JOINING SMITTY'S CLUB AT THE NEW STORE MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THEN IT IS CURRENTLY, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL NEVER EXPIRE IT WILL BE A ONE-TIME PROCESS AND YOU'LL HAVE ACCESS FOREVER. iT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO BOTH JOIN AND ORDER AT THE SAME TIME. I'LL PUBLISH THE NEW METHOD OF GETTING IN AS SOON AS I KNOW IT FOR SURE. WATCH HERE FOR DEVELOPMENTS
ALL EXISTING MEMBERS OF SMITTY'S CLUB WILL BE MEMBERS IN THE NEW STORE WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. I WILL PUBLISH HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT ONE ALREADY AS SOON AS THE PROCESS IS COMPLETELY SETTLED.
THE CLUB WILL BE MORE LIKE A "LOYAL CUSTOMER" GROUP THAN A PURCHASED MEMBERSHIP WITH MEMBERSHIP OFFERED FREE TO BUYERS WHO REACH A THRESHOLD OF NUMBER OR DOLLAR VALUE OF PURCHASES MADE WITHIN A STILL TO BE DETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME.
I EXPECT TO STILL HAVE A PURCHASED MEMBERSHIP FOR A SMALL FEE. I WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO OFFER FREE MEMBERSHIPS DURING THE BIRTHDAY BASH BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO BE REQUESTED.
THERE WILL BE NO AUTOMATIC EXPIRATION - ONCE A YEAR I WILL GO THROUGH THE MEMBERSHIP LIST AND REMOVE MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT MADE A PURCHASE IN 18 MONTHS. THEY CAN BE REINSTATED BY QUALIFYING AGAIN THROUGH PURCHASES OR A PURCHASED MEMBERSHIP.
MEMBERS WILL NOT HAVE TO ENTER A SPECIAL AREA OF THE STORE. WHEN MEMBERS GO TO THE STORE THEY WILL SEE ONLY THE SMITTY'S MEMBER PRICES ON LISTINGS THAT HAVE LOWER PRICES FOR MEMBERS (THIS WILL INCLUDE ALL COMPONENT SETS EXCEPT SOME PSI OR OTHER SPECIAL PURCHASE SETS) - NON MEMBERS WILL SEE ONLY THE REGULAR PRICE.
I WILL FIND A WAY TO FLAG ITEMS SO MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHICH ITEMS THEY ARE RECEIVING A SPECIAL PRICE ON. THIS WILL INCLUDE ALMOST ALL COMPONENT SETS. SOME BUSHINGS, TUBES AND REFILLS WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED--MOST SPARE PARTS WILL NOT.
MEMBERS WILL ALWAYS RECEIVE THE LOWEST PRICE THE PRODUCT IS OFFERED FOR - AT TIMES OF CLOSEOUTS AND INTRODUCTORY PRICING THIS MIGHT BE THE SAME AS THE STORE PRICE.
SOME PSI COMPONENT SETS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED BECAUSE OF THE SMALL MARGINS I HAVE TO WORK WITH, THE REGULAR PRICE WILL GENERALLY BE A LITTLE LOWER THAN PSI'S PRICE.
MOST BLANKS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED BECAUSE OF THE SMALL MARGINS - SOME WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY LOWER PRICE TO MEMBERS.
PREPRODUCTION SALES WILL BE CONDUCTED THROUGH THE STORE WITH MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS GETTING THE SAME PRICE. PARTICIPATING IN A PREPRODUCTION SALE WILL BE A QUALIFIER TO RECEIVE MEMBERSHIP AT NO COST.
MEMBERSHIPS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM NOW UNTIL THE NEW STORE IS OPENED EXCEPT BY CONTACTING ME DIRECTLY - THE MEMBERSHIP LIST IS MOVING TO THE NEW STORE AND ANY NEW MEMBERS HAVE TO BE ENTERED THERE RATHER THAN AT THE CURRENT STORE.
KEEP WATCHING HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
