I dreamt a dream recently.
Where at my work we had a sale called "The Lucky Penny."
Which basically was an orange stamp looking sticker that had "lucky penny" written on it.
The way the Lucky Penny worked,
was that each day we'd get a certain amount of 'stamps' say like 10.
And we could choose a product to put the stamp on.
Like a can of food, or a bag, or something like that.
And if a customer found that item that had the sticker on it.
Then they would pay the 'lucky penny' price.
Which basically meant you'd pay "pennies" for the item instead of the full amount.
In the dream a woman had bought two $1.00 bags with the sticker on them. And after scanning both bags she ended up paying a nickel total. As one ended up being $0.03 and the other $0.02 cents.
It definitely is an interesting concept to consider.
Being able to make a person's day because they'd found a Lucky Penny on their product.
Though I could see the draw backs to this sort of sale.
Like say a penny stamp was place on an item that cost hundreds of dollars.
The store would probably lose money that way. :S
There's also the concern that customers could go mob crazy trying to find the ten stamps within the store. Leading to fights, stressed out coworkers, and of course, a store left looking like a hurricane had hit it.
Still...
It's a fun concept.
It may have to have a bit more of a random factor to it though.
Instead of it being a stamp on a product.
It may be an algorithm within the computer/register where after a certain amount of transactions, a customer would get the "Lucky Penny" status where their entire transaction would amount to just a few pennies. Probably something like a penny per item bought or something like that.
That could be fun. Especially if you never knew when it was going to happen.
Lucky Pennies....
definitely something to think about. :)
