**Editing to add** I also just posted this in the designer conference room but wanted to ask in here also since this is also kind of S4O/S4H related, I'd like to get opinions as to how you feel about this not only as a designer, but also what are your views when you are shopping for S4O papers/elements/kits? All opinions welcome & appreciated ladies! This will really help me out! Thanks!:)

I'm not really sure how to set up a poll or I would but I'm just wondering, when you have a larger kit (and ALL my kits are now S4O/S4H Friendly if that makes any difference when a customer/client is browsing the shoppe) do you ever break them down into seperates? Like sell the papers (say a 15 or 20 pack) seperate and then sell the element pack (like 50 or more elements)seperate?

And if you DO have the option for people to buy *just* the papers or the elements...do you also put it all together in a full size kit for those who would like to purchase the entire thing all at once?

The only reason I ask is b/c like a year ago when I first started designing b4 I even knew much about S4O, I remember a small discussion (and I can't even remember what forum this was in now...) about people being annoyed about having to purchase an entire kit-but maybe they only were just looking for a few certain elements or a few certain papers. So I JUST started giving the option with my last 2 kits of purchasing them as seperates (just the paper pack or just the element pack) OR you also have the option to purchase the entire kit!

I'm just trying this out to see how it goes, I've had a few sales that I know of on my seperates so far, I'm not sure about the full size kits yet. I was just wondering what everyone else does and what your views/opinions are on this?

Here's what I'm talking about incase I confused anyone? LOL! This will link to one of my shoppes and I have my Boys in Bubbles Collection as seperates and as a full size kit...

I'm also going to add my Belle's in Bubbles as a full size kit as well.

Anyways, all thought/opinions or any past experiences with this, are appreciated! :)

I really appreciate when a designer offers a kit that way; I buy way more element packs than full kits and I'll often see kits where I love the elements, don't "need" the papers though, and so don't purchase it because I can't justify the price.

I really appreciate it when designers offer this option. I pick and pull from different kits to find just the right piece and can't justify the full amount of a kit for one or two elements or one or two papers.

I'm in complete agreement with Lee and Meredith - I prefer having the choice. I've definitely passed over entire kits because I really just wanted the elements but couldn't get them alone.
