Films First Price Promo`s

Hi Guys
Things are a bit thin on the ground generally in our industry so we have come up with a few exclusive specials of our own.As well as the current Warner £4.95 and mixed £1.99 titles we are running we have just added some Friends,Babylon 5 ,Muppets from Space (sorry but it is cheap),and other bits and pieces to keep things a bit more interesting.
Would the following be of any interest at £5.99,French & Saunders Live,Lee Hurst Live at the Backyard,Randall and Hopkirk Deceased series 1,Graham Norton Live at the Roundhouse,and Ricky Tomlinson Laughter my Arse.We would be delighted for your comments and suggestions for any other areas of interest we could try to tailor make promotions to for.

Thanks for your response.We do have a different position to mosr dvd retailers in so much that we have been historically a Rental Wholesaler.However as novices in the e-retailing market place we maybe prone to a few naieve hiccups we would appreciate any advice as to how to bring something interesting to the party !
Any errors we do make please rest assured we will do our utmost to remedy if not please contact me direct on yrag[at]ten.tsrifsmlif (OMG what have I let myself in for ! )

RE: Films First

Nick THEY ARE DEFINITELY THERE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE HOME PAGE.
UNFORTUNATELY RENTAL PRODUCT IS LARGELY VANILLA AND AS A WHOLESALER WE GET HUNDREDS OF THEM.i ESTIMATE THAT PRICE WOULD BE AROUND £10 FOR MAJOR RELEASES.WOULD THIS BE OF INTEREST OR WOULD MEMBERS PREFER TO WAIT FOR THE RETAIL RELEASE AND ALL THE EXTRA FEATURES ?

Films First

We have put some £4.95 titles on our home page today.If these prove to be popular we intend to extend the list over the next few days.If this proves not to be the case we would be interested to hear what the forum thinks are the best promotions leaving aside industry wide campaigns and cut price blockbuster titles.Is there a market for ex-rental region 2 around 4 weeks after release and months ahead of the Retail release date ????All product would be clean and fully guaranteed

RE: filmsfirst.net

Very sorry about your experience with us Pete,we can only strive to do better.Since Christmas we have sent orders to 2500 people and we have had a few glitches but the repeat business we have had has proved to be very satisfying.This is no consolation to you I agree.
We have added some £4.95 titles today on a first come first served basis,the potential problem here is that they may prove to be so popular that we run out of stock quickly.So our dilemma is "Should we put them up or not"?.This happened with Black Hawk Down at £9.99 after we sold the 300 units so I would appreciate youe comments even though we seem to have lost your future custom.

Kind Regards

Our Pleasure guys.Enjoy !

Greek Wedding

We are currently offering My Greek Fat Wedding at a great price along with Dog Soldiers,xxx,Windtalkers etc.Give us some ideas (sensible please) of what other promos we can investigate that are a bit different to the norm.
How about ex-rental dvd`s at low prices ? we have large stocks of these that we can make available approx 4 weeks after rental release date,and they all carry our normal no quibble return policy.They dont have all the extras or booklets that you get with some retail titles but are Much CHEAPER.Comments please .

RE: www.filmsfirst.net

ok guys.ENOUGH ALREADY !

the incentive is now officially closed.Again many thanks to all that replied I think from our perspective it has been a really worthwhile exercise.

Later today we will post the names of the 5 winners,please have your dvd choice ready(not box sets)any currently available title would help us administratively but if there is something coming out soon that would be ok as well.
This is the kind of thing we will look to do regularly so for those who arent successful good luck next time

RE: www.filmsfirst.net

OMG What have we let ourselves in for !!!!!

No seriously folks I am seriously impressed with the clarity and intelligence of the replies that have been coming through.Virtually every point made deserves our fullest attention and will be treated as such(should meet all this criteria by 2007)
We are eager to learn,we have a proven and successful track record in the industry but by listening to the people on here we have excellent tuition on tap.
We will let this run until the weekend and then post names of dvd winners.
Thanks for your input.

RE: £1.99 DVD`s

Cool very sorry that we have disappointed you so much with not being able to supply the item you required.Again its very concerning that you are so unimpressed with our site but should you wish to comment on how we can improve our service I would be delighted to talk to you direct.
For your information we have a multi million pound turnover supplying the trade with Rental and Retail product since 1981 and this is our first foray into e-retailing so please be patient and hopefully we can regain your confidence.
