Is anyone else disappointed with the changes to Tadpole Tuesday? I always used to shop those deals, but now I find myself window shopping and not purchasing. Makes me sad. :cry
 
Personally, when things are $1 I find myself making impulse purchases...and then never using the product I buy. I now just buy things I love (even if they are a bit more money) and know I will use. Sorry you are disappointed!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I assumed (correct me if I'm wrong) that the lower price would generate more sales, so the designer would make at least as much (if not more) at the sale price as they did with a higher price. If I'm wrong, I want to know it!

TLP has some of the best designers out there, IMHO. I think I spend at least 1/2 my (limited) digi dollars here. I absolutely value the skills and time put into designing.
 
With changing times, adjustments needed to be made all around. We hope that you can appreciate the fair value of not only the quality product but the time designers put in to those products. A good number of the products here are already priced lower than the standard and fair market values, so customers intrinsically receive more for less. Additionally, if some are on tighter budgets, we have ample opportunities for more savings with bonus coupons, storewide sales, etc.

Finally, lower prices do not always equate to higher sales.
 
Thank you both for your explanations. I appreciate that you took the time to explain what is clearly a sensitive area. You gave me a lot to think about. Hearing the designer "side" of it makes me understand more about where you're coming from and certainly lessens any disappointment I was feeling. Again, thank you.
 
What they said :) I'm sorry you are disappointed! But the Tadpole Tuesday deals are still really great - often 50% off or more!
 
I'm actually finding myself shopping the Wibbit Wednesday deals a lot more lately too... I love getting older goodies that I may have missed at 50% off. Can't beat that with a stick! :)

I too thought that maybe you'd sell more at a dollar and thereby end up making more money. Whatever works to keep you all happily designing the goods for us! :)
