Dear V4L,
lately one of your most popular Wow juices WowBoy is marked as "hot" item, sold with $1 discount and therefore usual discounts don't apply.
I understand your motivation: "we have a popular product, people buy it well, so we can make more money", it's capitalism after all - you deserve a better income because you are making/selling something popular.
But I would like to make a point, it's not only your good work that actually matters. This community has done a lot of work to make your product very popular.
I didn't start using your products out of the blue, few years ago someone at this forum strongly suggested your products to me, specifically WowBoy.
10+ vipers, converted by me, don't use WowBoy as everyday juice for no reason. They became your regular customers because I taught them to do so.
And a lot of forum members have done the same, de facto working for you without compensation.
Obviously we have done some good work for your benefit.
In return we got punished: have lost ability to use your regular discount codes for our favorite juice.
Different people have different budgets/preferences and will deal with situation differently, of course.
Chances are a lot of people will start looking, vaper's groups will switch to some other daily juice and, in few months, WowBoy will not be "hot" anymore.
Once people switch - they will not go back without a good reason.
It would be your loss.
But there is a way to keep everyone happy.
Let's face it: your regular clients don't benefit from $1 off "hot" item, most likely it scares them away.
Steady vapers don't buy bottle or two. Usually we get 5-8 bottles at the same time. Obviously we buy our regular juice when we get one of the discount emails or text messages.
If you would have few days per month (let's say 1st, 10th and 20st) when WowBoy (or other "hot" item) are eligible for discount or become not "hot" - it could work for everyone: your regular clients can get their usual juice at usual price while you keep higher profit margin on all the random buyers.
