[This was originally posted in my other blog that I don't like very much, Dear You,. Dear You, was supposed to serve as a place for open letters to society, fictional characters, history, ephemeral ideas, whatever and whomever I felt the need to write to. Not giving it enough time and focus, it unfortunately became a rant blog. Some of my entries are still in keeping with my ideas of what this blog is, so I'll repost them here. I'll never edit, allowing the original intent to remain unspoiled.
This note was published in September of 2012, and was the start of Dear You,.]
Whether you are offering your different prices as "sales", "specials", "limited time offers", or Groupons / Living Socials / other deal-of-the-day options, I'm talking to you. I love a lot of your services. I'm a huge fan of the occasional pamper, and I'd never say no to a well done massage. I would make pilgrimages to your wonderful stress free oases regularly if I could afford to.
That said, please start offering deals that are useful! I'm sure lots of people take you up on your special deal on a very specific and potentially dangerous new fad hair treatment. I know you "sell out" of your sales on a hot stone- aromatherapeutic-couples-teaching-(insert yogic term here) massage treatment. Obviously, it is a good business model for you. But just once, could you please offer x% off any treatment? Or, Buy one treatment get another free? I would kill to be able to afford a simple 60 or 90 minute swedish massage, a haircut, and a brow wax. Simple, basic, and no less relaxing than your specialty item that you can't get anyone to book.
Please, offer a basic sale. I would love to give you my money.
From,
Me
