Well - Although "YOU" asked in the open thread - Since I am not "Opinionated" and have "No Opinion" . . . I'm gonna just . . .
Congratulations Countrypami and OptimusPrimerib!
Thanks for the contest GMO!
Suggestions:
I agree with the suggestions already made. Sales are where it's at, and contests of course. Since you are doing that already, I'm at a loss for new ideas. You'd need the kind of sale that hurts profits to get on Gotsmok or VJ's sites, if that's even possible. They would probably want to have tried it first, and I bet they are back logged with free e-liquid to review. Judging by ECF daily activity and how many of those DIY, this website alone isn't the best way to get the word out. I hope somebody like RPAD has some suggestions... what do I know?

Contests are a good way to find out about new vendors, I'd never have known there were so many if not for the contests here. I'm thinking for every contests, you might pick up one new customer like in my case, but one person isn't enough to sustain a business. It takes me a while to vape 30ml's of juice.
Sales are great but the word needs to get out about sales. The 50% off sale was a good one but I'm wondering how many people here heard about it. And like Schnarph said, a HUGE sale could hurt profits.
The only idea I have is to sell locally at the B&M shops. Where I live there are quite a few vape shops and I've notice some only sell juice from smaller vendors.
Sure would be nice if RPAD did a show on new or smaller juice vendors.

YEP - Sales are GREAT and The Word needs to get out there, especially in the ECF Community . . .
SO - I just checked the "PIF - Deals & Steals Thread" and saw nothing was posted about the recent sale you are offering there - So I Fixed that . . .
Next - as a suggestion "You" and some of "US" really need to be talking about YOUR "E-LIQUIDS" in the main thread and not just here - THAT THREAD Needs to see activity to keep it towards the top of the list of Suppliers along with the rest that are as active too with discussions about what you have to offer, any questions that people may have about your product line, etc . . .
AND - IMO (Yes, I really do have one) - This and all other continuing Contest Thread's "You" have should be a forced theme first - then maybe general Chit Chat and conversation - but just about the contest . . . Could be Only Post that are "Tree Pictures" or something similar . . . However, the amount of post should be limited and definitely - NOT BACK TO BACK POSTING . . . Especially of pictures/sayings/etc. - NO ONE Should be able to "Spam" the thread just to get entries in and just to WIN the contest from others (even if it is being PIF somewhere else in the ECF Community ) . . .
Just Sayin' . . .
BTW: Last weeks Contest Thread was #6 and You have this one numbered # 8 . . .

How did I forget to mention that I'm having a 50% OFF Promotion for Pinoy Punch and Banyan Tree?
Just go to my website and enter banyan50 or pinoy50 for 50% off of those flavors!
Color me DUMB!!

Someone did something good for me today. I had 3 sales come in close to the same time. HEAH!! and thanks!
Let me know what it was....
edit: Maybe it was Uncle posting in the PIF - Deals & Steals Thread.
I can't even view that!

Awesome!
Glad to see you making sales
Being a small business owner can be stressful, especially when you are trying to figure out your sales model.
I'm betting Uncle's post helped. I'm subscribed to that thread, wondering how many others are too.
I agree with Uncle, (yes, I said it ) about perhaps using a theme and especially back-to-back and spam posting. Thats fine for a thread that doesn't dbl as a social-hall and only allows so many total posts... As long as We, the (Tree) People still have a home ;-)to chat, it's all good.
Numbered posts make it easier to track contest vs chit-chat, but most of us frequent another place with that MO already...

I've opened a new thread to advertise my site and promote sales.

Schnarph sells things in the ECF classifieds... bumps later on would be appreciated.
Pros and cons of not getting to the bank yet to make a deposit:
-can't order Banyan Tree yet
+would have blown it all on a Russian 91%, like I need another freakin' atty right now
-still haven't used my VVV gift cert or ordered the extras to come with it
+no money in that account means nobody can take it
Ho-hum. GMO, is your website check out working again? It doesn't matter to me yet, I can't get to the bank until Monday anyways... alert us when it's running please!

It was Uncle. I saw his post a few minutes after he posted it and decided to give my taste buds something new....so one of the orders was mine. Looking forward to it
Thanks for the sale!
