But I live in third world country where dollar's exchange rate is high. So if you could do me a favor helping me to get cheaper price i can convince my boss to buy themes from you while at the same time showing to everyone at my place that it's not that expensive. I will wait for christmas's promo, I hope you put my request in consideration. The reason I write this is because I love your design and I respect copyrights while most people I know are using ripped off themes. ivan Hello,

They won't be for 50% off, but they will be quite cool too; so maybe be on the look out for that. Hope you’re feeling better now… :)

I would love a hook up with the 50% off deal for the developer package if this is at all possible.

The phrase "time is money" is present every day in my life since I wake up. I subscribed WooThemes some months ago, but could have waited untill today to subscribe and have access to the themes, but I wouldn't be able to use them untill now. A coice was made. I could just have bookmarked the site & visit it regularly until I found a deal that sounded fair for me and thus saved some bucks -- the bucks I invested on getting the themes earlier. So, noticing I could have saved 50% from my subscription fee, I would have wasted a lot of time (that equals money ;)). Did I get any reward for being a loyal customer and a fan? Yes, and I'm still being rewarded day after day. The quality support you get on Woo forums is top notch, and also their attention to email messages. If I wasn't a member, I couldn't even read the forum posts on a theme before purchasing it. After 12+ years working online, I'm yet to find a better support than I found here. For people like me, it means a lot and shows these guys really value my business. Just placing things on a balance shows me I'm in a huge advantage by being a member for some months than if I paid todays price. just my 2 cents I’m a loyalist and I’ll answer based on my point of view.

I have for myself and for clients purchased nearly 16 themes at normal 2 for(s) or the occasional 4 for sale. When the black friday promotion came around I had two options... look at the great promotion with angst and buyers remorse about what i've already spent or look at the proven track records or Rockstar, Maggie and the rest of the Woo team. They drop a new theme on us like government scandals, at least 2 to 3 a month. So at the cost of 1 and 1/3 themes take the deal. The value added is bigger than the cost and stress of the complaint. The most important factor is I want them to stay in business for a long time, They save all of us a metric-sh!t-ton of work. Saving me personally well over the $280 a year developers cost. Yet I was still not going developer subscription until today. Crazy I know. A customer affinity program would be nice but it is not a deal breaker as they do so much for us now. If you are not getting these results, just charge one client $300 more for his site then you won't be spending your money and you'll have nothing to complain about.

I'll be very frank in responding though; and the truth is ultimately that our backend system makes it impossible for us to reward customer loyalty at the moment. So whilst that is a lame response in itself (probably), it is one of our growing pains and one that we are working on sorting out. This is a very valid concern and one that we take very seriously.

I was a fan and loyal at full price. What's in this promotion for people like me? What does it tell me about how you value my business and my loyalty vs people who have not purchased at full price and were either waiting for a discount or some other price incentive?
