CZ Design

Would you preorder for the reorder?

March 7, 2016

Would you preorder for the reorder?

finalpreorer
Last week I launched the CZ Stamps shop and in 8 hours, the first set sold out.

First of all, thank you! Second of all, they’re all in the mail and on their way to you. And third of all, I apologize to those who wanted the set but missed out.

Yep. I’m new to this and am trying to figure out how to balance the risk of adding stock to a shop versus making sure my customers are happy and able to get what they want.

And that leads me to today’s question: would you like me to offer a preorder option for the next re-order?

With my current shop, you would be billed as soon as you place the order. My production lead time is 8 to 10 days before I would have your stamps packed up and ready to ship. Does that sound like something you would like me to offer?

In this way, whoever wants this set would be able to get it. No stress about it being sold out by the time you sat down to make the purchase. It would also give me an idea of how many sets to stock and potentially, everyone wins. (Always the goal, right?)

So if you like this idea, leave me a comment today telling me so and then watch your email inbox for a message from me about the preorders opening up. I will add a deadline for the preorders so I’m able to place the order with my manufacturer. Β Subscribe to my newsletter to stay in the loop.


numbers
Question No. 2:Β I created a matching number set and got my samples in but there was a slight problem so they are going back into production as I await new samples. So question no. 2 is, would you also like the option to preorder the numbers set too?

I’d love your feedback by Wednesday! I’m excited about this new part of my business and hope to iron out my production schedule in a way that makes sense. This includes looking at building a custom shop with the types of preorders I would like to collect (ones where you pay when it ships!) but right now, my budget dictates that I use the shop I have.

Thanks everyone!

    Yes! Clean and Simple! (It’s sort of the opposite of the current trend of subscription programs–where you get exclusive products but have no idea what they will be. Sort of like spending a fortune on a new dress and makeup for a blind date.)

    Pre-order!

    Also spent the weekend with Catherine from SCT and I was one of the ladies chatting with her when you both were texting. We totally want to see you. Even if you just come to spend the weekend with us and not teach. We love what you do and the new level of awesomeness you have brought to the magazine. Besides – you have this awesome new stamp line you need to come show off…

    Pre-order would be great! I missed the last one and really would have loved that set of stamps…. Paying up front does not bother me because the turnaround is not too lengthy. Most of the time anything that I order in advance is paid for at the time I order.

    I think a preorder option for both sets is a great idea. Not only for this set but in going forward with future sets/products. You don’t want to run out and disappoint people but you also don’t want to be left holding the bag on a bunch of sets. Don’t worry, you’ll figure it all out and get the kinks worked out.

    I’m all about saving on the shipping costs and decided to wait to order until you had both sets available in the shop. If I could pre-order as a bundle with a single shipping charge (and maybe a discount for the set?), I’d do that in a heartbeat!

    Ugh, pre-order is such a tough question! I love the idea of being guaranteed a set, but I also don’t like the idea of waiting! πŸ™‚ Although since the turnaround time is only ten days (I’ve seen small stamp companies that require WEEKS worth of waiting after a pre-order, which is something I’m NOT willing to do!), I suppose that is a pretty short wait time to be guaranteed a set. And YES for numbers!!!!

    Cathy, like most of your commenters, I am all for pre-ordering. When I place online orders, I love noticing when an order was billed because then I know it’s on its way! However when I go to place an order and its not in stock, chances are I won’t go back and to see when it finally comes in–by then my crafting pennies have been spent on other goodies!

    Yes please to pre-ordering. I happened to be online when the first set went up and ordered immediately so mine is on it’s way (big smile!!), but it drives me crazy to have to pounce in order to get something (Studio Calico, for instance–love their stuff, HATE their system). I’d order the numbers in a second!

    I like the pre-order option. I really like the idea that was suggested for a discount on pre-orders. Ali Edwards has kind of done this with her Story Kits – that’s kind of her model, although you’re committing for a period of time with deeper discounts for the longer you subscribe, rather than a product. I think this would be a win-win for everyone.

    In a seemingly differing opinion… YES on pre-order… ha.

Love the numbers and would likely order both alpha and the numbers… thanks, Cathy!

    I would be interested in a pre-order, especially if there’s a way to order more than one stamp set at a time. Even though your set is very reasonably priced, with the shipping and exchange rate (things that are out of your control), my final price was too high, and I couldn’t justify ordering. However, if I could pre-order two (or more) sets and combine shipping, it may be more affordable. Do you plan to have the sets for a limited time only, or is it possible that the Favorite Slab Serif set would be something I could order in a few months if you’ve release other sets?

    I would love to have a pre-order system, then you can order and forget it.
    Too many times stamps are put out there, they are out of stock, you are ready to place an order and then you have to wait until your items are re-stocked and on and on, so if it is out of stock, I usually don’t bother with it and find something else. Some companies don’t put your order in pending until the item you want comes in and ship it all at once. If there is too much hassle factor, I move on unless it is something I HAVE to have which is rare. Also, one item may come in and then another is out of stock. Sometimes you have something in your cart and while you finish your order, it is no longer in stock at check out. So I think you are smart to do a pre-order and then have a small supply of extras that might have missed the notice. No sense in you having overhead, when a pre-order makes more sense. Good luck with this new venture.
