" about the free shipping yesterday supposed to be the December newsletter? I received a warm call report for it..If so, I am highly disappointed!
 
No. The December Newsletter goes out NEXT Monday (5th).They offset them so we had time to opt-out and then opt back in if needed. (I missed that deadline, so thankfully, I didn't have confused customers with the PC special and MY special).

Thank goodness! LOL
I was surprised when I got the warm call report. I'm glad the regular one is going out next week! :)
 
I'm a little disappointed that I got 26 clicks - and apparently no sales yesterday! :-(

I didn't get any sales either. But today I got a $106.00 order from a lead to my website. :D
 
I think the $75 minimum is way too high. I bet you'd get more with $50. I did my own sale (10 days)- and so far, I've had about $450 in sales...with a few more orders I know are coming in. I won't make a ton of money- since I did a 20% off sale (I make a bit more..but not much). But I needed the sales to be active, AND I'm going to get the Table Runner! Plus, I have enough, I may carry one show over into December for my first Dec show. Anyway, I had calculated that if I offered Free Shipping- it would need to be a $50 order minimum to at least break-even on the cheapest order. (This was for Direct-shipping rates.)If PC offered $50 minimum Free shipping, I bet they'd get more takers, and invariably, they'd start shopping and spend more than that!
 
I agree with that! Most sites that offer free shipping have a $50 minimum for it. I know I had two people tell me they were going to order - I bet it threw them off when they read the fine print and saw that it was a $75 minimum.
 
does anyone else have an issue seeing the warm call report? i tried clicking on the link and it just sat there 20 mintues doing nothing. i can't even go into it from my website...
 
I agree $75 was way too much to spend. A lot of companies were doing free shipping on Monday with any size order. I think they and us would have gotten a lot more sales with that kind of special.
 
I use to do a HUGE Black Friday sale, i'd really discount my sales, but that was when we had free-for-all in November. This year, i didn't do a big Black Friday sale because the moved it to January. I ended up with one order and it was 35.00
