Just dropping in to say I'm verry dissapointed to see that the "hypothetical" orange banner "might" not be giving the "imaginary" discount to https://www.daz3d.com/bijou-for-genesis-2-female-s even though she qualifies as a DO which "would" be the banner target..., that is if such a banner existed.

If it's the same "Make It Rain' thingie as mine, new releases are excluded. Here's the fine print:
That being said, it would have been an even more awesome coupon if had applied to new releases!
I did not notice that. o_O
$349.95 for one figure? What the hell?
This comes up periodically. That figure is a 'special' that DAZ sometimes offers users for free as a birthday present. The high price is intended to keep it 'exclusive' by making it unlikely that anyone would buy it.
Incidentally, there's some debate about what exactly you have to do to be offered the figure, with many people saying that they've never been offered it. The best guess is that you need to have your birthday entered as part of your account profile ... but the current version of the DAZ site software doesn't appear to offer any way to enter your birthday (as far as I can tell). So you'd need to be a long-time DAZ user who shared the date of their birthday on some previous version of the site.
The two gift card discounts appear to stack.

That is the rub; basically I can get the western saloon bundle and the waterfall water (both of which I want), plus the shadow jester outfit and textures (which I find interesting but don't feel passionately about), plus a $100 gift card for ~$133. With PC member discount, shadow jester stuff (cheapest new items from yesterday's sale) comes to ~$15, so basically I'm spending $15 on DO items I don't strongly want in order to save $15.34 on gift cards...or I'm getting the stuff I don't strongly want as a freebie for spending $133. Not sure I will pull the trigger, but if you're interested in items from both sales, it's useful to know.
Who knows, I didn't get it this time around, but that's fine for me, after some heafty bills this month and the 50% off sale at rendo I am tapped out on 3D spending for a bit.
I've said more or less the same thing. I haven't checked in here for days, though - because the sales just aren't doing it for me. Too many high-ticket items that are not interesting to me required in order to get at deep discounts on items that ARE interesting to me, lately. It seems like they want your basket to be a minimum of around $25 on every purchase. I understand their desire to drive that - but I'm a guy who wants an overflowing basket for $5-$10.
Interestingly, I've seen a slowdown on ShareCG content too. Maybe it is seasonal. Maybe I've just got so much content now there isn't much that I really want.
Probably a little bit of all of these factors.
I think working in the marketing department at Daz would be a fascinating thing (I love marketing) and each day is a new test and they can measure results. And there is such a mixture of customers from newbies to old-timers to those in the middle who may use or prefer different generations of characters and different genres of content. It's all one big test market experiment every single day! I think that's why they have done so well, they don't stick to one marketing plan but keep it flexible and creative...
This has been a painful week for my wallet!
Hongyu's stuff appearing in Fast Grab was a pleasant surprise as well.
I have a western saloon now. I'll probably configure it diffeently (it needs more rooms upstairs) but I think I can put it to good use.
I managed to get TerraDome 3 for less than $9 after min-maxing discounts (let it rain let it rain let it rain, plus maximizing some of the other sales). The previous versions were also looking attractive price wise, but you have to draw a line somewhere!
I now have a spiffy crossbow too. Definitely an Impulse buy, it tied in with one of the sales. It'll allow me to change some things up/not use handguns all the time, but I really didn't need it. It was pretty and it sucked me in.
There was a bunch of PC+ Daz Originals that I could have snagged for $1.20 (letting it rain some more), but they weren't that important to me at the moment. Moonshine's diner adds up after you add in all of the expansions, but I won't have use for it for a bit...
That Cheyenne Bundle, though, couldn't say no to that! If you have any need whatsoever for Native American tribal stuff for whatever you are doing (with a Cheyenne theme), seriously, look at that pack! Even at $1.99 (PC+ price, w/o Letting It Rain) it's a steal!
Regardless of what the sales figures are telling DAZ, I'm only wishlisting items I want from the most recent sales. I simply cannot afford to purchase two items from one promo in order to get the better discounts on the older content... or gift cards. If this is the new norm, DAZ will see even less money from me; And probably the same from a lot of other customers whose circumstances don't allow for a $50+ purchase once, let alone every single day. (I've spent just over $38 this month, with all the rest of my purchases covered by store credit left over from MM!)
ETA: Now, had I been rained on via Daz, instead of mother nature, I might have found a way to spend a bit more money this month!

Sales figures are data; the problem with data, it depends on how its analysed.
Ditto here; apart from annual PC renewals, my biggest single cart purchase in a very long time was the (intro discounted) MICK bundle a couple of weeks ago. I usually try to keep my cart under $30, and only buy goodies once a week.
There is NO %80 off on gift cards with 2 Old West Newbies. More like %10.
That's 8%, not 80%. :)
I saw 80% at first too. Scanning across 20, then 30, then 52, then 80!!!! Wait, nope. That's just my mind hoping and playing tricks.
Well, I spent a LOT for the Poser sale and combined it with the orange banner when I could and only bought a new item because it triggered the 80% off, although it was something I really wanted but would have waited for it to go on steeper sale otherwise. And I somehow managed to get the Centaur Pro bundle for free combined with a gift card and on sale G2 items, but would have wishlisted it otherwise. (It was actually $27 in my cart, but the discounts it triggered in other things and the discounts those things triggered made it actually more than free.) So we all shop in ways that work for us and Daz will have to look at the final numbers to see what works best for them financially.
I don't think the PAs would be happy releasing their new products for under 30% off so Daz has to figure out incentives to get us to purchase those. But if there were a wider choice of new items to choose from and they bumped up the gift card to 20% off, I'm sure there would be a surge in sales, but they're probably looking for the sweet spot where they can make the most money and they are constantly monitoring and testing our shopping habits.. There wasn't two things from each category I wanted enough to trigger either of the 8% off gift card offers but if they had said ANY 2 new items with a green banner and 20% off gift cards I would have gone for it, and I'm sure a lot more people would have too.
Daz is very creative with their marketing, but we are also getting very creative as shoppers LOL.
The nice thing about the "poser" sale (I'd call it the generation 4 sale personally) was that there are Darkseal items that not only trigger the 80% they also qualified for the 80% at the same time.
Wow! That's so leading to the point where your eyes see what they expect!
Yeah, I noticed that too LOL. I kept the other new thing though because I did really need it and knew it would probably be a long time before it was in any sale again.
Oh, THAT kind of disaapointment was a cart clearer for me. Sigh.
But if you get 3 Darkseal items PLUS any new item, you get $15 off Daz Originals. And it seems they added new things to the Poser sale. First there were over 4,000 items, went down to around 3,200 items now up to 3,694 items. The combination of the 3 offers plus orange banner can work out really well! But PC items don't seem to count for the freebies.
Thanks for the tip, or rather, Why'd ya have to make me aware of that?
What happened to the Saloon Bundle? It's still in my cart but only 20% off. It's gone from the promo page and the detail page shows a 404? High Noon?
ALL of the items from the Saloon bundle are gone for me for some reason
Apologies all, we had to disable the Saloon itesm that released today. Enjoy the rest of the items on sale :)
