On sale or not?

Mikko Paavola

After the website update there's no mention if a live resource is on sale or not (pre-pub and cp does have that feature), nor the regular price is mentioned. Is there an error somewhere in coding or have the regular prices dropped to the earlier sale level?

Hi Mikko,

Logos have revamped the website and have reconfigured how they advertise the cost of their products. Consider, for example, the item below,

http://www.logos.com/product/15107/study-notes-on-the-holy-scriptures

You will note that the regular price, the sales price (with the percentage discount) and the paper-equivalent price is now clearly (and, in my view, more clearly) identified.

It is my understanding that, in doing so, Logos is responding to requests from its userbase to clarify its pricing structures.

Does this answer your question? Is there an item in particular that you were looking at?

Regular price now equals our normal sale price. Certain titles will be discounted to a special, limited time price at various times. The prices haven't changed for the most part. What has changed is our labels and the way we use them.

Hi!

That's a great improvement in pricing! It makes it much more clear. [Y]

However, does that mean that for example this free book of the month is permanently 0$ (and not an one month sale)?

One suggestion: It would be helpful to see how long a particular resource will be on sale. It would make our planning for purchases easier (for example if there's 2 resources on sale that I want to buy and I would know that one of them is on sale only a month and the another one 2 months, I could make a decision to buy the first one now and the second one next month.)

This is good news. I saw Rosie's posting and wasn't quite sure what the comparable prices meant this time.

I hope in the other Logos marketing materials, 'regular' and 'retail' don't get mixed up. It's a lot easier not having to check each marketing ad to see if indeed it's a sale or not.

No. That was a mistake. We're still trying to get everyone up to speed with the new pricing changes. It should show a regular price. We'll get that updated.

We're working on a promotion tool that will allow us to have the expiration date show up on the product page. We won't always show how long a discounted price will last, but probably will if we're running a promotion around it.
