Have you ever stood outside a mall or department store in the middle of the night (or even on Thanksgiving afternoon!), waiting expectantly for the doors to open, hoping you will be one of the fortunates who get their hands on an incredibly marked down tv or computer?
Well, I have great news: in the appliance industry it's not "Black Friday"... it's "Black November"!
So if you're looking for an appliance this Thanksgiving weekend, or even next week (up until Wednesday December 4th), you get the same savings you would have received had you pitched a camp outside our door on Thanksgiving night!
You may have received one of our four page circulars in your mail, or maybe you came across one in a newspaper. If not, then no worries!
You can click on the link on the front page of our website, immediately to the left of the link you clicked to reach this blog.
(If you can't access that link, I've pasted the four pages below:)
I'd like to point out a few particularly exciting features of this ad, to help you get the most savings and value from your shopping.
1) Exclusive rebates!! And not just exclusive rebates, but DOUBLE EXCLUSIVE REBATES!!
We've often been able to offer our customers an additional, "thank you for buying local", rebate on many kitchen packages of two or more items (same brand, of course). Typically, buying two appliances qualified you for a $100 rebate, three pieces got you $200, and four or more would give you $300.... and this is in addition to any manufacturer rebates. Well, through December 4, many of these extra rebates are doubled ($200 for 2, $400, for 3, $600 for 4). I've already had two customers purchase kitchen packages from me this month that entitled them to $1000 in rebates!!
Some exclusions and conditions do apply of course, but the exclusions are far fewer than you would think. See any of our sales professionals for details.
2) Package options. Take a look at some of the kitchen package options featured in our flyer. For I believe the first time, our package suggestions offer style options in the same ad. Now you can see what upgrading from say, a traditional top-freezer to a side-by-side refrigerator will cost you, or if you want to upgrade from a free-standing range to a slide-in (backless) model!
From experience, I know that pretty much everyone tweaks these advertised packages to fit their wants and needs, but I really love the way our ad shows the package options. It makes it easier to budget your purchase before shopping our store. Kudos to our marketing gurus!!
3) Color matters!! It seems the appliance manufacturers are really trying to encourage consumers to "upgrade" their kitchens to a modern color. Stainless steel is still the overwhelming choice of consumers, and has shown amazing staying power (the color has been in vogue since the early 00's!). The next most popular colors are what I call the stainless alternatives (Slate, Black Stainless, Black Slate being the most popular options.)
If you are looking to replace a piece or two in the traditional black or white, be forewarned: Availability, especially in more contemporary styles, is slowly disappearing. Even worse, you may pay more, sometimes substantially more, to get the older color.
Here's an extreme, but by no means unique, example.
This Whirlpool French Door refrigerator sells for $1599 right now, in stainless. A great buy!! If you want another color, then you'll be paying hundreds of dollars more. Please don't blame us - it's the manufacturer, in this case Whirlpool, who is choosing to offer huge discounts on the stainless color, but not on traditional white or black.
Here's another example, this time a Whirlpool four-door French Door with ice and water. Take a look at our price tag, and note the huge difference in price if you'd like stainless ($1999) vs. black stainless or black ($2789 and $2699 respectively.)
Without doubt, if you're going to be in the market for appliances anytime in the near future, now through December 4th is the time to take the plunge!! Between manufacturer discounts that are the best I've seen since the late 2010's, to robust availability, to extra rebates, to quick turnaround time (or holding your appliances until you're ready if you have some remodeling to do) ... it's a perfect storm of savings for you!!
Please visit any of our eleven showrooms (addresses and phone numbers listed on our front page), or touch base with any of our trained sales consultants via phone or email, so we can help you put together a purchase that both meets your wants, and saves you the most money possible!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
