Title: Bitcoin Friday, the fallout: Merchants how did we do ? Post by: Isokivi on November 10, 2012, 03:00:13 PM I for one can report a record amount of sales for btctrinkets, nothing drastic especially since I've been around for just two weeks... but 60% growth when compared to average day shipments.

As a merchant if it were monthly I for one could not offer 20% discounts, but twice a year for example would be nice.Title: Re: Bitcoin Friday, the fallout: Merchants how did we do ?

Yeah, twice a year would be good. Once a year is too long in Bitcoin time :) Title: Re: Bitcoin Friday, the fallout: Merchants how did we do ?

Or using round numbers every 32256 blocks (that's 16 times 2016)? :) Title: Re: Bitcoin Friday, the fallout: Merchants how did we do ? Post by: allthingsluxury on November 14, 2012, 02:18:57 AM We had huge success and it was by far our most successful "bitcoin" day. I would most certainly be open to doing it twice a year. I think most merchants can agree that once a month would be wayyy too much hah. If anything bitcoin friday did a great job of spreading awareness of what can be purchased with bitcoins.

I had as many sales in one day as I usually have in a month, and I sold out very quickly too, meaning that I could've probably sold even more.

Watch out for Bitcoin Friday 2013, it's gonna be crazy!
