I signed up on Facebook and am waiting for additional offers. But I have to admit that as a loyal Juice customer, having already paid full price for all the fonts right after they came out, I'm now less eager to buy any products right away. If I'd waited, I would have gotten half off the fonts. So to be honest, it now makes me less likely to buy DJ products until they are discounted, which is probably an unintended consequence of this offer. There have been too many times I've gotten burned by buying DJ products sooner only to see the prices fall dramatically later. Not to say Juice products aren't worth it at any price, but for the sake of having more money saved to buy more products, in future I plan to hold off on being a first purchaser until I see if any special offers show up. I regret this isn't great for DJ, since having customers buy fonts or swipes or whatever cool item sooner gives them more money to develop more cool DJ products. When I first learned of DJ years ago, most of the Juice Drops - which were then one of the main product lines - were out of my price range. I took the plunge when the price reached a more affordable level for me. I felt given it took years for the prices to come down, this was reasonable since early adopters had lots of time using them before they were popular and showing up on broadcast tv or someone else's videos or promo materials. But I've noticed the past year or so, the time from introduction of something new to the time the price comes way down is now much shorter. When I've jumped on a special deal, within months or sometimes weeks or even days, suddenly an even better offer appears. So from my own perspective, I'd rather wait a couple months and buy two for the price of one. I know there have been lots of threads about pricing and I'm not trying to fan controversy, just thought it was finally time to put in my own two cents. I can understand both sides of the argument for the most effective business model, and I am very happy with a wide variety of DJ products so have no complaints about quality. It's just this special Facebook offer has put me in a holding pattern in terms of buying any more Juice. For me, it's one too many times that buying something at the introductory price has backfired in the past year. Still, I keep checking for the next offer
