if there is one thing we have plenty of it is free tshirts, we should be getting some more flavor samples going soon too, thanks for the input guys!

I just will not pay an additional 25% or more to ship a $27 bag of Whey Protein Concentrate that I can literally walk up the street to get for the same price.

Just my $0.02, FWIW.

definitely noted, we would love to be able to give out free shipping for every order but we would be out of business! I believe we might be able to do this on large orders, but it is the small packages that amount to the most initial shipping charges. We will look at the numbers and see if it is feasible though, thanks for the input!

I agree it's hard when I can run down the street and get a 5lb jug for $25 at costco. You guys really need to get a strategy to get some of the lost sheep back.

Yeah, I like the free shipping thing. How about something like free shipping on orders over $75 or $100 ?

that is essentially what we would be looking at doing, sounds like it is getting a good response!

I would really enjoy sampling a protein mix. So say for $2 you could get 3 different 60gram samples of any type of protein or mix with any type of flavor. This way for $10 I could sample 15 different combinations of protein/flavoring/sweeteners.

Or you could offer a flavor testing mix where instead of getting 50gram flavor packs you could get 10 - 5gram flavor packs, paired with 1lb of protein this would be perfect for those who aren't sure about what flavor they'll really like.

I also like the free shipping idea, although I would never buy enough protein at once to cover the minimum.

Those sample ideas are really good, we have always wanted to offer sample packs like that but we were not sure if people were interested so I will look into that for sure!

I like the free shipping idea or at least reduce shipping for Canada.

Free whey with a big order is nice also. I would order all my bulk supps together.

Yes, great idea. I pretty much only buy at least 10lbs at a time which comes to at least $100.

I'm also into the t-shirt idea, I always need clothes to wear to the gym.

I like the idea of flavor samples or free shipping on larger orders. I always get screwed on tshirts because they tend to be men's XL.

Dante wants to expand the clothing line dramatically, so I will be sure to mention that we need to get in feminine sizes as well, but we should have some skull caps and sweaters coming soonish

Right on. I would pimp a TP tank at the gym.
