Default What did you think of our GEMSTONE Promo?

Please critique this Promo.


"For one week only, August 8th-14th, we are offering the following Gemstones for only $12.99 plus $3.50 Shipping.

Plus, you will receive a FREE gemstone with your purchase!

Amethyst, Ametrine, Aquamarine, Citrine, Garnets, Iolite, Peridot, and Blue Topaz.

This offer is for gemstones NOT currently listed in our store website. The gemstones have not been weighed or

measured, and are different sizes, shapes and weights. They are of fine quality, and you can use them in your

ring settings, earring settings, or necklace settings.

Just email us through our Contact Us section of our store, with the shape of the gemstone(s) you wish to

purchase. We will add it to our store, and email you. We accept the following payment options: PayPal for credit

A re-direct is never a good idea. Plus the tags are in a mess, it needs a great deal of work.

Default Yep - right on.

One of the "most unusual" implementations of OSCommece I've ever seen, and I've hacked up a few of them myself, but never quite to that degree.

On the promo, itself - it doesn't read well to me, but I'm not into buying gemstones, so:

1. The offer isn't clear - one/more of each or one/more of your choice?

2. It isn't clear what action the potential customer should take - the email instructions aren't going to get the needed results. Add more detail (like "Email us at qwe@rty.com with a list of what you need")

3. Remove the "we'll add it to our store" part - info the potential customer doesn't need until consumating the order - ditto on the payment methods.

All in my opinion, which, when combined carefully with a $1 bill, gets you a cup of coffee at the corner store.
