Wen

This is the notifications listing for alerts about upcoming Wen specials, OTOs, and TSV advance information. This is an idea in progress.

While I've put the list together, this is really a joint Wen group endeavor. So please feel free to share any ideas you have about how this listing could be used to benefit everyone.

TYPES OF WEN ALERTS

These are my ideas about the most effective ways to use this list.

I thought it would be best not to send out that many alerts. This way, when you get an alert, you'll know that it's about a time sensitive Wen special value or offer. -- These are types of alerts that I would generally send out:

1) Wen OTOs -- OTOs are One TIme Only values. Generally we get very little advance information about Wen OTOs and, once they are presented on the air, they frequently sell out in as little as 5-7 minutes.

2) Advance Wen TSV order numbers -- Frequently The Insider (InsideQ magazine) will list the advance order number(s) for upcoming Wen TSVs. Sometimes the advance TSV quantities sell out in a few days, so I think it's helpful to receive a notification that the advance order numbers have been listed. -- Please Note: QVC does not allow us to share these order numbers (and so I won't do that). You can receive the advance order number(s) information by subscribing to the Insider -- The Insider - get advance order #s for select TSVs by joining InsideQ magazine

3) Occasional Wen special values which are likely to sell out really quickly -- There are lots of special offers and so I wouldn't send out alerts for most of them. -- A good example of a special offer alert that I would send out would be for the 8oz supersize Remoist ($59) which sells for the price of the 4oz Remoist. That special offer always sells out very quickly and is not offered very often.

4) Sales at Chaz's website (e.g. Chaz's Black Friday Sale and his Mother's Day Sale -- note these sales are not always offered).

SHARING INFORMATION ABOUT WEN SPECIAL OFFERS

I'm usually around during the Wen special offers, so I'll generally be available to send out these alerts. -- If I know that I won't be available, I'll be sure to share that in advance.

That said, if anyone comes across a great Wen special offer, please feel free to use this list to let everyone know about it: the purpose of this notifications listing is to make sure that Wenners know about time sensitive, Wen special offers asap.

SEND OUT WEN NOTIFICATIONS -- "HOW TO"

How I've been sending out notifications

* I set up a new thread marked "Wen - Notification thread - " and include the specifics of the special value

* Then I cut and paste the listings from each message. The QVC system will only let you include a maximum of 20 individual notifications per individual message.

* Make sure to include a brief sentence before you cut and paste the notification names. For example, "This is today's OTO". -- Modify each message because, otherwise, the QVC system will think you are sending out spam and they will block your messages (I found this out the hard way). -- To get a better idea of what I mean, you can look at the Wen - OTO Notification thread - 2 OTOs - 2 Fall CCs & RTMs, OR Rice TVS & SC thread.

ADDING OR DELETING YOUR NAME FROM THE WEN NOTIFICATIONS LIST

If you would like to be added to the Wen Notification Alerts Listing just post a message on this thread and I'll add you to the listing.

If you don't want to receive notifications any longer, then just post a message on this thread and I'll delete your name from the listing.

___

FINDING YOUR NAME ON THE WEN NOTIFICATIONS LISTING

Names which begin with a number are listed first.

After that, one word names are listed alphabetically.

Names which have two or more separate words in them are listed last. -- Please read the next section if your name has two or more words in it because, for these names, the notifications system is glitchy.

I've left some extra messages in this listing so that I can add more names to it, because there can only be a maximum of 20 notifications per message. -- If you've recently asked to be added to the list and you can't find your name, then check in message #20. If you don't find it there, then post a message to this thread and I will add it to the list.

___

SENDING NOTIFICATIONS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE MULTIPLE WORD NAMES

Adding the folks with two word names is problematic, because the computer system is glitchy for you. -- You may want to read through this Moderator question - problem w/ Notification names thread and then email QVC about getting your notification name modified.

I'd recommend that you modify your names by adding an underscore between the first and second words of your name. In otherwords, change Wen Style to Wen_Style, or Wen 4ever to Wen_4ever.

The way your names are currently set up, I have to do somersaults to get your notifications out (cutting & pasting your notification names does not work).

As I mentioned before, this is really a joint Wen group endeavor. So please feel free to share any ideas you have about how this listing could be used for the benefit of Wenners.
