My Feature Is Almost Over!

And boy have I been busy!

As of when I went to bed last night, 30 deals had been sold, but this morning it's timed, so I don't know now how many have been bought.

So far, I've had 19 sales, so there are still quite a few left to be redeemed. I'm down to making orders as they come in, as my stock is gone! LOL! It's going to take literally weeks to get things back to where they were before my feature started!

I'll be spending the weekend packing orders that are completed and working on orders that I have to make up.

It's been a wild ride so far, I have to tell you! There is only 5 hours left on my deal, and a small part of me will be relieved when it's over, only because it's stressful knowing that I have to make some of the new ones.

I would say well over half of the sales were for more than the certificate. Some of them quite a bit more. In the end, although I haven't crunched the numbers, I would say I actually made a small profit, which I wasn't expecting. But there have been a few really good sized sales which brought me up.

I'll let you all know the end tally. I imagine it will take a week or so to have all the deals redeemed.

Re: My Feature Is Almost Over!

Thank you so much for sharing the behind the scenes info. I've been so curious about how many sales people are getting and how the deals work. Congratulations on all your sales! :-)

Re: My Feature Is Almost Over!

congrats! Thanks for sharing - I know some people were worried about not being paid upfront - were you paid upfront? Or did they tell you it would be a week or so before payment would go through?

Re: My Feature Is Almost Over!

John said he'd pay me through Paypal when the feature was over. I never thought it would be any different, actually. I don't know how someone could be paid upfront when we don't know how many deals will be sold. There was no timeframe given, but I trust them that it will be quick. :)

Re: My Feature Is Almost Over!

Thank you PrettyParis!

Well, it's over. Whew! There was a last minute flurry of sales, and now there is peace. LOL! There are still some outstanding codes, but the main part is over.

I haven't done a final tally yet of number of sales, I'll do that later, but I do know that I sold a total so far of 45 items. In well over 50% of the sales (probably closer to 70% but I'm not sure yet) they purchased more than the $14.

I'll let you all know what the final tally is. I figure it will take probably a week to get all the codes in and figure it all out. I'll be sure to let you all know!

Re: My Feature Is Almost Over!

Incredible, you must feel great and relieved now. You will do a lot of crocheting in next few days I bet. I am happy it worked good for you. Thank you for giving us updates. I wouldn't have a clue how this works.
I have now all the votes in.
The message at the top of my page at heartsy says:
"The voting period for this deal has ended. You may re-submit for consideration at any time."
So I guess they did not select me.
