I must assume that the HBS community must be in a real financial slowdown. The amount of email offers I get daily is crazy
Every day I get dozens of emails with great special offers...
30% off storewide
20% off any single item
Free shipping
Then I get the ones that make me scratch my head...
buy 3 kits and get a free ferm bucket?
buy 3 boring beer kits for $14.92ea?
spent $150 and get something free that you already have?
Not all deals appeal to everyone or are really good...
I almost get the impression that these Large HBS feel compelled to send email blasts out 4-5 times a week for fear that you will forget they exist.
If I ever need anything, I'll just have to wait a week or so to either get a 20% off deal on hardware or 30% savings on hops.
I think these larger HBS have shot themselves in the foot with overdoing special offers.
Would anyone ever buy anything at full price?
