Before I get into describing what Manny's is doing in conjunction with our country's Fourth of July celebration, I'd like to give a shout-out to our delivery department, and specifically our delivery teams. These guys will be delivering anywhere between ten and fourteen homes a day. Even in the middle of summer, when temperatures can frequently exceed ninety degrees, our drivers are still out there lugging 300-pound, 28 cubic foot refrigerators and concrete-block-laden front load washers into your homes. It amazes me how they can keep up with their packed daily schedules with amazingly few issues or problems.
On behalf of all of us, I thank you for your hard work!
Now back to the July 4th sales event:
I remember America's last birthday celebration, the Bicentennial of 1976. I was fifteen then and played trombone for my high school band as well as my hometown Bicentennial Band. Between the summer of '75 and summer of '76 I had the privilege of marching in, just to name a few, the Palmer Bicentennail Parade, the Monson Bicentennial Parade, the South Hadley Bicentennial Parade, the Wilbraham Bicentennial Parade, and so on, and so on. At least the towns did a good job staggering their events and avoiding scheduling conflicts so that every other week or so a different city or town was celebrating. It shouldn't be a huge surprise to hear that except for the few in which family was involved, I've religiously avoided parades for the rest of my life!
People's entertainment tastes and choices have definitely changed in the last half-century, and parades just don't seem to have the same appeal anymore in general. My city does have plenty of flags flying above city hall, and its annual July 4 firework celebration is still extremely popular. Our 250th birthday is still being observed and commemorated in many ways.
And yes, holiday celebrations include retail sales events as well, and Manny's is no exception.
For example:
- We have an array of discounts and promotions that can save you money on anything from a single washer to a complete kitchen suite.
- We offer deferred financing on any purchase over $399.
- We also have rebates on many purchases, especially on kitchen packages of two or more pieces. To me this our biggest advantage over Big-box competition - many of our rebate promotions are exclusive to independent retailers. In other words ... these are rebates that you would NOT get at a Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, etc. Depending on your individual purchase, this extra rebate can get as high as $600 or even more. I've said this before, but I like to refer to these as our "Thank you for buying local rebates" !!
Right now we can save you hundreds of dollars on select refrigerators and laundry sets. We can also help you put together your dream kitchen, recommending appliances that fit your taste, needs, and budget. For examples of both, take a look at these deals from our July 4th circular:
We can also add a $500 rebate to the Gallery package (the first package shown on the second page,) or $800 in rebates on the Professional package to lower your bottom-line price even further!
I also want to remind everyone of our new Scratch and Dent outlet center, adjacent to our Westfield showroom. Customer response has been enthusiastic and at times overwhelming - sometimes we can't get the merchandise unpacked and tagged quickly enough!
How much can you save, you ask? A lot!!
How about a four-door counter-depth refrigerator with an ice and water dispenser and a convertible middle drawer for less than $1500?
Or, how about a slide-in induction range for under $1000?
(Sorry, but in both cases legal ramifications prevent me from printing the model numbers on these two deals. Rest assured however; both pieces are name brand units that sell briskly at their regular price!)
Merchandise in Westfield is constantly flowing and changing, but as of this writing (Tuesday 6-23) I have decent quantities of both the above pieces in our Westfield showroom.
The majority of our pieces come with full manufacturer warranty, and in many cases have never been anywhere near a customer's house.
Finally...
Happy Birthday USA!
