You may need to drop the sampler to 6 vs 12 but that really doesn't alleviate much of the problem.
Let me attack part of it as Ajeh taught me. This example concerns your wicks.
It's a minor comment on the home page that may be extremely important to the customer. Hoping the customer remembers to mention the type of wick in the comments will get you some unhappy customers who forgot to "pick a wick". So, let's add an option name of Wick and add three option values. Pick a Wick, Standard, and Self-Trimming. We make the option value of Pick a Wick to have an order of 0 and set the Attribute Flags to yes across the board. The other two would have the N Y N Y Y Y Flags set. They can be in whatever order you want. If the standard is most-used, set it's sort order to 10 and the self-trimming to 20. I like to leave some space in the sort order for future additions.
You can copy this to all votives and it will cause the customer to make a decision on the wick with each candle they purchase. No more "but I wanted self-triming."
Simplest of all for the sampler is simply asking the customer to put the twelve scents in the comments. To me, the possibility of messing up is too great.
The Pick a Wick procedure could be done with the sampler but, you would have Option Names Sent1, Scent2, Scent3, and so on till you got to either the six or twelve choices.
The kicker is that you would need to have every scent as an option value to Scent1, Scent2, Scent3...... Plus, of course, the Please Pick a Scent. Also, the devs are still working on keeping stock of the quantities on hand of attributes. You would have no way of knowing what scents were sold without manually tracking them.
I'd go with sets of six based on a theme. "Fall Kitchen" "Summer Garden" and other complimentary scents in a pre-set package. Until the attribute tracking gets here. Mention of call or email for special orders will allow those who want to to customize.
On another note, check into the size of your images. Your home page is right at 1 meg!:shocking: Took 7 seconds to load on my 5mb pipe. PNG and BMP are not really the best choice for this situation. The graphics look great but will cause many folks to think the site is dead.
