While Encore implies context of having seen it already, the purpose of the segment is to attract folks who don’t know of the Meh site. There’s an upcoming project where this makes even more sense but we’re testing it out on MorningSave for now.
You might notice a slight nudge up on pricing that is built in to help out publishing partners when we can’t due to slim margin here.
@snapster I just went to look and I guess I am a little puzzled how that is different than MorningSave? I mean I realize you said you are going to add something later, but right now it I am not sure what differentiates it from MS unless it is going to only carry stuff that didn’t sell out on meh (that you don’t maybe have enough left to offer it a second time on meh??? - just stabbing in the dark here)… where as MS seems to have both that and other stuff not sold on meh? I noticed when I clicked on encore (where it was in brackets right below meh.) and it brought me to meh and I had been expecting to see an explanation of encore.
@f00l All I am talking about is on the page they already have, have a link to that elsewhere. As it is clicking on encore sends them to meh. Why not just have a link to meh?
@narfcake haha nope - the letters stayed off. I need to sell that thing. It was great combo for kids and still fun driving though. REPO was my favorite
@RiotDemon That might have to do with the way MorningSave is set up. Since it seems like Mediocre is trying to partner with existing media producers to market this stuff (at least, I assume things like ExtraTV and The Real are existing YouTube channels or something, because I sure never heard of them before MorningSave), I think either Mediocre or these partners want to know how well the same thing sells when it’s linked to a certain property or marketed in a certain way vs. when it isn’t.

@snapster One of my favorite things about MS is the sun rising in the logo when I go to a new page. Super awesome and satisfying.
@Kidsandliz you have to switch perspectives to see it as someone who has never heard about Meh.
@luvche21 it’s been really hard for me to take the brand seriously but thanks - I do like that as well.
@snapster It’s not the brand that I expected to see from you after Woot and Meh, but it totally fits with the crowd you’re going for, so that’s OK.
@snapster
Thanks for the explanation. But why then just not have a link straight to meh?
@Kidsandliz
Eye candy right in front of the shopper is better than a link to elsewhere?

I feel like any moment Meh is simply going to buy a corvette.
/giphy midlife crisis
@DrunkCat Why? @snapster has a yellow Porsche already.
@narfcake I’m pleased it’s just mid-life.
@snapster Well I guess it is now clear that he was your younger, rather than older, brother LOL
@snapster
Time will screw us all, so happy about your yellow Porsche.

@snapster Did you ever put any of the letters back on?
@narfcake haha nope - the letters stayed off. I need to sell that thing. It was great combo for kids and still fun driving though. REPO was my favorite
@snapster What are you driving now?
@compunaut Tesla Model X P100D. so much quieter than Big Bird (what a friend of mine called my yellow cayenne)
@snapster so jealous!!!
@snapster How are you liking those wings?
@compunaut Forget the falcon wings!
/giphy ludicrous speed!
WTF? I clicked and there wasn’t a single knife, Bluetooth speaker, or quadcopter.
@lljk Of course not. They all sell out.
where’s my speakerdocks @snapster
Today’s item for sale on Meh is sold out over at MorningSave.
I trust you guys know what you’re doing so I won’t question it
@Collin1000
@Collin1000 I noticed one day that some makeup was sold out on one of the tv show sections, but available in the other.

@lljk they’re shows on actual tv. I’ve seen them playing on the tv at work.
@denboy
Could we trust the content of that gif?
@PlacidPenguin
@RiotDemon I would rather buy stuff from Mario Lopez than a computer. Wouldn’t you?
The powerbanls need to be in meh encore too
