V4L FAM OPINIONS PLEASE -Regarding V4L Family Sale

[AdAmA]

Since I sleep till noon can we not have it start early in the A.M.??

[CanadianProf]

Sounds fabulous to me! I'll definitely order lots.

I think that any time you can offer the sale would be wonderful -- especially since you said that you'd give us advance notice. Bottom line: V4L is amazingly good to its customers, and, in the end, whatever time you choose for the sale won't please every single person. AND, (I'll dare to speak for all of us) we're all very grateful that you offer us so many sales and that you offer them so frequently!

Looking forward to it! Thanks!

Love the concept, Dave! Heck, I've ordered from my iPhone before in the middle of a meeting at work!

[jbmcdan]

but not everyone has iphones or even "non-work" internet access during the day...that's my only concern with a severely time-limited sale....

I wanted give you all the inside scoop on a HOT sale coming up this week. It will be a V4L Family Sale at First, then a General Population Sale -- Here is the concept (and let me know if you love it or hate it) . . . Also the discounts will be deep with no min. order necessary. Here is the twist.

Hour 1 = Highest level discount
Hour 2 = 5% less
Hour 3, 4, 5 - same thing (reduction in discount)

If you had enough advance warning of when the sale would be (i.e. Wednesday from 10am-2pm CDT) would you be interested?

Would I be interested?
Hell, I'd set my alarm clock if I had to.
And I hate my alarm clock!

(But I love V4L!)

CDT? is that Central Daylight Time = GMT-5 hrs?
If I am working it out correctly, if the sale started at 10am CDT on a Wednesday that would be 1.00AM on the Thursday in Australia. I think. Too confusing !

Might give this sale a miss

Because of work hours, real life stuff, internet access, etc. I think a lot of people might give this one a miss. But I do like the concept and think it might be fun. Watch your servers so your site doesn't crash with the mad rush of doorbuster sales

[Kanza]

Dave...that's a brilliant idea! Our very own "almost" Dutch auction!

But, out of respect for our family members overseas, could they have a special code that lets them place their order irrespective of Chicago time? This sounds like so much fun, I'd hate for them to miss out on *GOODIES*

[Conard]

Wow, a super sale and a trial to see if your server can handle the traffic. If/when your server goes down the first hour will there be a do over?
Let's hope your host isn't the same one as ECF.

Let the games begin.......

Thanks for thinking of us - we love sales! That sounds like a great idea. The office work will have to stop for just a little while (we don't get anything done during a numbers game).
