I’m BARELY out of the weeds from BerserkerDay VIII, then caught a head cold on Sunday to help me focus ever-so-well, but it’s time to chat about NEXT BerserkerDay, which will be IX (the 9th)…and after that, amazingly, the 10th! BerserkerDay X, or, as I’ll call it, BDX, which makes BerserkerDay IX BDIX! Sweet, we have acronyms! #bdix
My notes, comments, and I ask for yours as well, of course.
First of all, I think the Newbie threads were universally a HUGE hit. I definitely plan to do that next year. Because we covered Freshmen and Sophomores this year, next will be JUST Freshmen, probably, just the ‘first year’ offers, and again, just wineries.
I think the group launches were good, better than the one-every-5-minutes option, as well as the ‘free-for-all’ thereafter, so it captures both a more organized option, highlighting launch groups, but also the madness of ‘regular’ threads which get bumped based on popularity. To me, that provided something for everybody, but invite your feedback nonetheless.
I’d like to see about getting group buys together - wineries from a certain region getting together to make BerserkerDay Sampler Pack Cases, which ship together. That would be tremendous, but the issue is likely to be financial - how do the wineries divide the money, who collects it, etc? We could have several - even many of them - but would have to figure out logistics carefully.
Timing seemed to work pretty well to me - 7:30 - 11:30 am PST, with auctions noon to 8pm, groups launched in 30 minute increments.
I turned down several last minute folks on BerserkerDay to keep things clean, and limited the number to some extent, so we aren’t overwhelmed with offers, thus making folks lose out easily if they don’t do everything right.
That’s about it for me…feel free to give me your thoughts/suggestions either here (preferred, so we can all discuss) or privately via PM
