First and foremost - THANK YOU all VERY much for stepping up - yet again. Sniper's Hide played a huge role in getting PRIME launched...all by accident by me bumping into Frank at Shannon's place during the GAP Grind a few years back...I'll not soon forget that fateful meeting and I'll never forget how helpful all of you have been in PRIME's successes. Also, many Hide members played a pivotal roll in pushing PRIME over the goal line during our "troubles" I hope you all know how very grateful I am - I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE FOR PRIME and know that it is VERY motivating for me to find every single possible way to save you guys money, bring you great products and provide you with excellent customer service. I absolutely love what I do...just ask anyone who has been on the phone with me...I can't hide it...I've found my calling and I get to deal with "The Deplorable's" "Clinging to their guns and religion" who are supposed to be evil and are the exact opposite.
Now, you guys are doing it all over again...this group purchase idea is taking off, and although I can't say its a smashing success just yet (its only been 4 days!), I can tell you that Frank's post in this thread from yesterday at 5:17PM (#29) is correct...the numbers are looking good. Just think of it this way:
1. PRIME has never done this before so for a "first time" introducing a system that other non-firearm companies use all the time, but we don't have access to because we are "gun people" and only being up for a few days, it's going VERY well so far and it is picking up steam nicely. We have almost 2 weeks left so at this point I'd be surprised if we don't make it and we have options if we get close - See #4 below.
2. You guys might not realize this but PRIME has not done any promotion of this yet...check out our IG and FB...we have not announced via those platforms yet...I have my reasons for doing that but I can almost guarantee you that we'll see very large jumps as soon as we do and we'll be promoting soon on those platforms for this inaugural offer. If you really want to know why I haven't pushed on our social media yet - email me (
[email protected]) your number and I'll call you...I'm not going to discuss it on any public forum.
3. We have not mailed our opt-in email list yet...this very likely will be an even larger bump than IG and FB when we do it for this offer and we will be doing so.
4. If we get close - PRIME will make sure this happens....I'm not gonna S-can it if we only get to 499,999
5. I haven't decided yet what the number is where PRIME kicks in if we don't go over the mark organically...I wanna see what this does on its own without overly influencing the outcome...I hope you all can understand/respect that...put yourselves in my shoes. I want to know the dynamics of this - again, I have my reasons.
5. We are going to start adding other offers very soon...I really like the way this is going and I can see PRIME and other companies starting to do this type of system A LOT as it makes a ton of sense for all the participants in the stream of commerce.
Again, thank you all very, very much... let's see if we can crush this and save many people tons of money, remove a lot of uncertainty for our manufacturing partners, get volumes up that make economies of scale based savings possible and maybe, just maybe make this a system that can work over the long run going forward for lots of different products in the firearm industry. It's been done in many other industries...I think it's time it happens for us.
Thank you,
