Ummmm ... well, I suppose that is one way to look at one of the most absurd promotions ever run by DAZ. Honestly, I think when you have to scratch around like that to see how you might benefit then life is really getting too short. I don't like this sale one bit and I find the whole principle of it very offensive, but that's just me. Good luck with all those savings ;)
Spot on! And that's the kind of response that DAZ deserves to get in response to this travesty of a promotion!
+1
While I don't like the idea of penalizing us when we don't buy on a certain day, allowing items to go to the next day and the next day (3 total) allows for flexibity. If you have 2 items you like, buy one that day and another one the next- but another question- will the same stores still be available? Because once I buy the second thing, that adds another 10% that I could use in those stores. So while it preserves my percents to buy each day, will the featured stores still be there the second and third day? I think that's a fair question to get answered.
In fairness to DAZ, they're at least testing how to get the customers instant rewards rather than having to get a group of purchases, like the punch sales. You had to get five things before the 10% kicked in. With this, only one punch gets you the rewards. So pros and cons with each, like losing your status- but far less things to buy is a plus (It's 10% each item bought, not FIVE) Then back to the con- you lose it. (Then back to a pro- you earn it back fast, 10% is with one item, not five things to buy again. So ping, pong.) I'm going to buy if I want something, if not, I'm not going to worry about it.
And if you got it while the gift card was 10% off, you've got that discount going for you too. (sigh, why did that happen at the end of the month when budget is already blown....)
And another thing ... why is it called REV-UP? Surely it should be called Throttle Back?
Come on all you overpaid marketing geeks ... earn your money!
Mods, you might want to tell the marketing web team how to spell "additional." Who IS the person doing Quality Assurance? First it was shinny and now additional is out of whack. Look under the meter on the promo page.
Seems like a questionable business practice to me. There has to be a consumer protection law against this.
I though that for the launch of the PA's festival, daz'd do a big sale, a punch in my wallet or something like that. I'm disapointed not only by the new content (for few days), only 3 new (secondary) products but also by the way daz does the sale. And the completely d*mb move with this "not buying"sort of punition.
Basic of sale: reward who buy, who are loyal.
come on daz!
Gosh, how dare DAZ institute a special savings offer where they give us the maximum discount at the start without us having to slog through multiple purchases to 'earn' it? The name, REV-UP, may seem a little strange at first but think about it, it's more a case of keeping your foot on the throttle.
If I did have a concern it was that I did not dee the final price of the item I bought until the very last moment.
Yeah look I'm not going to participate either, simply because it's not an attractive offer to me. But I don't have a problem with the concept. If there was a bigger incentive- say you can stack up to an 80% discount, then I wouldn't mind buying some cheaper items for the sake of keeping my revs up, so long as in the end I'm better off for it. Ie- spend $10 to save an additional $50- that's worth it.
I would prefer it if I didn't lose a rev for not buying though. That's just too big a gamble, because tomorrow the cheapest item could be $10, and then I either have to cut my losses, or take that financial hit. With my personality type, I would rather just stay away from it all together.
At the end of the day you need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages, and if you think you can get some good discounts, then best of luck to you, and enjoy the sale. On average Daz offers a lot more discounts than any other store I know, so while I'm disappointed after the huge build up, I don't really mind if I can't take advantage of all the offers. It saves me a bit of cash, and next week it'll be something else.
I agree that this is much better than the punch card sale, because with that you had to buy new items that were a lot more expensive, and you had to buy a lot more of them, where as here you can at least keep your revs up on some PC items at $1.99. (Assuming you're on PC plus of course).
Both sales are probably aimed at the big spenders though, and bring in a lot of money for the store. They're not aimed at hobyists like me unfortunately.
Pretty sure there will be a sizable number of people buying one item a day...and putting it on the CC. *chuckles* Where is the daz CC application!
Good question!
I am confused by how this sale is working - I bought the Scott Pro bundle because I wanted it - then after seeing the add that claimed owners of the Scott AND the Karen pro bundles would receive an additional 40% off whatever the discounted price would be on items in the PA sale, I decided to go ahead and get the Karen Pro bundle as well, since I did want to get Karen and the hair models. So how does this work now, should that be 40% off and an additional 40% off? (80% off?)
How does that work with the 40% revved up sale? Since I put the bikini in my cart and it comes out to 5.38, isn't that the same as what people are getting it for if they DIDN'T purchase both Karen Pro and Scott Pro bundles? Confused about what is going on with this sale, and what the total discount would end up being both with and without the Karen Pro bundle? If it really didn't give me anymore of a discount then I would just as soon return it... -Cathy
I doubt you will get a rev point for any kind of PC+ item, they where excluded from other punch type sales in the past (other that the PC sale month), and I am sure it will be the same this time as well.
no, it would be 40% off the discounted 40% off price. so 64% off. (which is pretty neato)
A lot of people are making a big thing about this "Rev Down" concept, but it is no different than many previous punch sales, only then the whole discount vanished at the end of the week. I do not see the big difference between those and these new sale games.
Except that combined discount exists only "at the start" of the REV-UP/THROTTLE-BACK/FORCE-U-BUY promotion - and nobody knows how long that will be. More coercion. In my day, sales was about incentives and rewards not bully boy fear-mongering tactics.
i don't have that discount anyway, I never bought Karen
Pageor ScottSummers.Just meant to point out it would be 64% and not 80%. Even if it was 64% off for me, I don't see anything I would need in the store today.
This ...
So if you buy something today and not tomorrow you lose whatever points you earned. Sounds like a lousy marketing scheme to scare away sales. There should be a pink slip waiting for whoever thought up this mistake.
As I added it up for the sales translation page, anyway...
So...for the items today, is there any way to "work" this sale to get an iClone suite at more than 40% off? 64% would be nice :)
This is very important. Be sure to pick wisely.
I think you needed to already have purchased Karen or Scott bundles before this promo started for this to work. Pretty clever if you ask me. Put the high dollar item up day one!
Hi larsmidnatt thanks for your reply! I have never been good at math and get confused by these sales - so with the 40% off the 40% discount, it comes to 64% discount all together - but then what about the revved up discount? It says I currently have 40% there, is that the 40% discount that shows up on the items in the store? So THAT discount will go down if I don't buy anything? Or is that supposed to be on top of the 40% discount that is on the items in the store? And if so, shouldn't it be on top of the discount with the 64% off? Sorry this is getting to me... What would be the difference if I hadn't bought both bundles? Is the price the same for everyone because of the revved up sale? Thanks for your help! -Cathy
mine says get an addtional 0% off. so I only save 40% on todays items. if yours says save additional 40%, then you should be seeing at total of 64% off at the cart.
64% is basically the cap. Excluding some strange stuff.
btw what is a "still featured" item.
Okay I think I may be getting this but want to be sure - with the 40% for the bundles, I get 64% off on the sale... the revv up sale doesn't effect me at all? So if I don't buy anything, the revv up counter is showing at 4, it won't drop daily so I will have the 64% all month, and it can't go up since I am already at the max of additional 40%? Thanks for replying and patience! -Cathy
if you bought the bundles, that just means that you start off with your rev counter full. So you get the same 40% we all do, plus an additional 40%- (4 revs x10%) bringing the total to 64%. If you don't buy anything today, then you lose a rev so you get the base 40% plus 30% tomorrow, (3 revs x 10) or 58% discount tomorrow etc
The rest of us who didn't buy the bundles get the base 40%, with no additional discounts. We then have to buy an item a day for 4 days, slowly building up our discount until we reach the maximum discount of 64%
Oh, I thought you get revs for buying anything in that listing, including artist catalogues. Just as well I didn't buy for the sake of buying.
