Reid Rosefelt Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 It's nuts. I was up early, but didn't even get to eat breakfast until 11. I'm typing all day and I'm always behind. I don't know how King Larry does it. The man is a God. Maybe it's because I still haven't gotten over my Covid shot? No morning bike rides for me from now on. 12 7 1
cclarry Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 Thanx Reid! Not hardly a god...nothing close... but I put in a LOT of work....way more than most realize... I start at 5 am...and go all day long trying to keep track of all of these sales, and trying not to double post, and trying to make sure that I've put the requested "disclaimers" i.e... Full Kontakt, iLok, eLicenser...etc...in the posts...it's takes a lot of time and effort...despite what some people think! 7 38

Maybe I'm getting older, but I don't remember it getting this crazy until next Monday. 3

I'm 62, so no spring chicken by any means either 3

Jacques Boileau Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 One important lesson in life: Concentrate on those that appreciate you, the others are not worth your time! I just made that up, but feels its appropriate! ? 3 1

Mark Stow Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Gotta admit I kinda miss the excitement of Thanksgiving morning thinking of what may be in Black Friday sales. All this Early BF thing I am not a fan of. I notice all the stores are jumping on this early thing, not a fan. I also miss the Best Buy ad I used to get with my newspaper. Call me Old Fashioned Edited November 15, 2021 by Mark Stow 7
Batwaffel Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 This is the definition of insanity and here's the real kicker, guys... I've seen a lot of these sales with an end date of 25 November. You know what that means, right? I hope you don't have any plans on the 26th. sigh. 3

Call me Old Fashioned It's probably a combination of things - if all the sales hit at once: it's difficult for the consumer as they'd blow a crater in their wallets over the course of a few days, rather than spread them out over a month it's difficult for the web shop as they might accidentally get DDoS'ed from people wanting to buy something, e.g. think about what happens during limited 500-serial giveaways; or even when a new version of Komplete comes out it's probably a tactical move from the developers - if your sale is out there first, there's more chance that someone with that on their list will buy over another product on their list that isn't on sale yet.
kitekrazy Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 It's been like this for at least a couple of years.

That last one is something I had been discussing with quite a few developers over the past 6 years and now I feel like it's biting us in the ***** a bit. Some of them were complaining about not making as much money as they thought they should during the holiday season and the reason based on the metrics I was collecting was that everything was hitting at one time and/or people were waiting on the "big stuff" so by the time the smaller companies got their sales out, everyone's money had been spent. My advice was to release earlier in the month to compete with that. Now I'm finding a few of those companies I spoke with are releasing their black friday sales as far back as the third week in October. Sorry, I guess? ? 1
