Mailbox Plaza History: September 2006-December 2006

End of the year brought more orders. The mailbox manufacturer was overloaded and delayed the orders and sometimes sent incomplete sets! Even more problems we had with our bonus - house number stickers set to attach to these mailboxes. The number sets were wrong, or forgotten almost every other order! E-mail exchange with angry customers took a lot of my time, effort and emotions.

Finally, we made some changes:
1) eliminated bonuses - number sets and screen saver. Number sets, we just realized create too much troubles. Screen saver bonus looked lonely as the only bonus. I consider using this screen saver as opt-in instead of newsletter.
2) we raised the price.
As we see now, both changes did not effect conversion at all, while making our life much easier!
