woosaj Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm just curious if there are planned any black friday deals for Photo or Designer? Anselm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi woosajWelcome to the forums!We have no plans for a Black Friday discount at the moment. If this changes, we'll let everyone know :) J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwighty Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Mmmmm, I was hoping on a deal cause I missed the latest discount of 20% 2 months ago for designer. Also photo looks promissing but sorry to say pixelmator have an 50% discount on black friday Please reconsider I would buy both designer as photo when they are on sale.

VIPStephan Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Black Friday has no meaning anywhere other than the United States, so… yeah, that’s why. allenbham, MacGueurle and tonyt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGueurle Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I think AP and AD are the ultimate bargain, even at full price. They are not necessarily full-featured and mature like PS and Illustrator yet, but they are getting there fast. Consider the huge price difference between these four apps, you'll know what I mean. Pixelmator for me is nice and cute but it's more of an eye-candy interface and app, I find and it never totally does what I want it to. I'd consider Acorn to be more of a serious app for what I need when I work on my photos but AP is already beyond that at version 1.3.5. I haven't tried the customer betas yet, I'm waiting for the official update, but AP and AD betas sound very cool indeed.

anon1 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Pixelmator is not even close to AP - I've got it but I always want to quit it after a few seconds! peter and MacGueurle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi there! What about an Cyber Monday deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauland Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Black Friday has no meaning anywhere other than the United States That's no longer true. I've been bombarded with Black Friday offers from US comanies and UK companies alike. Anselm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenbham Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well, I bought AD on Black Friday. But only by coincidence. If there's a Cyber Monday deal, too late for me, eh? I'll already be using the app, so I'll be happy enough. MacGueurle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Black Friday has no meaning anywhere other than the United States, so… yeah, that’s why. Whilst that was true a couple of years ago, but BF is now being compared to the Boxing day sales: so if there were to be a reduction in App prices...wouldn't it be showcased in the MAS?

Dave Harris Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't think we're planning Boxing Day sales either. It's not an issue of nationality. allenbham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You paid for Apple hardware (probably at a premium)... and now you need cheap(er) software? ;) I might be biased, but Affinity is a bargain at our full price. If we'd sold it for $200, would you think it was a bargain at $100? allenbham, anon1 and My Strawberry Monkey 3 Quote SerifLabs team - Affinity Developer Software engineer - Photographer - Guitarist - Philosopher iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015), 4.0GHz i7, AMD Radeon R9 M395 MacBook (Early 2015), 1.3GHz Core M, Intel HD 5300 iPad Pro 10.5", 256GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameIsNotAName Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 my suggestion would be to create a pack (designer+photo) and take £5 off (people will understand it's already so cheap and you're making the effort to offer a deal) -> convince me to buy! *on a side note, wouldn't it be easier to use the email as username for the forum site? chrome stores email/password for each site and fills it in automatically thanks for your hard work! It's refreshing to see an alternative to Adobe and importing AI and PSD is killer feature and it works really well (doesn't bother me you can't save back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooslow Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I saw a sign a few years ago "Buy one, get one". Yorkshire of course, where else? And before the pc, taking offence by proxy brigade jump in, I'm a Yorkshireman. When it's out of beta I'm happy to pay £39.99 for AP. Or £49.99. Or £59.99. Or.... As I have posted elsewhere Photoshop, back when you could buy it, was six hundred pounds, or thereabouts. Now maybe AP isn't there quite yet but it's heading in the right direction.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 25, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 25, 2016 Some (independent) online shops have taken to closing completely on Black Friday, as it is not something they want to be seen as partaking in...

Staff Ben Posted November 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2016 The problem wth Black Friday is that people are expecting the sales - so the sales effectively become the standard price, since most people will wait to buy at the reduced price. Certain big online retailers beginning with 'A' know this, and they adjust their prices so that the sale price is the price they really want to sell for. Anyone who tracks prices will see that Black Friday sales this year were just throwing the same stock out at the prices from a couple of months ago. Why would any sane retailer want to get on board with this charade?
