Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

5k cpm at beginning I think

Did they really shift 5000 of the first one?  Yowzers...

it was over 5K because after Memebox told us that the boxes were selling out soon on their FB page, someone was able to put in 5000 and put it in their cart (this was before they changed their program to limit an amount to 100 - in fact, it was this public mocking that made memebox change their program!)

so, I think they started out with 6K

there was only 500 of box 1, there was over 5,760 of box 2 ,then they blocked us from checking how many over 100, as we asked why so many.

That was only 200 or 500 boxes, I believe.

The first one there weren't that many and it sold pretty fast. I think for CPM2 the person who does the purchase orders for vendors hit 1 to many zeros, LOL

I'm thinking a 1000% rise in sales is a little ambitious for most companies.  It can't just be a finger fudge moment, someone would have stopped it before it got that far.

Maybe they thought CPM2 was going to be their great leap forward and it just went catastrophically wrong?

 

[Jane George]

Lol hence why they will be there when my grandchildren want a memebox

 

[biancardi]

yeah, they just looked at her followers and thought - wow, we can sell 6K easy!

No, there was way less of that box but people said they really liked it so they over ordered the second box BIG TIME. marcia also did a lack-lustre YouTube promotion of it (admitting she hadnt tried most of the stuff) so people weren't impressed. The box has been with us ever since despite people asking for it to be removed and new boxes added. The managers at memebox just don't care what the customers think..to the point of ridiculing us by shoving the stuff in other boxes (K style was an absolute disgrace).

But...people are starting to go elsewhere now for skin care products. Yes they've lost the box appeal but can buy wht they want, often much cheaper than memebox(and get free samples to try too).

The customer services reps are baring the brunt of it but its the MD that makes the decision so entirely his fault if the business ultimately fails in the long run.

If the products in it were all awesome like the Appletox and Hallabong serum, they probably would have sold them all. The value just wasn't there as the other 4 products were cheap stuff no one wants.

Worse, it'll be like the Memebox equivalent of the Atari video game burial.  They'll leave them for so long it'll become myth and legend and then be unearthed 30 years later and sell on ebay for thousands.

I think the idea was there, I just think they really misjudged what people wanted.

Heard back from Karl on Twitter. More Memebox coming in 2015.

 

[Jane George]

Lol and by that time they will lose even more customers

 

[LoveSkinCare]

I tried to take one off their hands as I bought it in a bundle with the Innisfree box and we all know how that ended up. They canceled the whole order. I wonder how many people did the same as me as those cancelled boxes all went back to stock.

 

[Paulina PS]

I think they still misjudge what we want which is BOXES and good ones not some cheap makeup line of their own. And please, take CPM2 out of our faces right NOW!

I know, I shouldn't shout but they literally make me crazy these days!

 

[thelavalampgirl]

In keeping with the holiday season CPM2 is the ghost of past, present and future.

I just discovered that all of the registered mail from Memebox coming to Canada now requires signatures..  :scared:   :scared:  And Canada Post refuses to safe drop the package even if you leave them a note. That means I have to make a big trip to the depot this week.. Why... Sigh...

I wonder why they cannot make an announcement of that nature on FB, their website and newsletters.

Probably because they have no idea when in 2015.
