Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I was thinking of doing a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale on all of my content. (Discount bulk price) And then a second sale on Christmas Eve/Christmas.
Thoughts?
Anybody else do this?

I wont, and thats only because I think I should be getting gifts instead. Hell we deserve it.

I consider getting money to be a gift. And it's one of the only days I'll think about discounting.

I would never because one someone sees you have discounted your stuff in the past, they'll be convinced you'll do it again. Unless you're planning to delete a video soon, there's no sense in discounting it.

I usually discount a game. So if I have a raffle I'll mark down the 'ticket' price. And I'll do a special bundle promo deal. I plan a lot of little games and things to do to keep everyone in the room and spending :)

I don't think it's a bad idea. Kind of like gold shows...it might get some of those cheapos spending...

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
Sure I'd do a bulk sale. I'll never discount individual items though.

I'm planning a Black Friday gold show. I don't think it's that bad of an idea to discount your pics/vids for special occasions. I haven't found it having any effect on future sales.

the problem with giving a discount is they will want it all the time...
they will never be like "omg thank u, thats so nice that i get a discount, thanks for appreciating your customers"
they will be like "bb y u dont give me special price today,yesterday i only pay 1.99"

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I would never mark down for cam shows, or single individual prices on videos/pics... but content sales I was thinking....like, buy 4 videos get 1 free...some deal like that. Or buy it all for $xxx etc.
I have around 90 videos atm and was thinking that a one day sale to buy everything for around $200-$300 wouldn't be so bad.

i think this can be a good idea and i might try it, just as like a gimmick. Start advertising now Black Friday Night! A buncha stuff on sale and great discounts! Hype it up a bit and lower your price a littttttttle bit than what you usually sell it for. Emphasize what a great deal it is. Most everyone knows what black friday is so as long as you make it known often that the prices are discounted because it's black friday i think you have permission to tell the guys who bitch later on that they want the same discounted price to fuck off.
Everyone loves a good discount and sale. It's good promotion, successful businesses offer promotions all the time. And i think the guys would appreciate it. You might get new paying fans who fall for you after buying content at a price they can't turn down. Besides i'm sure a lot of us has a lot of old content laying good, good or bad quality that they can recycle and squeeze a few more bucks out of.

I have done "happy hour" gold shows and always had a really good response so I am hoping it will be the same on black friday... we'll see!

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I probably will discount shit on black friday. Not for the holidays in general, there's too many year round and I'm not about to set those kinds of expectations. I'm thinking I'll advertise a special "bonus" by doing a bundle including a candid clip that I don't sell. Lot's of ideas in the workings, actually. I just need to get my ass on cam tho to start advertising!

Agreed.
Yea I do this for content on certain holidays, always goes over well sales generation wise. "Vintage" content especially or bulk or BOGO thing. Highly recommended if it is hyped up well in advance and firmly begins and ends at a set time. Live camming for me is more 'work' & customers have a terrible attention span compared to content ones - so I dont for that, but you may not view it the same way and could handle a drop.

Are you girls serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... I raise prices on holidays!!!!! Screw that !!!
-
Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
Yeah, I just have a feeling I'll hear "I'm waiting until next time you have a discount..." and then I'll have to block another custie.
They already do that with gold shows.

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
The only time I'd ever discount shows or vids or anything around the holidays, would be for the guys who bought me a Christmas gift or something like that. I'm not going to offer gifts to the guys who are too cheap to pay full price on a normal day lol. I only give discounts and extras to the guys who go out of their way to make MY holiday/any normal day brighter.

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I would totally do a black Friday sale on camshows. I never worry about those cheapos who say oh Ill just wait for the next discount. I STILL have guys holding on for my next Gold Show and I don't even do them. If it sounds fun. Do it. Don't let these dudes dictate what you want to do, or say, or whatever. I think it would be a nice treat for those guys who buy at your regular prices.

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
try it - if it doesnt work out the way you planned then you know to tweak it or dont do it again -

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I'm considering doing something special on Black Friday. Like maybe a speed raffle or something. I've seen Candie Cane do this once before. She gave the guys in her room like 5 minutes, I think, where they each tip like 6 tokens or something like that, and one guy would win something in particular.
The only thing is that if I do a speed raffle on Black Friday, tickets are gonna cost more than 6 tokens...lol. With any kind of raffle I do, I want to at least be getting a 2-digit tip from each guy participating. On MFC I usually get on after 12 AM EST, so I'm thinking that when it's Thursday night going into Friday morning (12 AM EST), the raffle can officially begin and last until 12 AM Friday night/Saturday morning.
The only problem with that is I'm gonna be at my grandparents' (in PA) on Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure what time I'll be returning home. So people may have to offline tip me in order to get raffle entries. I don't know...I'll figure something out. :)

Re: Do you do 1 day discounts on vids/pics/cam shows on holidays?
I was thinking of doing a discount on some content for a day, since that doesn't take additional effort on my part. I wouldn't change my prices on live shows though because then you're doing more work for less money.
