Does Pelican ever have promo offers

[irl]

Sorry I dont mean to be off topic but it may not because because it involves my rebuild. Does Pelican ever have promotions??? And I'm not trying to be a smartass. I keep getting promo offers and discount days from other porsche product competitors via the web and I want to spend my money here. Im not sure If Im missing them or they don't have my info but I'm surprised I didnt see something around the holidays.

Ed,
We do not send out promo offers to an email list. One similar thing that we do is to send a webcertificate to a customer a few weeks after he/she takes delivery of the package. This webcertificate can be for dollars off, percentage off, or for a trinket. The computer randomly determines which certificate to send.

I just got mine a few days ago in my email. It was sent to me because of my last on line order. I got a 5% discount on my next order, which I will be placing soon!

Just used mine, 10 bucks off of 50 bucks or more spent.

FWIW, I also get promo/discount offers e-mailed to me from other e-tailers. In my experience:

1) Pelican prices are still lower (sometimes by a wide margin) even after applying a competitor's incentive;

2) Pelican's service is generally far superior to most others I've purchased from;

3) Pelican processes orders very quickly and -- since I'm in SoCal -- I tend to receive my orders very, very quickly without having to pay for premium shipping;

4) Even if Pelican prices are about the same (or slightly higher), I still buy from Pelican in order to support this forum, the tremendous wealth/archive of technical information, and community found here. IMHO, this is irreplacable.

All told, Pelican has justifiably earned my loyalty.

My $.02, but I feel pretty strongly about it.

Scott/Wayne,

I normally get my stuff thru Pelican b/c of this web site. However, these offers are irresistible.... esp. the one for trinkets!!!!!

[irl]

Cool, just thought I'd ask. I am loyal and love this place to the point it affects my marraige and my job

I think it is something for you to consider though. Impulse discounts are a powerful incentive to get people to motivate. I dont believe anyone who enjoys your site would think of it as spam to see discount dates and discounted items on a regular basis in an email. I cant say it doesnt peak my interest when I need something and a competitor hits me at the right time.

Maybe you could deliver something through facebook.....Anyway, thanks for listening.

Regards.

Because I have spent money here, I have received several discounts via email....

What Flat Six said above is all very true.

Also the more you buy (qty/frequency) the more offers PP gives (qty/frequency).

Plus returns are easy if needed. PP was out of stock on euro bumperettes I wanted for a show. So I bought from another source (sorry Wayne). When I got them I didn't like the look and went with a custom, no bumperette look. The other supplier is going to charge a 15% restock, plus shipping (of course) to the east coast.

Trinkets would be nice though. Hey, I always get a complementary PP sticker in every order! Wayne, I kid!

I have been restoring cars and bikes for close to 30 yrs, and as such have used hundreds of mail order outfits, none, and I mean NONE come close to the service and prices that PP delivers on such a consistant basis, and the forums, Jeez, what more could a car guy want...and its all free. I spend more time on this site that any other on the web, and enjoy ever minute. And Dale is spot on to.

[Flat Six]

Don't get me wrong, some kind of occasional trinket / incentive / discount would be highly appreciated!

I'm just saying that it's sometimes a little tempting to think of price for product as the only way to measure value; to me, PP delivers a whole lot more value than just high quality products at a fair price -- way more value than any competitor, IMHO.

have you seen what Wayne drives? LOL

[mpetry]

I got a really neat coffee cup and $25 off the next order! I think if you buy something off the web site, you might be the lucky recipient of the next promo offer!

[Wayne 962]

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and the useful feedback. We're always re-evaluating our promotional offers, and will take everyone's suggestions here under advisement!

Event with a 20% promotion from the other "movingcar" guy, PP price was better.
