This year, we wanted to send Christmas Cards and some choclate to our VIP players.
The first hassle already is defining the target group. Obviously, we'd love to send such a card to every member - which is just logistically (and financially) not possible. So you have to draw a line somewhere. Is this line going to be fair? Well, in a way no: someone with X SP in Period Y gets it, while someone with X-1 SP in Period Y or even X*2 SP in Period Y-1 does not get it. But it's fair in the sense that we decdied for drawing the line without looking at the players affected. Still, someone might always be upset, but that's a general problem about nearly all goodies you give out.
But even more work is actually producing, labelling, packaging and sending out thousands of cards and small packages with choclate.
That's just one of the three 'sets'.
Yes, these poor girls had to package & carry all your choclate!
Do you find Korn?

Afaik, the definition was:1. Generated 7,500 SP in either October or November
2. Entered correct address in profile
Additionally, with thousands of cards, there will ultimately problems (on our end or on the post end). So probably, there will be a small number of mistakes/failed deliveries even for those who met 1 & 2.

Brilliant!Very often it's these small little things that generate tons of goodwill from your customers.

I thought there was skype names for all the girls at the back of the card, but no...At least the chocolate helped me in my heartaches. Merry Christmas to you all!
