LightORamaDan Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It was an amazing sale. In the past this had been a "Secret" and we can see why. If you tell the world about the sale it is an amazing slam... Like people lining up at Best Buys to get a deal on black Friday. Luckly as you open the doors on a E-store no one is trampled and no one is physically hurt!Sorry to those that missed out. We will work to make things better next year. We may go back to the "Secret" deal but we have to adjust our website so that people realize it is a "Secret" and we don't get a ton of people upset (like in previous years) because we never told them about the sale. ...How good was the sale... Well most stuff was sold (about 1500 items) in the first 10 minutes. Way beyond our expectations but leads to a number of understandably frustrated folks.To answer some of the emails and posts:There were no "very large" purchases. The average was 3 items.We started with about 2000 items total with up to 500 of an individual item.(because one particular email irked me) We had info about how the inventory control worked on the sale page before the sale was started, it was not added later... (look, in a world where people can cache your pages I would be stupid to make up things about what was posted on the Internet!!)... Perhaps we should have made that section of the page more prominent.Yes we still have stock (at regular prices) on all items that were on sale. We never said we would sell everything on the shelf. A certain number of items were allocated to be sold at sale price.Congratulations to everyone that got in to get what they wanted and for those that missed out there is the Summer Sale just around the corner. Remember with the summer sale, if we have the same promotion as last year, you may get your order for free!Thank You!Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know you don't have to put things on sale, and we would still buy stuff from you, so thank you for allowing us to save some money 1-2 times a year.

jldavis1969 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Dan and everyone else at LOR Thank you for the sale hoping to be able to get something at the next one.If you guys want to make a truly secret sale try doing an unannounced one after Halloween maybe. You could just add a discount at the time of checkout so that people would not notice it till they get their billing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in tv news and 80% of the callers to the newsroom complain about something said, we didn't cover their event, or how we missed the forecast.

Ponddude Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I have to tell you Dan, I think this sale was run perfectly. I am upset I missed out, but hey, life sucks sometimes.You clearly informed everyone, both on the forums and the actual sale page, that there were limited quantities and when things were gone, they were gone. You also sent out an email this year explaining the sale, which also worked well. I get people are upset they missed out, myself included, but if you went to Wal-Mart for a sale just like this and they ran out of stuff, they couldn't do much to get you what you wanted either.Congrats on a great sale and you will be seeing my money in the summer!

Brian Mitchell Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wow.....that was quite a feeding frenzy. I had no trouble ordering the next day in the past secret sales. Not this time.Looks like I will be waiting till the summer sale to order my controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 With all the LED lights and low power consumption, I'd like to see a 32 or 64 channel controller...More channels for the footprint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 How about a system that is module?Everything is a set size (say 2, 4 or 8 controllers) and if you want 64 channels, you just buy 32 (or 16 or 8) sets that have the ability to just plug into one another...
