On April 1, 2010, we will be launching the Make Time Project, aimed at providing a fun way to help raise money for national and regional charities. More details will be posted soon. The Make Time Project will provide you with a great opportunity to help others while expanding your Steinhausen collection.
Want to try a Steinhausen product for free? Steinhausen is launching an unprecedented program that we know you are going to love. Here’s how it works… The Steinhausen Showcase Store will allow you to purchase just about any Steinhausen product and try it for 30 days. If you are not completely satisfied with the product, return it to us and pay only the shipping charges. You heard that right. Try just about any Steinhausen product for 30 days w/o paying for it.
What’s the “just about any product” catch? Well, we can’t let you try parts, for example, the watch bands. However, watch winders, watches, sunglasses, wallets, money clips, just about everything else is yours to evaluate for 30 days. The fine print is that we must be able to authorize your credit card for the full order amount at the time of purchase. Obviously, we can’t let you showcase a $1,500 Tourbillon if we already know that you can’t pay for it in the first place. The authorization is not a charge and will only be settled to your account after 30 days.
If you don’t like the product, contact our customer service to receive an RMA number. They will provide you with a link that will give you a UPS label for your return. Once we receive it back, we will only charge you for the shipping. No restocking fee. No special charges. You only pay for the shipping.
Here’s the real catch! We know you are going to love the product and not want to return it. This is better than going to the store to try the product on. This is you getting compliments about your stunning watch. This is you having the watch winder you weren’t sure about before and getting to test drive it for a month. This is you getting to experience the affordable luxury of Steinhausen like never before.
Email newsletter subscribers will have first access to the new Steinhausen Spring Showcase before anyone else.
A friendly reminder that Daylight Savings Time is this Sunday. Some say that we lose an hour when we have to set our watches forward an hour, but with the special we are running for Sunday only, you will be saving (a whole lot more than an hour)! Be sure to check our blog for the Sunday special because you are not going to want to miss this once in a lifetime deal that will run for Sunday only.
We launched the Steinhausen Open Box store a little over a week ago with the Steinhausen classic Automatic Watch and the Dunn Horitzon (two of our most popular items). We’ve just added the Baron Automatic Calendar Watch to the Open Box store. Starting under $100, the Baron is another great affordable open box watch we are sure you will love!
We have launched the Open Box store with two of our most popular watches! The Steinhausen Classic Automatic Calendar Watch (the watch that launched the entire Steinhausen brand) and the Ultra-thin Dunn Horitzon Swiss Quartz Watch with Date Display. Prices go as low as 60% of regular retail prices.
These watches come with warranties and guarantees. Check the pages for details. Remember, these are open box items. They will have scratches and minor blemishes, but think about it like a pair of jeans!
Our Open Box store is almost ready. We had a few hurdles to clear before we could launch it, but it really is just right around the corner. We are going to have some items available through the open box store that are not even available for regular retail. You may even find yourself the proud owner of a Steinhausen mule! That’s right, when browsing through some of the open box inventory, I saw at least two watches that qualify as mules. Great options for collectors!
We started beta testing Facebook connection integration with our shopping site during the holiday season. We learned quite a few things about the use of our website by our Facebook customers. Particularly interesting was how the integration acted to family computers where there are multiple people sharing the computer and one of them has their Facebook account on auto remember… We’ve worked out a few kinks here and there and are relaunching the integration between Facebook and our shopping website.
This Facebook connect integration makes it easier for you to log-in to our website. We don’t gain access to any sensitive information from your Facebook account and Facebook doesn’t gain any access to your information with Steinhausen unless you approve the publishing of information to your profile. It’s a great way to share with your friends about your new watches, winders, or accessories you have from Steinhausen. Through out the year, we’ll be posting special offers available to our Facebook fan base as we continue to grow our integrations with Facebook and other social networks. We hope you enjoy this useful integration.
We’re launching a new promotion starting this Friday. Each Friday we’ll be giving something away… A free watch, or winder, or shipping. Something is going to be free every Friday. Of course, shipping will apply on free products (not free shipping offers of course, or it wouldn’t be free shipping!) We’re running this promotion every Friday with a different item each week through the end of February. Enjoy!
We almost have everything finished for our open box store. This is an exciting endeavor for us! We display at watch shows, charities, fundraisers, and all kinds of other events. In the fast paced world of business, there is very little time to clean up. That’s what the open box store is all about…
At events and showcases, we display real products. We aren’t showing samples that don’t work. Often times there are hundreds of people that view, touch, and examine our products a day during these events. Sometimes we drop products when putting them back into their boxes. At every event, our representatives are wearing Steinhausen watches and other accessories… Long story short, this stuff piles up. We can’t sell it because the box has been opened, we’ve lost the packaging, we scratched the watch winder, etc.
However, the scratched watch winder is a perfectly good watch winder that will still wind your watch. Obviously, we can’t use a scratched watch winder for a display, so up until now the products have been collecting dust. Not anymore!
The Steinhausen Open Box Store is exactly that. It’s all our open boxes. We’ve checked to make sure the watches and watch winders are still functioning, so you aren’t buying junk. It just isn’t perfect condition. It’s like walking into a store and buying the display unit. You get a perfectly functioning unit with maybe a scratch or two.
We’ll be launching the first round of the open box in just over a week. The prices on these products are definitely priced to sell. If you can’t handle a smudge or two, that’s ok. We’ll still have the prime items available for sale. However, there will be a few surprises for people. We have found some items that have been discontinued. We’re bringing them back at great prices for everyone to enjoy!
We beta launched a new integration between our shopping website and Facebook, allowing for faster logins and easier account management. The system is in beta testing right now, which means that it might have some hiccups here and there. For example, we already know that it doesn’t work with the Safari web browser at all. This is something we need to work on.
What this new integration with Facebook allows is for you to login with your Facebook login and link it to your Steinhausenonline.com account. For people without an existing Steinhausen account, there is an option to create an account while linking it to your Facebook account. In just a few clicks you will have your accounts linked. This will make it easier to login to your Steinhausen account as all you need to do is be logged into your Facebook account.
Your privacy is protected the entire time. We don’t share your email address with Facebook, and we don’t have access to the email address you have on record with Facebook. In fact, you can have two different email addresses for both accounts. The addresses you use for your Steinhausen account will not be shared with Facebook either. You can even turn off the wall postings from the Steinhausen application if you so choose.
The Steinhausen application operates just like any other Facebook application, including the one we use for this blog. Our blog has been linked to Facebook since the day we launched. Happy shopping folks!
