I will be lowering prices all week, but don't worry I will still accept any offers. Jetson, I am glad I accepted your offer, because I had another offer at the same time that had the Willis M. Jersey Card and he offered more for it, but in the end your deal helped me out more, so it was all good.

The free ride of somebody capping out on shipping by purchasing $.25 cards had to be curbed.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to us.

This is a trial run of the bulk shipping service. We will see how it goes. If people are happy with it and we can afford to offer it, it will likely be back.

I like the idea of offering shipping credits when you buy certain amounts of store credit, but it is not a trivial feature to integrate into the site smoothly. I will keep that feature in mind, but it is not likely something I will add in the near future.

Regarding sales... I just heard them mention on NPR the other day that we are in the middle of the largest recession since the great depression. Just a hunch, but I think that might have some impact on our sales. That said, It does look like our total sales for the month is on pace to exceed last month.

We will continue to look for smart, safe ways to generate growth.

The bold line will confuse people. Is it $10 for the second 100 or the first 100?

It is $20 for the first 100 cards and $10 for each additional 100 cards.
Do other people find this confusing?

Yep, I haven't done a newsletter in a while. I need to announce all of our new shipping and processing options. Hopefully I can get that out later today.

The way it was listed last night was initially confusing. Once I read the entire part it wasn't, but found the way it was posted seemed to be misleading.

Bulk Special

$10
per 100 cards

As Fish stated it is misleading. You state $10 per 100, when in fact it is not $10 per hundred.

Thanks Jetson. Appreciate your buying.

I'd say currently its a little confusing upon first glace, but if you read all the bullet points its not. Perhaps instead of having the "$10 per 100 cards" bolded in the title box, just leave it at "Bulk Shipping Special" and then you can leave the outlined details underneath as you have it now.

I do hope you seriously consider offering this long term though. A 1 week trial at the end of the month with minimal promotion time prior to that week is not likely to lead to an overwhelming number of people taking advantage of it. I just gone done having 400+ cards shipped last week or else I would have. I just hope you don't declare the special to have had no impact in sales because you didn't get many people using the special over a 1 week period. If someone were starting from scratch, 1 week is a really short period of time to try to buy hundreds of cards.
