Crazy Deals!

Maybe this is old news, but I just realized that when you add ANY Logos base package to your shopping cart it drops the price of tons of other items dramatically! For example, add the bronze base package to your shopping cart and the NICOT+NICNT drops from $1,699 to $999. Tons of other deals too! Doesn't matter which base package you pick, all the deals are the same!

What else, can you tell me?

I can't put any base package into the cart right now.

They're all listed at https://www.logos.com/topproducts, but only a few show without a base package in your basket. You are shown them when you go through the checkout process with a base package.

There are a lot of options. I tried to make a list for you, but it was taking too long. This is about half of them.

Logos,

Please get your sales reps up to speed. I mentioned this sale to my sales rep on Thursday and was told by him that they were so busy taking calls they had had no meetings and had not been informed. Thankfully I have a number of denominational BP that I can add for less than $20 if I want to take advantage of these deals, but others may have to pay much more. The fact that they are not listed anywhere and that you have to add a BP to your cart makes calling a phone rep problematic.

Thanks, Mark for showing this. I had stopped at the Bundles option and didn't realize that I needed to go to the next step to see all the other reference works that were being offered at some of Logos best prices ever on some of their most popular titles.

I have summarized the steps that I found to get the best deals on adding on to the upgrade:

If you are considering upgrading to L6, be sure to look at the other specials that are being offered to those who upgrade, WHEN they upgrade.

1. Begin by adding your upgrade choice to your cart.

2. You will be shown a group of topical "bundles" to chose from.

3. The next step is a large group of other reference works at great prices. Many of these are the most popular reference works in Logos at the BEST prices they offer. They are organized topically. Be sure to scroll left or right to see all the titles. I highly recommend IVP 8 vol. Dictionary, Commentary on the NT Use of the OT (Beale), ISBE, AYBD, Most popular commentary sets are included, at great prices. Dynamic pricing is available for most items. This makes it a good time to pickup volumes that have been added to sets that you already have.

4. Your "wish list" (if you've used this feature on your account) is displayed with check boxes for you to add from your wish list. Items on that which are on sale show the reg. and sale price.

5. You can leave those in your cart to think about before you make your final decision.

Lots of options for Logos upgraders.

Thanks Mark,

I cannot upgrade to any package because there's no more package for me to upgrade to, so that's why I can never get that page. Again, I'm disqualified. haha.. jk.

So you're saying that's just half? Do you mind posting the other half when you get a chance please? I appreciate it!

Also, what do you think are the best deals Mark?

Maybe if Logos' employee is reading this, can you guys fix this so that people like me can still see the offers? Thanks!

I have a better idea [:)]. Just log out of the site, put Starter in your cart, and you'll be able to see them yourself.

As for great deals, there are some superb deals there. Many are better than pre-pub prices. NICNT/NICOT for $999 is probably the biggest headline, but things like socio-rhetoical for $129 or New Covenant for $59 are pretty good too.

fgh

Doesn't matter which base package you pick, all the deals are the same!

Unfortunately it does. If your package happens to be a Verbum one, you get to see the offers from the L5 launch instead, but without any discounts. (This is a bug. I just wanted to warn people.)

Also, make sure to check dynamic pricing is enabled if you own part of a collection. There is at least one item for which it isn't.

I mentioned this sale to my sales rep on Thursday and was told by him that they were so busy taking calls they had had no meetings and had not been informed.

Again! Didn't Sales learn anything last time?!

Thankfully I have a number of denominational BP that I can add for less than $20 if I want to take advantage of these deals, but others may have to pay much more. The fact that they are not listed anywhere and that you have to add a BP to your cart makes calling a phone rep problematic.

You need a package in the cart to see the deals, but any sales rep should be able to give them to you without you having to buy a second package. Just tell them you weren't informed of the deals at the time of the first purchase.

Just log out of the site, put Starter in your cart, and you'll be able to see them yourself.

I don't think so. I'm not going to try again now, but I did that yesterday. They wouldn't take me past the bundle page without a login. Presumably in order for dynamic pricing to work.

That's true. But, if you add a Logos BP to your cart, then visit the top products page and add whatever you want, then replace your Logos BP with a Verbum BP, then you'll still get the discounts.

It's true you have to log-in if you click 'Next' after adding a base package to your cart. But you can go directly to https://www.logos.com/topproducts without needing to log-in.

If you are technically disqualified, you might try calling a Sales rep to return one of your denominational base packages then buy it again, this time with your selected additional resources in your cart?

Damian McGrath

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/651442#Comment_651442

Also, make sure to check dynamic pricing is enabled if you own part of a collection. There is at least one item for which it isn't.

Obviously, I can't be bothered checking every item, BUT the Fortress Press New Testament Studies Bundle is one which I have had my eye on for a while. For several months, it has been sitting in my wishlist at a dynamically priced US$546.30. When I purchase a base package, it is offered to me at US$700! When I actually place it in my cart, it is priced at US$382.40.....

This is a good way to offer sales without getting sales.

Edwin Bowden

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/651422#Comment_651422

Also, what do you think are the best deals Mark?

Here are some of the deals that caught my eye:

IVP 8 vol. Bible Dictionary set 199.95 sale/349.95 reg A must buy for anyone who does not already have this set.

Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary 179.95 /269.95

ISBE 89.95/129.95

Commentary on the NT Use of the OT, Beale 39.95/59.95 Excellent

NT Biblical Theology, Beale 39.95/54.95

NIV Application Commentary 719.95/949.95 Rare to find this Z set discounted

NAC set 349.95/509.95

Exegetical Summaries 419.95/554.95

College Press NIV Comm. 569.95/749.95

Most major commentary sets have great pricing, but may be cheaper in a base pkg, so the buyer should review whether it is better to buy a pkg to necessary to get the set or buy a smaller pkg and pick up the set as an add-on.

Somehow I missed the opportunity to purchase these when I ordered my Logos 6 upgrade to Portfolio. From what I'm seeing it doesn't appear that I can purchase these deals now. [:(]

Paul-C

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/651628#Comment_651628

If you've already purchased a Logos 6 base package, I would contact sales and ask them to allow you to buy these "crazy deals" after the event. I've done this with a couple of Bundles. I bought the Bundles several days after I bought Logos 6 Portfolio this week. After all, you're still within the refund period, so you could technically get your Logos 6 purchased refunded, and buy it again - with the crazy deals you want. (I suspect it would be far easier administratively for Logos to simply allow you to buy the crazy deals you want than refund your purchase and buy it again with some extras!)

That's a good idea. Was it me or were these deals not really obvious when upgrading? Also I'm not sure why they don't just make these available for 30 days or something like that.

I searched and searched trying to find them. I was not interested in the bundles and thought that was all that was being offered. See my post further up on this thread for details.

There are several steps in the checkout process. After adding a base pkg to your cart, click on Proceed to move to the Bundles choices. Click on Proceed to see the Reference choices, Click on Proceed to see your Wish list choices.

They were obvious to me, in that I had to click next to get passed them all. However, I was rather to eager to get to the 'purchase' button, and therefore didn't stop to notice the steep discounts. (It doesn't have a before/after price.)

If you click on the item, it will display more info, including the reg. price. It displays dynamic pricing on most sets.

I'm the slow analytical buyer. I usually build a spreadsheet and examine all my possibilities before making a buying decision.

I read all the forum posts to get the input of others.

There is a lot more info available from Logos on L6 than there was with L5. Just locating and sorting through it all seems like playing Hide and Go Seek.

Yes, I suggested that on a more Catholic thread, but I was too lazy to repeat it here as well.[:)]

Good. I hadn't tried that.

That too was something I brought up in the other post yesterday:

The discounted prices now show when I have an Anglican package in the cart, but they are rather confusing. The page itself shows the full discounted prices, the popups show the dynamic ordinary prices, and only if you add things to the cart do you get to see the dynamic discounted prices.

The dangerous one, however, is The Encyclopedia of Christianity. $249.95 whether you own 0 volumes or 4. And if there's one like that there could be more.

Many people probably end up researching some bundle, and then going directly from there to the cart. Or they buy from a sales rep who doesn't mention them.

This is definitely the most under-advertised of all Logos' sales. My impression is that the percentage of buyers who even find out about it is minimal.

I did that when purchasing my base package, which took me hours. Then I got to the the bundles page, which I wasn't expecting, and that took me even longer. So by the time I got to the top products page, the day was nearly gone [:)]

These "deals" are not the add-on "packages" you are offered when you upgrade. These deals that I was commenting on are simply sales on individual titles. This was not offered to me when I added a base package to my cart. The only reason I realized it was I had another product in my cart at the same time and had a shock and awe moment.

I missed these deals because I wait to purchase them with my sales guy that I originally worked with so he would get commission for the sale so I didn't see these deals.

NICOT looks pretty good and a couple of others.

Same with me, although I did see the picture of the deals while I was hitting the trigger.

Well, maybe next time in a similar situation I'll shoot the BECNT [;)]

When I bought my package, I got a great deal on the ICC and Tim Keller Sermon Library. My strategy was to upgrade to a base package that I got at a bargain price through dynamic pricing, and then fill out the package with the ICC and Tim Keller Sermon Library which I had wanted for some time.

I was very happy.

Bruce,

If you have a portfolio package, you will get deep discounts for top products and bundles without getting another base package. Remember the Portfolio Advantage promise? [;)]. Contact by phone or e-mail

Todd Cullop Todd.Cullop@faithlife.com

Maggie Segar msegar@faithlife.com

They will take care of you. I like my sales reps because they took time to go through my purchase history and return products I purchased earlier that will make the upgrade much cheaper similar to what Rusty did for abondservant. [:)]

I picked up Tyndale Commentaries at a good price (but probably not much better than other sales which have run periodically). However, I did complete BECNT for just under £60 for the latest five entries. This price is significantly better than anything I have seen previously.
