Giant Once-In-A-Lifetime Software Blowout Extravaganza
(with comments)
I sell an Excel add-in called Power Utility Pak. Sales this year have been absolutely dismal. If the current trend continues, this will be the worst year for PUP sales since 1996. In an attempt to turn that around, we're having a GIANT TWO-HOUR BLOWOUT SALE!
Check
out these prices:
- PUP v7: $7.77 (normally $40.00)
- PUP v6: $6.66 (normally $39.95)
- The complete VBA source code is available for an additional $20.00
The sale will be on Tuesday, November 3 between the hours of 11:00 am
and 1:00 pm U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (that's 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT).
Plus, you might win a free book. Three books will be given away. Everyone who orders PUP during this 2-hour period will be entered in a drawing to win a free Excel book. Winners choose their book (subject to availability). Each license ordered = one chance to win. Order 100 licenses, and you're practically guaranteed to win at least one book -- maybe all three. Actually, anyone who orders 100 licenses should just ask me for a book.
On Tuesday, here's where you go to order: Special 2-Hour Sale Order Form.

Suggest Zazzle as an easy place to create and post the new design. Give it the full price markup. - By . Comment posted 31-Oct-2009 @07:03pm:Now you got me thinking of a new coffee mug design contest. Man, I'm in a marketing mood today.
The problem with those J-Walk coffee mugs is nobody buys them (except me). Even when they are sold at no profit. In this day and age, people just go to Zazzle and make their own. - By Don Coyote. Comment posted 31-Oct-2009 @07:40pm:"...this will be the worst year for PUP sales since 1996."
We're looking for a pup. Had their shots yet? And do you know who the dad was? - By Don Coyote. Comment posted 31-Oct-2009 @07:43pm:Second the new mug idea. But this time, how about something less...petite. A real mug. Not a ladies' mug. I bought two of the last mugs but never use the one I kept. Just as well. It's bound to be a valuable collectible some day.
- By . Comment posted 31-Oct-2009 @07:58pm:I'd buy one. I love this blog. Question: does the PUP v7 work with Excel 2007? And where can I go to read an FAQ?

Hey! I bought one. I use it as a pencil/pen holder at my desk, since I don't drink coffee. It even holds my 2 JWalk and Associates Inc. pens! - By . Comment posted 31-Oct-2009 @08:14pm:Never mind. found the info on your other blog: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/blog/C11/

Please explain the J-Walk mugs in my cupboard.
While you are at it, please explain the J-Walk Mug filled with coffee on my end table Dated October 15, 2007, with the name Wendy! AFTER wok, and explain why I find Another Larry with top billing before that of Curtis (I guess it was before the bacon writing career), or before that of 12-Stringer (must have been before he bought his latest stringed instrument). - By .

J-Walk has pens!
Yes, I have pens. A whole box of J-Walk & Associate pens. I think they're about 10 years old, but they still work. I have one on my desk right now. I just noticed that the printing has almost completely worn off. - By Snag. Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @04:03am:Nobody ! ... easy, man ... that mug had a list of names in order of their comment activity (not quality, or I would never have made the cut) for a preceding period. I have a couple, one used for occasional drinks, the other for pens. I have heard that "some" people even appeared four times in that list.

Your order fulfillment, packaging, and distribution departments must be frantic. I think you should treat them nicely before the Tuesday night mayhem. Why don't you treat them all to a music jam today? - By . Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @08:30am:Sign me up. How about a similar fat discount on a copy of the Excel 2003 Bible? I've been waiting for a big sale to pick up a copy (preferably in English).
- By Don Coyote. Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @08:37am:Ha, you've got a good memory, Snag. "Some" people have settled down a bit.
- By wormpicker. Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @08:40am:I've got a mint condition copy of Excel 2007 Power Programming with VBA in Chinese, which I'll sell you for half price.
- By . Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @10:22am:Wormpicker, I've already got that one in Czech. It's no good to me at all, because I still run the older version of Office.

- By wormpicker. Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @12:42pm:Me too, Redwood. That's why mine is in mint condition.
- By . Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @01:07pm:Mine's actually a bit dogeared because I've foolishly been trying to use it to create streamlined summary reports out of these really large and complicated spreadsheets I've been building. Just when I think I'm making progress, my computer runs out of umlauts.
- By Gary. Comment posted 01-Nov-2009 @05:34pm:I had second thoughts about buying one when I saw that Poophead was directly above me.
