Points/Rewards System

[Robert]

I try to avoid any sort of shady marketing schemes... I'm not one to send out mass marketing emails or ask you to sign up for a "Monthly Newsletter" where I pretend to pass along interesting information littered with advertisements... no one wants that garbage.

Reward points though, well, I've never really minded getting those all that much and they can be ignored if you don't want to bother.

something like every x dollars spent you get a punch on your “card”. When you fill up the card get a % off on your next order?

It depends on the plugin used but the ones I've seen typically accumulate points for each order that can be redeemed in certain amounts for gift card balances or specific items. (eg: 500 points = $10, 1000 points = 14 grams ProtoBoard, etc)

Some also give rewards for social media likes/follows/reposts, reviews, demos, etc...

I'll have to "audition" a few different plugins and see which ones fit the best with the current configuration, it's a bit like a rube goldberg contraption trying to get everything to work together nicely.

My "grocery store" has a trip to Cancun for the max prize. A few people have won it but that too much herbal...even for me! I just cash in for free concentrates produce when the points get piled up.
I love this idea, even if I only build a few, select pedals a year!

Hopefully the plugin is in place before any kind of Black Friday sale...

It'll probably be around the first of the year.

But I have 20 boards I wanna order now.

I came to the thread for the discussion about points systems, but am staying for the oh-so-not-subtle dispensary/cannabis innuendo!

Surely, you can't mean the:
"lechuga loca"
"komischer kohl"
"antichrist's argula"
"beelzebub's buttercrunch"

antichrist's argula

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Peppery puffs of the profane from the prince of darkness. Evil herbs. One hit and your morality goes out the window.

it's a bit like a rube goldberg contraption trying to get everything to work together nicely.

This is every day in modern enterprise software development.

Wait wait wait, you try to? Does that mean you do from time to time?

What if points are retroactive, and points can also be used to bump wishlist requests to the top of the queue? — perhaps 100 points to expedite the layout and release of ring mod boards, 500 to expedite a YATS, 1500 to expedite the JHS flavour of the month

Absolutely not.

I do not work good under pressure.

I didn't realise Black Friday was so easily moved around the calendar (always associated it with November).

Some also give rewards for social media likes/follows/reposts, reviews, demos, etc...

I don't think points for posting is a good idea. I'm spamming on contributing to the forum too often as it is. Nobody wants more of my crappola where I pretend to know what I'm talking about; and what if people take things out of context? — You said so yourself...

... I pretend to pass along interesting information littered with advertisements... no one wants that garbage.

This strain I've bred for almost a decade has developed a beautiful aroma. Pineapple, watermelon, pine, skunk, and citrus. Good CBD as well as THC. Glistens with crystals!!!!
