Thank you.

If you make a discount period too long, people think “I will do it next week” and then they forget. So it is better (for the vendor!) to make it reasonably short and inject a little bit of urgency. That said, if someone missed the discount by a few days and sends me a nice email, I will usually send them a discount token.

It is high on my todo list to generate some articles and videos showing how Hyper Plan can be applied to different application areas.
