Talking Ideas for W/E SPECIALS?????
Thanks to all who responded to my earlier questions this week. I forwarded them ALL to the Owner and I know that he is reading them as we speak now.

Okay - Now that I know that you guys can do my job for me - here is my next question: What would your idea of a great weekend special from ATW? We have done the bulk discount, we have 50 lbs in 5 flavors, free T shirts........so, what next?

I have had several suggestions -


A WEEKEND SPECIAL THAT GIVES

FREE SHIPPING TO BOARD MEMBERS for one weekend.
or FREE SAMPLER PACK WITH EACH ORDER one weekend.
or FREE 'PRO NOLA' WITH EACH ORDER one weekend.
or FREE CHOICE OF 2lbs of ANY PRODUCT w/order.
or ****referral pts for recommending us. Good towards
products for free.

Anybody got any better ideas than these? I would be curious to see what would motivate you to order? While I wait for the "powers that be" to finish creating PB and a better MPI and a Casein Product....and, and and, whatever else you need. I would like to know what you think is a good idea to reward repeat business.

That being said - I would like to hear your thoughts. I do have to say that we are almost ready to set up the new webpage and this really looks AWESOME. Finally we will have FAQ's that actually answer questions that get asked!!!!! And sections devoted to the different products and BB in general.....The Bariatrics will have their own section, woman and general fitness, etc.

Okay, I have taken up enough of your valuable time. Have a great night. I am off to hear my son in his "Recorder" Concert. Is it absolutely insane that every 3 Grader in America has to learn to play this instrument????? It is not even an instrument....it is just a big plastic whistle!!!!! Oh, Lord, it will be a long evening!

Thanks for everything, gentlemen - it is a privilege to learn from you.

I am thinking that I can do this.....I was waiting on 5 lb bags to come in - my dilemma is that it will drive the price up a bit and I hate to do that. Let me check in the morning and I will get back to you.

Definately the free 2 lb of any product w/an order. Along w/the referral program, it will be good for everyone i think.

No biggie if the price goes up a bit, it's what $70 for 25lbs right now? I get my whey for about 3.50/lb right now, if you are coming in below that with shipping I'm all yours Just get me some samples of the pineapple, orange and choco mint dangit

all great ideas. I'm a sucker for free shipping on anything, but all those are good promos!

Would the free shipping count for international orders?

Isolate - 160.00
Blend - 210.00
20/30 - 85.00


I apologize for the high cost - but I cannot make it work any better with the extra packaging .......so I can go five dollars down for AM members.

Laura dear, you do realize that the price you quoted is ABOVE the regular price for standard tub-o-whey from your website for everything but the 20/30 right (even considering that you switched the prices on isolate and blend by accident)? I'm sure that's a mistake

Yeah, the prices are above ATW prices listed on their site. These are the prices if you bought on the site in 5 different flavors in 5lbs tubs.

Isolate 25lbs- 179.75

Blend 25lbs- 114.95

20/30 25lbs- 104.95
