    I have not seen this sale. Where did you see it? is it from somewhere you can share? Keep in mind some emails are personal offers based upon what is in your collection and are not intended for sharing.

    "Where did you see it?" - It was on the home screen when I brought up Logos4...I have it checked to see all the offers Logos provides.

    I cannot find this deal anywhere.  It's not on my home page, and I'm not sure how to check to show al the offers logos provides.  This offer is not on my homepage nor can I find it at logos.com.

    Any ideas?

    Make sure that you have "my Logos messages" enabled on the home page.  That's where it showed up for me.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    On my homepage, when I click on customize, I have everything checked....

    I do, and it still isn't showing.  Is there a special place where "my Logos messages" should show up that I'm missing somehow?

    Everything is checked for me...even unchecked it and then checked it. No deal...alas, I must not fit the demographic.

    FWIW, I don't see it either. Everything except "devotionals" is checked. I hit F5 twice and it never showed.

    I can't afford it anyway, just saying that it did not show for me.

    I am not understanding this at all....I owned my own software business for years and one of the things I always knew....You must treat all customers the same...this doesn't sound like good marketing procedures to me.....to discriminate between customers does not make sense at all....I would hate to walk into a retail store and see items on sale, but with sighs that read for customers who are only blond headed...

    It's a bit less sinister than you think Chuck.  It's all about targeted marketing.  since I've purchased items in the past that lead naturally to Tozer being a purchase it's offered to me.  Others for some reason didn't match whatever criteria was in view.  IOW it's not really an issue of Logos trying to keep something from you, but to make sure they offered it to people who match the criteria.  Perhaps the secret sauce there needs some new ingredients.

    As for not posting coupon codes in the forums, the policy against it is due to the longevity of posts.  Years after the coupon code expires - it's still visible in the forum and CS has to field questions about it.  Hence the Forum Guidelines.

    "not posting coupon" - I purposely did not display the coupon code...please
    don't accuse me of that.

    Sorry Chuck, I did not intend that to sound like an accusation.  It was an explanation not only for you, but for all the readers of these threads who are silently learning as they go. 

    EDIT: and as they read they're wondering, "Why didn't he post the code?"

    No offense intended, and certainly no accusation.  [:D]

    It's all about targeted marketing. 

    I did not get the offer because Logos already knows that I spend too much money on Logos resources. It is their "We will save you from yourself program" [:D]

    Actually, I already have the collection.

    I have GOT to sign up for that program.  But why did they hide the button from me?

    Perhaps Logos believes that you have not yet spent enough. Maybe it is like a tithe, a certain percent of your gross income. [:D]

    It's also worth checking with your sales rep. They can sometimes get you better deals even than the coupon sales. Sometimes they're authorized to grandfather in pre-pub prices on certain titles for example. It might depend on how good a customer you've been in the past. They tend to reward frequent buyers with other special deals. This isn't really treating different otherwise identical customers differently. It's rewarding customer loyalty. Lots of businesses do it, from airlines to restaurants. It's similar to giving big discounts on books bought as part of large base package bundles. The more you buy, the cheaper each book will be. It doesn't seem fair to those who can't afford to buy a lot in the first place. But it's a very common practice in business and not considered discriminatory.

    I suppose you're right Rosie.  But personally, as I have spent thousands, and I mean more than three, with Logos over the years, I'm not too happy with the process.  I suppose just posting this will block me out even more.  Anyway, I am grateful for the product aside from that.  I wonder if something I posted earlier has blacklisted me or what?

    I don't think you're blacklisted. I think there's probably a certain amount of randomness involved in the process too. Seriously, if you know there's a sale going on and you didn't happen to receive the email about it, but you call Sales and ask to get the discounted price, I'm sure they'll give it to you. And if you click that link that Paul Davey posted above, you should see the coupon code that Logos posted on the RSS feed, and you'll be able to use it. I hadn't received the message in my Home Page either, but I clicked that link and saw it and am planning to put in an order for this collection just as soon as I can get an answer back from my Sales Rep as to whether it's the lowest price he could offer me.

    Actually, on second thought, when I turned on the "My Logos Messages" checkbox in my Customize menu, I did see this in my Home Page. Are you subscribed to Logos NewsWire on the Mailing Lists tab of your My Account page on logos.com?

    That might explain why you're not getting notice of such specials.

    Actually, I am subscribed to the logos newswire on my mailing lists.  I am also checked off on all the home page things that those that got the sale are.  I also tried mightily to find this sale.  I'm also, now that I think about it, closer to 4 grand as a logos platinum user plus.  But that is no reflection on you or logos.  This remains the premiere Bible Study tool I've ever seen and I am grateful for that.   I'm sure there's some reason they do what they do the way they do it.  Don't worry too much about it, I'm kind of soured on the whole thing.  Just kind of sad to me.  Have a great day and God bless.

    Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention, just so you know, I did click the link that Paul Davey posted above.  I got a listing for mac and ipod stuff, neither of which I have.

    I understand the thought but this is a targeted campaign as Thomas explained.  Reality is a lot of large business have some sort of prefered customer or customer category scheme (Level A, Level B etc customers), or choose to make certain offers to certain groups of customers. In a smaller business this is less likely to happen if at all.

    I think its as both Rosie and Thomas suggested, its targeted to those most likely to purchase and targeted based on recent (whatever that might be) purchase history rather than long term investment.

    It's also worth checking with your sales rep.

    If you would like to take advantage of this deal, I would call your sales rep.  They may even be able to beat the coupon price.  You know the answer if you don't call.

    Michael, one possibility you may not be receiving the email offers could be your filters. I just tried to send you a personal email and it bounced back. The diagnostics said it was cleared but "User quota exceeded" and the server was "siteprotect" if that helps.

    If you have an alternate email address you can use, please send a message to me at dan@logos.com thanks!

    I also would be interested in the Tozer sale possibly. I found the Tozer collection on the site, but no special pricing. Where can I go to find the special pricing?

    Christopher,

    You have two options at this point.  You might try calling Logos sales and talk to Jared (or I guess any one who answers - I just usually talk to Jared). 

    Or you can email Dan Pritchett.  just DON"T tell him I told you too.  [:p]
