"when groupon called me and wanted to run a http://socialprintshop.com http://socialprintshop.com deal, their sales rep basically told me to double the price of my product for a month to make things work for me giving a 50% off deal. Living Social did the exact same thing, as did another deal site that reached out to me. Living social only required me to lower the price for 1 week after the deal ended."

- benjaminlotan 16y agowow, that's my comment thanks for posting to HN.
- jdp23 16y agoit was a great comment, and a great followup too, glad to see it here!
- kin 16y agonever heard of your site before, awesome idea! portman just scored you a sale. i'll be buying myself a poster soon (waiting for all the pictures of 90's cartoons to get updated)
- mcantor 16y agoSuggestion: Show a preview whenever possible before asking customers to "Buy Now". I might have bought a Tumblr poster, but I stopped when I had to click "Buy Now" and still didn't know what I was getting! I might get one anyway, though. What a great idea.
- jawartak 16y ago'commited' should be 'committed'.
- pitdesi 16y agoCan you tell us details of how this has impacted visits to your site and the conversions? Random curiosity, nothing else. It would be cool if that comment made you a lot of money/buzz etc.
- benjaminlotan 16y ago300% increase in visits on the day of this. generally nice for spreading some awareness. A few more orders than normal, but nothing insane. very cool for a comment to receive attention though. Makes me want to comment on more articles wherever i find them.
