Best Day of Week for a Deal?

I am wanting to have my deal on Saturday, July 9/10. They told me if I offered a minimum 100 vouchers that I'd be able to be featured on both Saturday & Sunday. It works for me because I'm off from work on Sunday/Mondays and can be at the computer all day.

Would you say there is a better time during the week to hold a deal?

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Mine was Saturday/Sunday last weekend and it went very well, it sold out :) I think you'll do great!! It is especially good that you have Sunday/Monday off because you will definitely need it :)

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

I honestly don't think there is a "better" day to be featured. I, as a buyer and seller, check the site everyday to see the new deals. I've been featured on a Sunday/Monday and on a Tuesday/Wednesday and they've both been extremely successful.

For you it would probably be easier to do it on Sunday/Monday since you're off. :D

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

Yes, I agree with Xpie :) I think any day is equally good but having time to devote to your deal is the essential part.

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

Thanks for the feedback! I wrote Jacqueline from Heartsy and told her let's do Saturday, July 9! I am off Sun/Mon and just switched with a co-worker to get off on Tuesday.

Yay!

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

I bought 200 shipping boxes lol. I am still making products. The hard part is I work overnights F/T. So it's like: sleep? or make products? Sleeping during the day is hard when I have what I really want to be doing on my mind.

My job is getting in the way of my dreams, basically.

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

I looked at my shop views and how they fluctuated through the week. I tend to have a lot of views on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday and Friday so I set up with Heartsy a Fri the 8th of July deal. Hopefully it being a payday week will also help! :)
I also agree that it sounds like a good idea to be home during all of this to answer convos/set up custom listings, etc. I recently quit my day job so I am super excited about being available for the whole duration of the sale and in to the weekend.
Good Luck!

Did your post office not have free boxes?

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

In canada there are no free anything at the post office. If you want to buy a box it's usually $2 and up ($2 is for a teensy box!) I get my boxes from my local grocery store, they are clean and work really well :) (I also worked there for a while so I know they keep things clean).

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

hartley,

I actually bough gift size boxes that I plan to wrap in brown shipping paper. The post office by my house is super small and doesn't offer free boxes.

I live in NYC and don't have a car at this time. = (

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

I am live today, and I think my mail carrier is going to be exhausted after Tuesdays pickup. I am surprised how quick people shop. Never expected this.
Especially in vintage, I thought they might wait to see what I list.
going ok for a holiday weekend, didn't have too high of expectations.

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

You have the power to negotiate a deal that works for you after you've crunched your numbers. Be prepared to fully walk away if they do not want to agree to your preferred offer.

Even if profits are small, Heartsy allows for a TON of exposure. This is my 1st time applying and getting excepted, so I am excited and SUPER nervous! My deal is live for VIPs on Friday.

Re: Best Day of Week for a Deal?

Julies - a friend of mine had an offer from Heartsy to be featured for tomorrow - she was offered a $4/voucher stipend for each voucher sold, so she'd still get the amount of money that she originally wanted to get a 50% discount. In other words, Heartsy is paying for the extra 20% :o

That's just for their 4th of July sale though.

Saturday/Sunday because most people are off of their jobs and looking on Heartsy.
