Notes

This is the latest version of an email which I send periodically, offering customers the opportunity to pre-pay for SaaS in return for a discount. The benefits to the SaaS company are better cash flow and reduced churn rate. The benefits to the customer are, well, in the email. This genre of email has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in pre-pays for some companies I work with, and it rarely requires any more work than this example.

I've put $79 is as a placeholder for the cost of the user's plan. We calculate that for each account, naturally, along with the billing contact's name.

Subject: Save $79 on Appointment Reminder (and get a tax write-off) Formatting: 100% plain text. Gmail automatically links up the central link. From: Patrick McKenzie (Appointment Reminder) patrick@appointmentreminder.org

Problem with VirtualBox 4.3.12

It seems there is some problems between Vagrant 1.6.2 and VirtualBox 4.3.12 (the latest at the time or writing this), switching back to VirutalBox 4.3.6 or VirtualBox 4.3.8 seems to eliminate the problem.

update 1: Try both Vagrant 1.6.2 and VirtualBox 4.3.12 on Mac and they seem to work fine!

update 2: You need to enable Virtual Machine option in your BIOS to make VirtualBox work as expected. Saw someone mention about this in Laravel forum about this and it is true.

Also, Vagrant version should be 1.6.2.

	There are a lot of complaints going around about Laravel these days, but a lot
	of the important ones seem to be missing from the spotlight.
