It's been advertised every day for like the past week or so if you click the banner button for the new day's sales. I don't know if it's advertised in the email or not, so if you only look at the emails it might not have been mentioned, but it's been on the site at the very top of the page when you click on the new days releases.
But only a $2 purchase is required.
i think its a good sale if you were around to meet the requirements... not so much if you just turned up hoping to grab a bargain.
$2 is alot to spend on something I neither want, need, nor can or will use. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay, I get it. If you still log in every day, the sale is great, and if you only check in once in a while, it isn't. That's okay - there's always more places to spend my money that like me whenever I show up :-)
(Although, it's sort of a weird sales technique... fishing for tiny purchases rather than just taking the money people have to spend...)
An example is the Dragonhide PCS scifi armor bundle which was near $85 US if you bought it randomly last week and I got the whole bundle for roughly $5 per product. So, yeah, if you invested $4 for some cheep product, you might $50 off something that you wanted but was too dear to buy.
Agan, I have to say that I don't see the same discounts that people here are celebrating. For a start - the $2.99 deals are actually $3.99 from what I can see. So I bought a couple yesterday and expected to see big discounts due to the punch formula. I'm not seeing big discounts - I'm seeing quite paltry discounts. Why oh why do DAZ have to make things so complicated? I am a DAZ+ member but I'm seeing no discernible benefit from that either. I've just emptied my cart because I realised that the things I had selected (in the clothing sale) were either available recently at a much better discount or that I can easily do without them. So no punch holes for me tomorrow,
You have to need the "at least 2.00" item, because if you never use it, you might as well add that 2.00 to the price of your targeted item(s) that you were working towards..
Personally, there is absolutely nothing in the 2.00 price range that I need or could even use LOL
Couldn't you buy a $2 gift card both days, then spend them on the third day when the punches add up?
Someone may want to alert the techies - the link to today's (Sunday's) Black Friday deals isn't working.
I honestly think this has been one of the best, if not the best, Daz sales I've been around for. I've consistenty seen 80-90% savings on a bunch of products I've been putting off buying for a while. Whish is another way of saying that the past two days have been expensive, but successful :)
..agreed, all it does is return to the main page.
No, gift cards were excluded from the punches.
Fixed.
Does anyone know if the double punch sales are active until tomorrow ?
The sale is great if you don't want to buy hair. Hopefully the three hair products I want, none of which are very new, will be offered tomorrow. All have remained stubornly full price so far
You can buy anything from the store to qualify (except gift cards), why would you buy something you don’t want?
Daz had 1 or 2 many, many years ago. Most loyal customers - at least those who posted in the forums - didn't like them at all, even though those were clearly explained and actually worked. Daz, having a different customer service philosophy than now, didn't do any more for the longest time. They've had several in the last few years, however, and many customers are even less pleased with the return version, since the wording is confusing and oftentimes they don't work. But Marketing still uses them...
Presumably they actually do work, however little the particular subset of members who post to the forums on the topic may dislike them.
We really need that gift card sale now ...
Ah! They closed that avenue, too.
While the sales' %s are nice - yeah, I manage to get those ~84% off - my motivation to spend more than the needed minimum to maximise the % off (= 3 items from the offers) is low, as the categories aren't what I really would be desperate to buy from. Thursday... Poses and "Grab Bag reloaded 9 (or 10?)" Yeah, managed to find me 3 products I was ready to pay for. Friday brought us Characters and Textures.... okay, I even managed to find three items each category... and Saturday gave us Clothing and stuff... again, 3 items for the cart... today though was a really tough one... DAZ+ stuff? Most what I wanted from DAZ+ I already own, but again 3 items in the cart...
Now.. if there had been some vehicles.. or architecture... landscapes.. whatevers... there would have been some items I'd desperately hoping to see them included in a sale... without going for "the cheapest option to profit from the deal, while not spending too much..."
What an easy and unprovable assertion so often used when there is any criticism of DAZ: well the people who post on the forum (especiallly critical posts) are not representative of the customer base at large. Critics are merely a vocal "subset". OK, so it is not a tactic exclusive to the DAZ faithful - it is common in the business world in general and in politics and any other opinion-influencing environment but it is nonetheless questionable.
What is actually being said is "ignore the naysayers, they don't matter". Of course, I will not be at all surprised to see this post deleted.
But if the naysayers were reprsentative the promotions would not be working, would in fact be hurting sales. The amrketing team isn't going to keep doing something that leads to lower sales than not doing it (and there are enough different kinds of promotion that they wold know)
Hmmm ... dare I admit that Daz's tactic worked on me this time???? It usually does not.
I managed to save a little extra expecting some thanksgiving sales, but I expected to split it among Daz and two other artist resources. The other two had normal sales (which could be expected again in about a month) ... and I diligiently had made two small purchases wed. and thurs. in anticipation of a deal (well, yes, I did want those items anyway). Then the Daz sales hit ... okay, it started strong for me as I have held off buying poses for a long time, but had a lot in my wishlist.
Now I sit waiting to see if they come up with another category I can use on Monday. They got me to play their game this time ... let's see if they deliver a big win.
EDIT: I ordinarily would not have tried a punch card sale ... but I took the risk because of thanksgiving weekend adding a better than average edge to getting a win.
EDIT: Cybermonday arrived and ... not great, but good enough to call it a win ... a number of wishlist items are on sale.
I dare say that if only 30% of customers were drawn into the complicated punch gimmick, DAZ would still be happy with the sales. We can't really say what percentage would more readily buy into a less serpentine, more obvious sale where discounts do not depend on conditional purchases. People who did buy some of the $3.99 grab bag items would clearly be more interested in looking what further discounts are available in the following days but what of those who did not? As for myself - I bought some of the required conditional purchases (because I wanted them, not because I might qualify for punch holes) but was still completely underwhelmed by both the products and the resulting discounts on offer the following day. Now, it is entirely possible that I am somewhow missing all the best discounts but the result is that I spend nothing. How is that good marketing?
Shrugs I bought something today for $6, supposedly that earned me a "punch," I have no idea how long the punch card will last or what products it applies to. Nothing on my Wishlist seems to be enjoying any additional discounts post-punch.
I did like the half-off sales, those were nice.
...1 hr 45 minutes until the Cyber Monday sale.
just sayin'
