The bitsdujour promo was a big hit on slickdeals- made front page. 50k+ hits and some 400+ posts in about 34 hours. Things were rolling along at a fairly even pace of 5-7k hits the first 5 hours or so (the original post on slickdeals was made about 10 hours prior to the offer going live) , then the MBAM deal hit front page and the responses and hits really took off. I get an email with every response to my posts- my phone was going nuts with notices of mail received.

I have made slickdeals posts that made front page before, and with a higher hit number. But those were mainly for media products (free offers for DVD/ Blu-Ray Rippers, video converters, etc). But I have never had a security product get hits like this.

For instance, I have posts about the free offers for several security product promos - like a dozen or more over the past year - all well known and respected brand names. You could add all their hits together and not come up to 1/3 the response MBAM received as a paid promo. Simply amazing response. I tried to answer as many posts as possible, and referred some user questions to this forum. Overall there is a lot of support for this product and it has a very large, loyal following. Heck a lot of responses were people wanting to purchase just to show thanks for the freeware version of MBAM that has helped them out in the past.

A couple suggestions about the product for MBAM to consider-

1. There was a lot of concern about the length of the license. I realize the info is posted on the site. But consumers were really having a hard time having it explained to them. The slickdeals lot is usually a picky bunch. But clear info about the length of the license on the purchase page may help with concerns. The $14.99 promo had many people thinking this was a one year license.

2. There was a lot of concern over the MBAM paid product name. I guess the paid product is essentially called the "Full" version. But it would help with marketing if something more specific was made to differentiate from the free product.

3. Not one complaint about not being able to test the full version before buying.

4. Several responses about contacting MBAM support during the promo and getting fast and helpful responses.

The above are just my 2 cents worth.

Anyway, it was a great promo. Thanks.

Forgot to add a couple things. First the bitsdujour promo did not get off to a good start as there was a referral link problem. That was corrected within a short time (I'm wanting to say about an hour or so). Then there was a period when the licenses were sold out- for about another hour or so. But that was remedied later when the deal went live again- probably the last 4 hours or so.

Thank you for that valuable information. It was a great promotion and we hope to do a similar one soon.

1. There was a lot of concern about the length of the license. I realize the info is posted on the site. But consumers were really having a hard time having it explained to them.

When our new website template launches in a few weeks, that will be our main item to address.

2. There was a lot of concern over the MBAM paid product name. I guess the paid product is essentially called the "Full" version. But it would help with marketing if something more specific was made to differentiate from the free product.

I agree, and this is something on the main agenda for the new site launch.

3. Not one complaint about not being able to test the full version before buying.

I think we have a lot of trust built up in the security community and that is part of the reason. I think the promotion being so inexpensive was the other part. That being said, we actually aim to launch a trial version in the next version or so just to show users how the product works etc.

4. Several responses about contacting MBAM support during the promo and getting fast and helpful responses.

We aim to be responsive, and we have a great support team to thank for that!

Thanks again for the valuable information!

I think the only other issue I forgot to bring up in an earlier post is that there were some requests/suggestions that the MBAM site have one of those 2-3 minute youtube-like videos to show how the product works, different settings, etc. Sometimes these need to include pretty obvious things like where and how to apply the product key. A fairly large number of people were wanting to how to exclude MBAM from antivirus scanners and what to do when an error message pops up, had a couple of those on install attempts. Some suggestions were that a quick video or two would be a nice supplement to a FAQ page.

I'll bring that up to the team, thank you!
