Nutty Deals

You may have noticed some amazing deals on the site lately, and quite frankly, I’m not sure how long they’re going to last. It seems my voicemail and inbox have been inundated lately from several vendors with what I like to call “nutty deals.” You know, the kind you see but don’t believe? If you’ve been perusing the site and checking out some of our marked down items, you already know exactly what I’m talking about (oh and btw, you can believe it!)

The latest of the “nutty deals” was a challenge issued to me from one of our manufacturers. Starting Thursday, iFLOOR has been given 72 hours to empty the overstocked items in their distribution warehouse. If we can do it, we’ll be given additional “nutty” discounts. I won’t bore you with the complicated math involved (yawn,) but my jaw nearly hit the floor and I committed immediately.

Confident that we’ll reach this goal easily, I’ve instructed merchandising to price our featured items with the discounts I expect we’ll receive, though there’s still some risk involved on our part. So as an added incentive to ensure that we reach this goal, we’ll be offering our customers No Payment and No interest financing for 18 months and a complimentary cruise for 2 with your purchase of $799 or more (see detail page for more info.) If you’re in the market for flooring, it just won’t get any better than this!

As I said, this is still a pretty risky proposition for us. I’m essentially passing on discounts that I’m not 100% sure we’ll receive. So if we don’t reach our goal, you’ll still get the cruise, but I’ll just be taking a bath(not an ideal outcome). So don’t let me down!
