Maybe when you offer custom orders, have a big stipulation clause dealio in all caps like<br /><br />FOR CUSTOM ORDERS: To complete your order, please include your preferences in the Message to Seller during checkout. If I do not receive your preferences, your order will ship with these X,Y,Z.<br /><br />And Spreggo wins my best advice of the month award for this little gem!!! <br />"It might not be an ideal solution, but customers are rarely ideal problems."<br /><br />Genius!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335094900670837784.post-53268395061148507422009-09-24T13:09:55.216-07:002009-09-24T13:09:55.216-07:00Would it save money to list a few preset varieties...Would it save money to list a few preset varieties that they can choose from, rather than having them tell you what they want?<br /><br />So you'd have the following listings:<br /><br />1. Kit 1 (a, b, c)<br />2. Kit 2 {a, d, e)<br />3 Kit 3 {a, b, f)<br />4. et cetera<br /><br />(letters are component varieties)<br /><br />I know that no matter how hard you try, people are really terrible at making choices without being prodded. Then they get mad when you weren't able to read their mind (this happens to me at work).<br /><br />The solution is to just give them a few predetermined choices that satisfy the common denominator, and then some custom options (ask you directly) for the exceptional customer.<br /><br />It might not be an ideal solution, but customers are rarely ideal problems.Spreggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079222610904639611noreply@blogger.com
