I am sure someone knows, but the Classic advert banner on the main page is outdated...(says 20% off through July).

Well, technically all it says is that there was 20% off in July. Now that it is not July, we are left uncertain as to whether the discount still holds, in full or in part, or whether it is completely over now. That doesn't make the ad outdated, it just makes it uninformative, ambiguous, and frustrating (if you had wanted 20% off stuff).

And there you have it. I was shopping for a Hart and....well....you can guess the rest.Quote:

Yes fairly significant.Quote:

That's a tough one for me as people who wait for sales and people who don't, are breads of their own.Quote:

It's all philosophy.
Yeah in B school they try to tell you to let customers know that there will be a sale next month so the client can prep for it and hopefully spend their "consumer surplus" on other items. If you have the money even advertise that you are going to have a sale. But if someone comes back proving they bought the item just days before and were not informed to just go ahead and give them the savings... if you have competent managers who know how to run a till arg!!Quote:

Or some BS like that. Everyday low prices is an other tactic that seems to be working well for some... low end vendors.
Yeah - I was one of those day or two late guys... 20% off in bold print... and I didn't realize 'oops, it's August, you idiot' till the razor was in checkout. I'll be waiting until they're on sale again, but I doubt they'd be able to do any better than 20% off on the Hart razors.
Classic normally shows a monthly discount code % on their facebook page. I believe it is available for purchases over
$100. As for "sales" on certain items for a limited time that seems to be the norm with wet shaving suppliers.

Oh man I recall very clearly my brother and his best friend and their dates all over at the house one Superbowl "back in the day" (read when I was a kid) when one of those silly razor commercials aired lol! No word of a lie - knowing how much air time cost I blurted out, "man how many razors do you have to sell to put an add in the Superbowl?"
I know better now :).
Just for you, Earcutter!

I guess the sale runs through NEXT July?
That looks more like 20 bucks off, not 20 percent off.
