Hi everyone -
It's a trade off between doing things that might annoy some people in the banners vs. reducing the number of days we need to run banners at all. It's hard to find the right balance.
Not at all. You can always reduce spending.
We're always trying to find the least annoying banners that make the most money so that we can run them the shortest possible time.
You failed.
The alternating message banners work really well on the last couple days because there are two different very effective messages in those days. But we're always looking for a better way, so maybe next year we won't have to do alternating messages at all.
Or to put it another way you will do whatever you please with the banner no matter how foolish and there is nothing we can do about it. Understood. Please understand that we may chose to view things differently.
