Just a quick question - does Sonia Showalter ever have a sale? I'm sure, with my lucky, the answer is "Yes and it just ended an hour ago." hee hee hee

I don't know if she does, but I live in Texas and every time that I buy one of her designs I have to pay Tax too!!!!*********4all

Me too Maria, but I had to have the bluebonnets!

I have never seen sales in her websites. I collect some of her freebies and have bought a few of her designs, still to be stitched, after many months. The problem with me is that I fall in love with too many designs and don't have time and energy to stitch them all!

I have been collecting her freebie for several years. I try not to miss one as I can not afford to but letters a full price. Kay

I still wish she would here a sale, because the prices are to high for me, because I just make one little project for myself or a gift. For nine or more dollars it better for me to just buy a gift...some people don't value your efforts to make their gifts. If i were sells some it would be more cost effective.

She doesn't have sales, but gives away a new design every couple of days to make up for it. I read this somewhere on her site.
Muffy :)

Her reasoning behind not having sales is that the people who by at regular price then feel cheated that they paid more. She must of had issues with this when she first started digitizing or saw complaints concerning that issue for other digitizers. I guess some people feel that if they just paid full price, they should be able to get a refund of the difference when it goes on sale.

Thanks for the explanation, Lori. I just need to watch my spending right now - DH was unemployed for 9 months and I'm still not working, so any savings is most welcome. I can understand her reasoning - some folks want it all and they want it for free! LOL I was just hoping for cheaper. ;-D

I GOT A MAIL FROM HER YESTERDAY SHE HAS UP TO 80% DISCOUNT ON HER DESIGNS, HAVE NOT BEEN THERE YET BUT SHE HAS A SALE ON. GEETA

Her designs are beautiful and I want almost all of them, LOL*

I don't think I have ever seen one. I love her designs and if I really want it I will pay the asking price. But I do not own many. Maybe 2 because of the price. I hate to pay $9.00 for one design.

Just came across these messages.Here is how it is stated in my FAQ section:

I have chosen to offer free designs for a short period of time rather than have sales.

I have many customers who purchase my designs as soon as they are released. I don't want to be unfair.

I am much more comfortable showing my appreciation by offering high quality, free designs that all can benefit from.

BTW, most of my designs are between $6.00 - $6.99. I don't have a lot that are $9. My free designs are just as valuable, but I am a generous person and want to give HIGH quality designs.
Free is better than a sale, I think so it should count for something.

Thank you for reading,

Sonia Showalter
