Default Big Sale now doesn't make sense...

Regardless of the current economic situation, Ibisdesigns is right, a big sale should be saved for Black Friday or Cyber Monday, now is not the time. I can't even find any decent coupon codes out there for anyone let alone t-shirt sites.

It would be stupid for Spreadshirt to advertise an amazing offer right now that they couldn't top two weeks from now, or the week before the holiday, when everyone EXPECTS the really good sales.

I wasn't being greedy. I've even removed my comission 100% from select products when Spreadshirt isn't running any good sales... I was just trying to help others understand what I already know. I may be new to Spreadshirt but e-commerce isn't new to me.

Actually, 25% off is a extremely conservative sale during the month of November compared to other current online sales and early Black Friday discounts I have seen. I personally would prefer 50% off for the entire month.

This current "free shipping" fake sale is the equivalent to a little over 10% discount which is hardly a sale, and you don't even get the discount until you add 3 or 4 T-Shirts to the cart, limiting the 10% discount to 1% of the orders. Just to add insult to the injury, the voucher still displays an amount of -0.00 because they "forgot" to fix that, so you end up with a "non-sale" that can potentially drive away costumers rather than reel them in.

We will be offering a Cyber Monday sale like we have done in the past and the offer will be different than the current free shipping promo. More details to follow in the next few weeks

LOL [ at ] MrQuino, that would be a GREAT SALE if they did 50% off but can you really imagine them doing that? Its SP remember :P

Kmi...the next few weeks IS Cyber Monday...so really, we should be getting details by next monday. Bigger companies (Target, Khols, Sears etc) have already released thier Black Friday deals...there is no reason why we need to get the details at the last minute. A week before is plenty of time for us to advertise and get our shops ready. SO PLEASE, give us a good deal and please give us enough time to prep for it.

KMI, the coupon code on the banner is FREESHIP, no number 1. I assume both will work, but I'm guessing the banner is a mistake knowing that there is usually a number in the code "for shops"...just an FYI so your tracking doesn't get messed up.

Dear Spreadshirt,
For Christmas it would be so awesome to get a partner beta test group/panel. Thanks in advance!
Love,
Sarah <3

Thanks Insanart- You're right the codes on the banners should have included a 1. Our graphic designer is correcting this now. But either codes do work the same way if you have already the banner with FREESHIP.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention
