I know that this topic is similar to the ongoing poll I have running on the homepage, but I'm curious ...

From a merchant's standpoint, what do you think you could have done to make your last so so or failed joint venture fueled promotion more successful?

I have my opinions, of course ... but I'd like to hear from fellow partners that have suffered, and are looking for answers ... and I'd also appreciate the responses of those partners that think they can provide those answers ... and/or a few helpful tips derived from experience they wish to share.

I'll chime in with my own thoughts as the thread grows.

Much success,

Mike
