Mammy: Our marketting of the monthly special was my idea, and to my knowledge, other design companies were not pushing this when we released our first monthly special. Since then, we've had many monthly specials, all of which have been successful.
Sure other designers do monthly specials, but I would not regard this as theft of an idea, as just about every other industry & business does the same thing, it's called marketing.
The 100 banners for $500, that's a monthly special, it too is called marketing, but is also known as 'competition' - which ultimiately benifits the consumer, and we're all a lot better off because of competition. I would not regard offering cheaper prices as criminal.
And finally the summer special, many companies do this, once again, another example of marketting, it's to combat the slowdown over summer & keep work rolling in. This to benifits the consumer, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't think webinc or any other company for that matter has a trademark on 'summer' or 'summer specials'
