DAZ! PLEASE ADD SOME NEW ITEMS IN YOUR PROMOTIONS!

CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,085

This PC+2 sale has been an okay promotion thus far but, DAZ, you're killing me with this constant running of the exact same promotional items over and over and over, and now today's ad is literally yesterdays run over again?  If we bought Age of Monsters yesterday, there's no promotion, and even if there was a New item running the same kind of promotion, the exact same selection of FREE WITH PURCHASE items has now been run so repeatedly ad infinitum that with every new ad it becomes even less of sales incentive. 

How bad is it?  When I look in those free item selections right now, here's what I see -

Genesis 8 - 15 items available

Genesis 3 - 3 items available.

Genesis 2 - 8 items available.

Genesis - O products available. 

Faveral/Stonemason items - 11 available

In addition, I've already owned every single item in every single one of the 7 Anniversary Bundles released thus far, and I think I've actually seen an item show up in the Daily Special section twice since the PC sale started running.  

I can't possibly be the only person experiencing this, can I?

    Nope. I too, have a massive library so I pretty much own every interesting thing whenever they do an offer.

    The only good news is, I usually get that banner that says stuff like "Since you already own....or "Since you've already purchased....."As an owner of the ......

    And you get an extra discount or alternative thing.

    Sometimes we're just in the camp of Already-been-sold-to so it's really about finishing off that wishlist.

    Sorry, Cybersox, I just checked---I own slightly over 40% of the store's currently available items---but I have considerably more items showing up in those categories (though only one wishlisted item out of the lot). I think you have spent yourself beyond what could be considered a target audience for sales incentives.

    Genesis 8 - 281 items available

    Genesis 3 - 159 items available

    Genesis 2 - 72 items available

    Genesis - 27 products available

    Faveral/Stonemason items - 52 available, though yesterday there were no Faveral items when I checked.

    Nah, man. That's just you. Maybe, time to branch out to other stores.

    Agreed.

    I'm a bit over 60%, but even if I am a bit of an outllier, I know that there are people here with larger collections.  More to the point, one of the basics of marketing is that the top 20% of customers generally make up 50% of a stores overall sales, so ads and promotions targeting that group are disproportionately profitible.  DAZ clearly understands that to an extent... hence the constant purple bar offers for preferred customers... but they've literally been throwing out the same promotion items over and over for over a year now, and eventually they'll be losing more sales than they're gaining if the number of appealing items doesn't start exanding. 

    lets not forget that one of the basics of Marketing is that a business's tier of frequent customers is disproportionately valuable, with the top 20% generating 50% of a store's total income.  DAZ clearly understands this with the ongoing purple bar offers, but even if I am a bit of an outlier, there are people here with bigger collections and DAZ is going to start losing more sales than they make if they don't start stirring and expanding the promotional pool more often.

    I think it's just because you pretty much own the whole store surprise. You no doubt already own almost all of the DAZ Originals, which are the items being offered in these sales (except for Faveral/Stonemason)? When you own so much, the potential for having a lot of options in sales like this are no doubt greatly reduced. For general comparison, here are the numbers of items available for me today.

    Genesis 8 - 778 items

    Genesis 3 - 361 items

    Genesis 2 - 179 items 

    Genesis  - 49 items

    Faveral/Stonemason - 116 Items

    I understand your position that bigger buyers should be given more options, I'm not arguing that either way. It seems though that maybe you have actually bought so much that there aren't a lot options left to offer? Not knowing what you have, this is a WAG at best, but it does bring up the question of the things you have left to buy, how many are you really intereseted in getting? Or, put more directly, what is left for DAZ to offer in deals like this that you would be interested in?

    And my, my, my... would you look at that!  Out of the blue, DAZ is suddenly using a different promo system for the new Ashan 8 Pro Bundle... and a rather nice one at that: an extra 50% off up to 10 featured artist products instead of the usual DAZ Originals.  Maybe someone out there in DAZ land really was paying attention. And if they were...

    THANK YOU!!!!!
