Yeah, I just checked. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

The memo stated Feb. 14th at Midnight. That would have at least given us time to make some changes prior to the Monday rush.


Who knows, perhaps Brad figured out what a bad idea it was and pulled the plug! NOT.

I definitely hope so!


The way I look at it is, I already make the least amount of money of all parties involved. After marketing costs, operating costs and taxes are subtracted from my commissions, HMU makes more than I do per sale.


If you also figure in the fact that I can get much lower base prices for the top selling meds elsewhere, I'll have no choice but to abandon ship, extra meds to sell or not. smileys/smiley19.gif

Your sites will show a different price than the orderform unless you upload your old pricelist that you should have exported a couple days ago.!!

Rob, I feel the same way. Depends how severe they take this increase. I downloaded my prices to compare / contrast.

Logged in right after your post and see no difference here. Perhaps they are rolling these out affiliate to affiliate.

RxRob

you need to go to the tropicsp.com order page for you site.


Your pricelist will look as before until you update it!

Here's a good one:


Viagra 10 - 100 mg Tablets168.69 (base price!)

I looked at this example and its the old price. They must be rolling these out. That's the only explanation. Ummm, that is so bad, who wouldn't change their links?


If all affiliates switched and HMU relied on reorders at these rates, they wont last anyways. All affiliates: prepare for major complaints from your client base regarding these increases. THis is huge and will be the breaking point for this OP.

They simply want all affiliates to go away and then rely on PPC and reorders. That way they don't have to give a cut to the affiliates. Right now they pay$45-$50 to an affiliate for every sale. They can buy 3 clicks in adwords for that money at $15/click or less for #1 spot for all meds. At 1:3 conversion ratioit is as good as a order brought by an affiliate. Also going offshore must have increased their margins by a big amount as they don't pay any tax in USA now and also the labor costs are much lower in DR as compared to FL.

NO sh*t When did I start charging 19.95 for shipping on ALL meds Theo has it so you can change the base prices without f**king with the affiliates price list. Where is that import button again. <sigh>

I see my commissions have been pretty much cut in half with their new base prices and new suggested selling price in my pricelists. My phent 90-37.5 base did go down $4.00 LOL


DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR OLD PRICES!


Base price on a lot of meds are higher than my old selling prices.


I think we've been f**ked and not even a kiss! smileys/smiley19.gif

that's clear now, they want to shut down the affiliate program without spelling it out, how smart.


wonder what's the impact on those top-level affiliates?

Well, since they took the liberty of changing my shipping price as well (was free shipping on most 90 day orders), I think I'll make it easier on myself and just change my affiliate links over to RxMedical's.


I moved over a majority of my"then EVA"ad campaigning toRxMedical months ago with my aggressive campaigns because of lower decline rates. Their group has benefitted with the amount of revenue I'm generating for them a month. Sure I spend 7K to make 12K a month giving me 5K at the end of the day; but what RxMedcial see's is 12k worth of my commission sales (not to mention what the revenue # must be) and I'm just a fart in the wind. Therehundreds of other affiliates generating salesupon sales; whether they are small potatoes orbig potatoes - bottom line: they make sales. Turnkeyrx simply does not see this. It reminds me of the 3 gold diggers looking for gold, willing to split it 3 ways. But once they find it,one of the three getsgreedy and tries to cheat, still, and manipulate to get a bigger share.


TurnkeyRx, you're outnumbered and we will NOT forget, so here is my official FU-UCK YOU! http://rxaffiliateforum.com/smileys/smiley27.gif

Most of my commissions now are $25 per order with their new base prices and their suggested selling prices. take $15 away for the phone solicitation and I have little left. smileys/smiley19.gif

HMU just destroyed TurkeyRx.com with this price hike.


Can anyone think of ONE good reason to be with HMU vs RxMEd or Impact considering the new base pricing?


I have run out of reasons to stay as of today..

Nope, this is the last straw. Just changed my links. HMU/TurnkeyRX just screwed themselves!! smileys/smiley6.gif

bye bye dip-sh*ts. Frock the reorders! don't even give acrap anymore. Hopefully everyone will desert this sinking ship.

95% of my commissions are now $25 with their adjusting of my prices. I guess that is what they are willing to pay.


Now we know why the new import export price schedule feature for easy updating of prices. LOL

You dont need toemail your customers to tell them to switch (as it may be illegal) but what about just emailing them and telling them HMU sucks . Is that illegal? or how about telling them yourwebsite.com is no longer accepting orders so if they get a call or email that they should consider this fraud? It's true isn't it ? or maybe tell them HMU sucks and there drugs are being sold to them by an offshore company . . . that alone may scare some people into stopping ordering. Is that illegal ?








hmmmmmmm

I believe that Theo is incorrect on this point. You can do this so long as it does not exceed the pharmacy guidelines. That would be the same as saying that you cannot get your prescription filled at one pharmacy, then the next time you are due, go to a different pharmacy. I agree with his point about using it as a tool to "beat the system", this is clearly illegal. I think that many people used to e-mail customers who got denied by one system, telling them about another system that they could try. This is criminal, and should be punished to the full extent of the law, but simply recommending another pharmacy to your customers, and doing everything possible to make sure that laws are not circumvented in the process sounds OK by me.

looks like the email was deleted?


I can't find any federal law that states you cannot email customers if you switch your sites from hmu. I've looked all day, can't seem to find that law.

What's up with the $0 price items. Does that mean they're no
longer offered or can we just change it to whatever and add
them back into the system?

redex
February 18th, 2004, 02:02 AM
If the base price is $0.00 they are not available, if your sell price is $0.00 better change it or you will be losing money fast.

February 18th, 2004, 05:32 AM
Hmmm....that's what I figured. Until I saw other sites that are still
offering items that were zeroed out. smileys/smiley3.gif

To get the meds to become active, ask who ever you signed up under to add them for you. Depending on how far down the food chain you are, it could be quick or it could take forever.

I haven't paid too much attention to HMU lately since I'm gonna stop promoting them fairly soon.



I sell a lot of Ambien until I looked at the "updated" Ambien base
prices. I didn't notice anything weird until I see a re-order for
Ambien come in and I LOST $20.00 on it.



All the base prices a freakin' total BS at the moment.
