Default Ecklers Discount

Just thought you should know that your home page shows that if you order from Ecklers and use coupon code "FLVETTE" you will get a 10% discount. NOT TRUE. I've just placed an order with Ecklers and they do not recognize FLVETTE as a coupon code. I took the issue up with a supervisor at Ecklers and he assured me the code is no good. This should be sorted out with Ecklers or removed from the site. As a side note...for my inconvenience, Ecklers did reduce my shipping cost from $26.99 to $10.99 which I thought was nice of them to offer that up.

Well, that's interesting.... I'll look into it.... Would hate to think I've been running their banner ad for nearly 6 months and the offer of a discount was bogus.

If you are going to follow up then the order I placed with them was today. I spoke to Kitty and the order number was 03957847. Don't remember the supervisors name

Well, here's the explanation I got from the person I set this up with:

Hi Rich,
We had that banner up as a test on your site and the coupon code expired in April. Since its start date in December, we only made $90 and received about 200 clicks and therefore, did not renew the coupon code. I had forgotten to ask you to remove the banner after it expired. Sorry for the confusion. Can you please remove it?

Thanks,
Stacy
Apparently CorvetteFlorida just isn't worth advertising with to them, even though I offered it to them for *FREE* if they gave that discount to the members here.

I like how she says they discontinued the discount but "forgot" to ask me to take down their banner.....

I've asked them to take me off of their mailing list. I have sent them several emails requesting to put CorvetteFlorida on their links page and they have never done so.

I can live without them.........

Rich, I tried to use the discount in Feburary and it would not recognize it back then, so I ordered from a different retailer. I was going to bring this to your attention but just forgot about it. They lost a $150 sale from me because of it.

Well, all things considered, it appears I was just out and out lied to.

That information should be sent to them c/o: thier CEO.

I know we're a small site and as such they won't get the traffic that they do from Brand X and a few others; however, they also won't pay the exhorbitant vendor or advertising fees that they pay on the other sites.

So, even with a 10% discount on purchases, given thier markup, and the fact that it doesn't cost them a red cent for the exposure, they're ahead of the game

Hell, I'll advertise anywhere it's free...doesn't make sense not to. After all, the more mud you throw at a wall, some of it is bound to stick

Thier rational is simply ignorant ( or arrogant?)
