I must confess, I’m excited. Truly. Excited. Why? Because I can tell you what we’ve come up with…FINALLY. Are you ready? A rewards program. Not just ANY rewards program by the way, THE…REWARDS…PROGRAM. That’s right. The day is here I can tell you about this ground breaking endeavor we are about to pursue. Together. Ready for it? Let’s go. The name I can’t say, but it’s creative and catchy – trust me! This rewards program is comprehensive. Granted, the nuances and minor details have not yet been worked out, but here are the core components:
– Signing up is easy, we need your e-mail, and some other possible information.
– You get this sick looking card
– You also get a LEGIT tee shirt. Now, before you groan, roll your eyes, shake your head, or do any knee-jerk reaction to simulate doubt, check this out: the shirt…is cool. Yes, I said it. My 23 year old opinion has decided that it is a shirt I would actually wear. From a brand sensitive, image maintaining, self aware person such as me, you can take my word for it! Now let me preface (after I already typed) my previous statement with a note: my opinion ultimately is irrelevant. However, I am confident you will agree with me.
– You get a percentage off full price merchandise simply by joining…WHAT?! Yes, I said it. You get a percentage off, everything (with minor exceptions), at the Bookstore. This, my friends, is bold. It is not for the feint of heart, and it was shocking when I proposed it. But you know what? Go big or go home. Set goals…then demolish them, and guess what, I’m just getting started.
– With this card, and your purchases, you will accumulate points. These points will be accumulated regardless of what you buy. Some points may be doubled, some triple, some infin-tupled. (Yes, I made that word up).
– These points will be redeemable towards incredible prizes: Gift cards, iPads, iPods, Macbooks, Fire Pits, Corn Hole Tables, you name it (literally, name it, we’ll add it), and we will put it on the list. Someone suggested XBOX360, it is now there.
I need to go on a tangent about gift cards for a second. Gift cards are probably the greatest thing the Bookstore can give you. So when you laugh to yourself like I used to at the thought of a gift card, consider that this is literally FREE MONEY. Why? Gift cards work towards EVERYTHING in the Bookstore, EVERYTHING! That means: textbooks, school supplies, Apple products, Apple accessories, apparel, anything in the Bookstore can use gift cards. This means, that when it’s time to buy your textbooks, if you have enough points for a $100 gift card, YOUR BOOKS ARE $100 CHEAPER. Tangent concluded.
Now, if this isn’t the best promotion we’ve ever run (and it’s all year long), let me know, and I will retract my next statement: This is the best promotion we’ve ever run. Period. By the way, there’s more to come.
