Quoted from cpr9999:
To me less about math and more about communications
Oh yeah Ryan did a nice job in communicating before and after prices above !
yeah. all about communication and communicating math can be even tougher. Ryan did a very nice job of saying things in a different way to help everyone understand. I always admire that about him!
Quoted from dnaman:
Why cram all of these deals into one time a year?
If vendors can provide these discounts now, why not at other times?
Why try to compete with everyone else for someone's money?
So many questions...
My honest guess... These sales cut deeply into any profits and the idea is to help cement us relatively small pool of customers with the product/brand OR to help encourage someone new to try the product out and then buy more in the future.
