Why aren't there more VIP buyers?

[jetflair]

I signed up for VIP with my first heartsy purchase, because the shop I wanted a voucher for gave an extra $10.00 off to VIPs. I figured I could cancel if I wasn't getting my money's worth, but given the amount of heartsy buying I've been doing it's paid for itself probably 10x over this month alone.

Given the perks heartsy offers VIPs, I'm surprised almost every buyer isn't one. It appears that there is a substantial number of non-VIP buyers though.....why?

Hmm. I'm not a VIP, but I'm also not an impulse buyer, so it wouldn't be good for me. I'm a picky person and I've only seen about 3-4 deals in the past few months that I just loved. I also know a lot of buyers on Heartsy are new and just want to try it before upgrading to VIP. I just had my Heartsy deal on Monday and about 40% of my vouchers sold were to VIP's.

I have to agree with you Jetflair. I bought the VIP when I did my first purchase and have bought since, especially when I can't resist with the VIP specials. It has paid for itself many times over.

I'm with you, JetLair! Becoming a VIP has been totally worth it.

I just don't have tons of money to spend, and I don't want to be tempted to buy as many deals as possible. I prefer to just treat myself to a deal every once in a while.

Well frankly I'm glad there aren't more, lol, as I'm doing another deal onthe 1st with the extra $10 for VIPs. but like you, I joined witht intention of cancelling after a month -but it certainly pays for itself. I am slowly getting most of my Christmas shopping done. And, I must admit, I've bought a few goodies for myself as well.

[Former_Member]

Oh no, Swan, you're doing another? I'm so in love with my Whiskey Girl sample that I'm going to be very sorely tempted. Jojo's right, being a VIP makes it too easy to jump at lots of deals.

I'm glad you love it Gremlygirl! It's my favorite. Well, tied with Eyre.

It is too easy though - you're right about that. I have such little willpower, lol! I'm like a bird pouncing at a pretty shiny thing! =]

I am now being considered for Heartsy, which is the best way to go, the extra $10 for VIP or the VIP only. It will be my first Heartsy experience.... Marge

[Former_Member]

I would say that more than half of my vouchers sold were to VIP, I wasn't expecting that many!

[Unblushing]

I'm not a VIP........but now I'm realizing I should be!

Swan, good to hear you're doing another feature! I am contemplating a second one. How long did you wait since your last feature?

[Former_Member]

Well, I was going to wait a bit longer, but it ended up being about a month, only because I have finally just gotten my men's line listed in time for Fathers Day. I didn't have most of this stuff ready for my first feature.

Of course, I know that the vouchers people buy will be good for anything in my shop, but a lot of what will be out there for the next few weeks is men's stuff.
