Topbox Price Increase

Earlier in the month, I just posted my first blog entry talking about Topbox. But a few days ago, I got an email from them the launch of Topbox online shop and price change.. hmmmm how do I feel about that?

 welll I don't know yet until I see my December box.. I will give it a few months.. maybe until  March?? to see if it's worth it. I agree that Topbox has more brand names, I got a full size Deborah Lippmann nail polish before, and that alone is worth 20 something dollars




Here are just parts of the email they sent me

Hi,

Topbox has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 12 months.  If you visited our site last October, we had only 6 brand partners.  Now, we now have over 40 prestige brands partners!  Moreover, we are aiming to partner with over 100 prestige beauty brands by the end of 2013.  Here are some of our existing brand partners:

So, in order to partner with over 100 prestige beauty brands, we need to further demonstrate that these samples are leading to improved sales for the brands.  That's why we are creating an online store on Topbox.ca (with FREE SHIPPING), where we can show the sales that comes from sending you samples.  By creating the online store, we have already secured 20 new prestige brands for your upcoming Topboxes, and there are many more to come!

As a result of partnering with more brands through the building of this store, we are increasing the prices on subscriptions.  Subscriptions will now cost $12 per month. The new price is in effect for December's Topbox, which you are charged for in November.  (Reminder: we have always billed our members the month before they receive their Topbox)

..................

We believe these changes will allow us to be better at offering you exciting new products from the brands you love.  We sincerely appreciate your business and we invite you to write back with any comments, feedback or questions you might have about these changes.  We look forward to hearing from you.

So in the email they offered me a coupon code for $10 dollars off from their online store. That is not too bad, and I might use it if i see a product worth buying.

The $2 price increase is not too significant.. .. so I shall wait and see
