Historically, the busiest season for Native Instruments sales is Summer (32% of all sales I've recorded so far).The most common times for sales and specials involving Traktor were Autumn (7 out of 22 sales), followed closely by Summer (6 out of 22 sales).The most common season for Maschine-related sales was Autumn (7 out of 16 sales).The most common season to find discounts on new Komplete bundle purchases was Summer (4 times out of 5 total sales), and the most common time for discounts on upgrades and crossgrades to Komplete was Spring (7 out of 12 sales).Although the different kinds of Komplete bundle discounts haven't been offered simultaneously, they occasionally occurred within a couple weeks of each other (2012, 2014). When there was a sale on Komplete bundles, it has always been either for new purchases or for upgrades/crossgrades- not both.Please see the 'Notes About the Worksheet' section for the distinction between new purchases and updates/upgrades/crossgrades. Of all the types of sales Native Instruments offered that I could find, discounts on new purchases of Komplete bundles were the most rare (only 9% of all sales as of this writing), and discounts on upgrades or crossgrades to Komplete were the second-most rare (21%).Please note that as the worksheet evolves over time, some of the numbers below might go out of date- but they are accurate, based on my current information, as of June 1, 2015: Here are some things I observed after compiling the information. The rest of this post is an analysis of the data, plus some other details about the worksheet.Ĭlick the image above to view the raw data. You can click the image below to visit the worksheet. The Legend tab describes the different columns, and the Stats tab has a few bits of analytical data that are automatically updated whenever I add a new sale to the list, plus some 'manual stats' that I tally up by hand after making major updates. I color-coded each sale to indicate which time of year it fell under so I could get a better idea of what kinds of sales Native Instruments typically offers in the different seasons. After several days of hunting down information on every sale I could find involving the company's Komplete, Maschine, and Traktor lines, I compiled a worksheet that indicates the dates when the sales were in effect, and which products each promotion included.
