Since the week is short for those of us in the USA (Thanksgiving), I wanted to send a quick notice for those not yet using ACT! 2010.
I just got a message from Sage, that confirmed my suspicions. As in past years around this time, the promo pricing on ACT! 2010 is going away.
If you have been on the fence on the upgrade, let me encourage you to consider the pricing currently available through the end of the month. As of December 1, prices will increase an average of 20%.
I don’t share this information to scare you, rather to cover my hide :-}
I talk with so many people in a given day, that I thought this post would be a good way to notify the world of the end of this wildly successful promotion. I’ve even emailed a notice to subscribers who have not yet upgraded (you know who your are :-}).
Every year I speak to at least one person who missed out on the launch promotion, and I never enjoy that discussion. Buy the ACT! Software here.
As for the $447 in bonuses for our ACT! 2010 customers, thanks to those of you who took the time to comment about them here on the site. The feedback thus far has been flattering. There will be a bonus package in December, but likely a different package than what is currently available.

So login, post, browse and enjoy.
Thanks for the heads up on this promotion Travis. I've been himming and hawwing on ACT!, but I just cannot find anything else close out there. Is this latest version better than previous ones? I've read some bad things on older versions.
Janet- Years ago, I went through the same exercise, and came back to ACT!. Let's be honest, no software is perfect, including ACT!. I just haven't found a windows based contact manager that is as flexible. While it isn't a fit for everyone, I still think it is the best option out there. More than that, I'm pleased to say that Sage (the company) has made some changes to demonstrate they are committed to making the changes customers need…so they are making good progress in my view.
While it isn't a fit for our organization at the moment, I went through your review, and it was very well done. For someone who says they are nervous on camera, you did a fine job. I even learned a few things, and consider myself tech savvy with our current version of ACT! If I could buy, I would. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Very kind of you Mike. By the same token, I'm convinced that I have the best subscribers on the web. You are a reflection of that. -Travis
