Title: 10% Off Everything at the Bash!
Post by: Leon on 04 July 2012, 02:23:09 AM
(http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/PendrakenMiniatures/Forum%20Stuff/BashDiscount.jpg)

We're getting close now, and it's time to give everyone one last reason to get themselves along for the day, so we decided to knock 10% off all Pendraken products at the Birthday Bash!  This offer will include everything on the Pendraken stand, from army packs to flagsheets, and will also be applied to any pre-orders made in advance!  Remember, with the price increase coming on August 1st, this is now an even better opportunity to get stocked up on 10mm goodness!

Now obviously, some folk won't be able to attend the Bash, citing odd reasons like vast expanses of water and whatnot (  :D ), so we will also be extending this offer to the webstore as well!  For any orders placed over the Birthday Bash weekend (Sat 14th & Sun 15th) we'll be giving you a 10% gift!  You won't need to do anything at all to claim this gift, simply place your order on either of those days, and we'll then contact you to find out what you'd like sending as your bonus.  So, if you place an order for £20, you'll receive £2 of extra goodies, place an order for £100 and receive an extra £10 worth of 10mm shiny-shiny!

:-bd

Please Note: There will be a couple of other stands at the Bash, one being Minibits, the other being our friend with his books, but the 10% discount won't apply on those sales unfortunately.

I don't need more temptation :'(. Having said that it is very tempting to add to my lead pile that weekend ;).

I know Craig. Do I order some Falklands figures, if available and not forgetting vehicles etc, or do I go for some Late Romans for some Warmaster Ancients fun :-\? I know some fellow members here will say buy both :o ;).

Hang on a minute.. 'with a price rise coming on August 1st...'

I missed that one. When was that announced?

A price rise in terms of postage or another price rise in terms of pack prices? Or worse still both... :(

Post by: republic of tolworth on 04 July 2012, 04:47:22 PM
Think it was in with the 'moving' stuff. New overheads and other such financial trauma.

Still cheaper than others though.

I blame the bankers.

Yeah just found it. To be expected I suppose.

I just wish for once my pay packet might increase in at least the same or a similar fashion. I appreciate everyone has to make their business viable but when you haven't had a payrise in five years its a bit stomach churning.

Bucking fankers >:(

It won't be up that weekend unfortunately, the folk at the Birthday Bash will have the first packs of those!  I'll try and get them up onto the website the week after hopefully, but there's too much to do for the Bash to be getting photo's taken and edited for the website as well.

I know what you mean, and I can assure you there hasn't been a payrise at this end either!

Oh well, I'll just have to spend some money with you now, and more money with you later!  :D

Sorry Leon :-[

that whine wasn't intended as a swipe at Pendraken - more of a 'universal swipe' at the fact that the cost of living keeps rising toline fat cat pockets whilst pay remains the same for the majority who struggle to make ends meet as is.

Didn'tmean to cause offence :(

No offence caused, nothing to worry about here!   :D  We're in the same boat as you, watching plonkers in suits regularly fail in one high-paid job and then get given another straight away in the bank/office next door, or watching others get given lorry-loads of dosh 'cos they can kick/throw/putt a ball in the right direction...  >:(

Meanwhile, the rest of us struggle onwards, keeping an eye on the bank account each month to make sure we don't hit the overdraft limit...  :'(

Anyhoo, on to more positive stuff, 10% dscounts and free Roman helmets!

Show me one person who says "no thanks, I get paid enough" and I'll show you a liar. Sorry, I know it's all too easy to jump on the bandwagon but that particular vehicle can leave without me. I'm enough of a hypocrite as it is.

Leon, in all honesty you're pretty much the premier 10mm manufacturer, the quality of the stuff you're churning out now is better than ever, so if you have to increase the price go ahead. If people want it they'll pay, if not then you'll go out of business. This is how the world works.

Glad to hear that those of us that can't make it can still benefit. Given the choice between paying for a train ticket up there or more minis I think the minis get the vote.

The prices won't change on the website, so you can leave them in your cart.  Confirm the order on either Sat or Sun, and then I'll contact you to see what bonus items you'd like sending out.

Leon,

Does the 10% off only cover orders send via the shopping cart or does it also include orders for bits and pieces/individual figures sent via email?

As the esteemed customers of Pendraken are getting a 10% bonus on the day...Does it mean Clibby, myself, et al will get a 10% bonus if we make any figures on Saturday ?
I ask purely for information. ;) ;D

Now I just have to wait to see how much of a bonus I get to spend! The suspense is killing me ;). I dread to think how many 'extra' orders came in over this weekend compared to a 'normal' one for Leon and Dave to process.
