Details for 15% Off Pre-Order Discount

November 18, 2011 Written by LaurenJ

You should have received an email this morning with a coupon for 15% off when you order on-line between now and December 7th. (If you did not, that means you are not subscribed to our newsletter. You can subscribe here to get the discount code emailed to you). Here are some details about this offer so everyone is on the same page!

Note about Shipping Costs and/or Picking Up your Items

We are offering free shipping on any U.S. shipments over $100 through December 7th.
If you place an order less than $100, you will be charged standard shipping costs.
If you would like to pick your order up at our Holiday “Open Farm”, please say so clearly in the comments section of your order. You will still be charged shipping on your order, but don’t worry! … the day after the event – Sunday, December 11th – we will refund all shipping fees for items picked up. If you said you were going to pick it up, but then couldn’t… again, don’t worry!… any items not picked up will then be shipped on Monday, December 12th.

Rationale for this Discount

Things get really hectic the day of the holiday event, so it makes things run smoothly if we have as many of your orders ready to go ahead of time. Plus, this means we can make sure to have inventory of all the items people want.
Again, Brandy and JoAnn will be helping us work the table so that we can better give tours and socialize with each of you. In the past we’ve given friends and family discounts the day of, but it makes it really confusing for us designate “friends.” So instead all of our newsletter subscribers get the discount… so long as you order before Wednesday, December 7th.
Why are we offering a pre-order discount to those people who don’t attend? We know that many of you would love to attend the event but can’t for lots of reasons, and we didn’t want to exclude you.

Restrictions You Should Know About

Discounts do NOT apply to the “Donate a Goat” Gift Set (because this is a donation) or to the “Buy 5 Soaps, Get 1 Free” and ”6-Pack of Soaps” (because these sets are already heavily discounted).
Because we are offering this discount on-line, we will NOT be offering any discounts at the event… except for our tradition of “Buy 5, Get 1 Free”. Again, we are trying this this year to make it easier on Brandy and JoAnn who will be working the table… and because our credit card processor – Square – does not enable discounts.
