Don't focus sales (such as Black Friday) on high-price items

For whatever it is worth to the Logos decision-makers, I think the decision to focus Black Friday so heavily on high-priced collections and bundles and courses was a mistake. You could have made hundreds of sales on individual books or members of sets. If I am any indication, I was anticipating making quite a few purchases, but I will probably not end up making any.

For me, it was more a matter of not really being interested in what was specifically selected for the sale.

I would have bought a high-priced collection of courses or commentaries, if they happened to be a good deal on the resources I wanted to get.

I do want to say thanks for the sale. I understand there's a lot that has to be done behind the scenes to put all this together, that goes beyond getting the prices right.

I agree completely but would extend it to most major Logo sales of late. Everything is bundles, bundles, bundles. After updating to 7 (and 6 before that), I got most of the bulk I wanted from base packages. Now I'm interested in picking off a title here and there to fill a particular niche, but the major sales don't seem to cater to that need very much.

Agreed, and heartily so.

I was wondering if they might give ten or fifteen percent off a Feature Set, but I've seen nothing of the sort.

I have bought all the bundles I ever will. All of my purchases from now on will be individual items; discounts on such will increase how many and how soon those happen.

All this said, I must note that the discount on the IVP dictionaries is quite nice and I will be picking up one. But they're buried at the bottom of the page. More of these sort of items, please, and fewer bundles.

I agree that smaller items would have been nice as well but I get the feeling that their pre-pub policy is getting in the way of a lot of greater sale prices (why they removed two volumes from the IVP dictionary).

Personally I would have rather seen bigger discounts on some items like the MacArthur sermons. 30% off doesn't seem like much to me when that resource can be found for free on his website... yes I know it doesn't have "value added." I did enjoy getting that Messianic commentary though
