Question Sales or No Sales?

Ok decorators, I have a moment of truth for you.....

The forums have really taken off the past couple of months, it makes us extremely happy to see such a great bunch of people.

However, with many more people comes many more personalities and likes and dis-likes. So......

Those of you who have been around for a while, know we do "special" sales / coupons for our forum members. Our question is, do you want to continue to see them? Of course the immediate response is YES What are you talking about man

Let me put this spin on it, our specials are usually short-lived and usually are extremely great deals! That being said, how will you feel if you just bought something a day before or even that morning and then the sale took place on an order you just placed. Even just a few minutes ago

We have grown to a size now that we can no longer apply discounts or sale events retroactively for those orders that have already gone through. We don't want hurt feelings or bad customer relations because we can't do this. We hope you understand that.

So, vote in the poll, I will make the posting sticky and keep the poll open. Whichever votes are on top, will decide whether we do or do not do special sales for you all! After-all, your satisfaction IS our #1 priority.

Warm Regards,
MtBaker and the entire staff at Into The Oven!

I vote to keep the sales. I used to be a forum visitor from time to time and can't tell you how many times I ordered Satin Ice, only to find that I missed a sale that ended a day earlier or started an hour later. That's the nature of an unannounced limited time only sale! It just made me become a more active participant in the forums and I'm so glad I did! You guys rock!

heck, if I am lucky enough to catch a sale anywhere then great.

if I miss it, well too bad for me.

I see no reason you can't keep doing it.
