I'm doing a deal for mine - buy one at double the price, get the second one free.
General consensus is no then.
Made some great points Daniel.
Some retailers see it as a push promotion for their products too. It's not just about devalue.
Company I work for is mass media. Some reason they're getting involved in it. Yet their product never changes really.
Either way thanks for the input.
In my original statment, this kind of falls into the amazon echo/accessories thing. You're hoping for customer retention, they come because of the sale but stay once they realize your services. This doesn't quite work for me because of limited products and the only recurring fee is a year away.Company I work for is mass media. Some reason they're getting involved in it.

You do VPS/web hosting. Different to add-ons.I have to disagree, our sale last year went very well. I sold more VPS's that weekend (93% a year later are still customers) then almost rest of the year combined.. Sure we haven't had a website selling it all year, but still as we always gotten most of our business via word of mouth or my sig. Many of the orders were from members that been here and known me for a while too and I guess finally decided to take the leap to us from the great offer we had and promised to continue that rate as long as they remain active with payments. Several have also signed up for additional services since then at full price including additional VPS's or upgrades to more resources at the full price value difference between the packages. Also this now lead to more customers recommending us to others, leading to more signups in 2015 then we had in 2014.. So for me, I feel the sale was worth it.
