Coupon Program
Obsolete Inventory is the ugliest part of the collectibles business. No other company will protect you from this better than Game Time! The Game Time Coupon Program will be implemented for NASCAR & MLB on August 1 to cover the 2nd half of the season and the holidays. Coupons for a free 2006 schedule Update Module will be available for purchase with any wholesale order placed after August 1. The coupons are $5.00 each and will allow the final consumer to buy this years watch from a participating store and receive next year's schedule free. Stores are instructed to include the coupon with each watch sold. The NASCAR coupon program ends January 7, 2005. The MLB coupon program ends March 1, 2005. After these dates any unused coupons may be redeemed for new 2005 Update Modules (not new watches) at NO CHARGE to the store owner (except S&H). Store owners will not be stuck with outdated schedules in inventory. The intent of the coupon program is to enhance sales of the watches late in the season and after the season during the Holidays. Since the coupons are being sold at a price below actual cost we do not want coupons given to customers that purchased watches before August 1. Update modules can be ordered for these customers for the regular wholesale price of $14.95. FAQ I still have 5 NASCAR watches left in my store. Can I get coupons for these watches as well as the ones on my next order? Yes. (After August 1.) Coupons may not be ordered for watches sold earlier in the year. Are stores allowed to charge the customer an extra $5.00 for the coupon? The intent of the Coupon Program is to offer the customer a FREE upgrade for next season (plus $3.95 S&H). However, Game Time can not dictate how stores sell their products. When can the coupons be redeemed? Coupons can be sent in any time. However, most leagues do not release next season's schedule until well after the current season ends. Update Modules are usually not ready until just before the start of the new season. My store does not want to participate in the Coupon Program. After Christmas can I still buy Update Modules for $5.00? No. They will be sold for the regular wholesale price of $14.95 plus S&H. |
