As you may be able to tell from the new header on the front page of the store…
Right now we are having our post “Black Friday”/”Cyber Monday” sale – 10% off EVERYTHING with the coupon code:
Christmas
Why? Well, originally we weren’t going to. As I have just told all the subscribers to our exclusive store newsletter, we usually simply cannot afford to offer any further discounts as our prices are ALREADY discounted and there really isn’t much margin in functional swords these days (stainless steel junkers are another thing entirely! Big money in that, but those of use who specialize in selling or promoting REAL swords don’t do it for the money, that is for sure).
Anyway, as I have just got through saying to my subscribers – the reason for this sale is quite simple. To paraphrase from the store newsletter:
The last few weeks have seen almost everyone avoiding good old PayPal as a payment processor, and as most of our suppliers prefer to get paid by PayPal I had a choice to make, either pay the exorbitant fees to transfer money from the company account to top up our PayPal balance OR give YOU guys the money instead in the form of a serious, actual discount!
Naturally, I chose the latter option, so from now until midnight Sunday the 7th of December 2014 you can get your Christmas sword shopping sorted, save a small fortune AND help the store out of an annoying cash in-balance..
So that’s the ONLY catch, to get the 10% off until midnight Sunday, you need to purchase via PayPal. The upside, you get a GENUINE discount (we don’t artificially pump up our prices and then use coupons to make it seem like you have saved money when in fact, you haven’t. This is a REAL deal on REAL swords!) and you pretty much are guaranteed to get your sword in time for Christmas.
ESPECIALLY if you order from the special list of Christmas Swords we put together, which are checked daily to make sure they are in stock and ship super fast (excluding weekends, but they will all ship out almost immediately afterwards, taking care of Christmas for 2014).
So what are you waiting for?
Enjoy the savings and apologies but we cannot of course apply the discount to any orders placed before this annoucement has been made or people who for some strange reason don’t see the big banner, read the newsletter or this blog (if you are reading this, I guess it doesn’t apply! But you know what I mean).
Happy Christmas and Happy Non Black Friday/Cyber whatever and talk to you all again soon!
Best Wishes,
Paul Southren
