StockingsHQ - good news for a happy new year


Hi and happy new year from Stockings HQ

Celebrating a decade in stockings...

2010 is a special year for the web site as it represents a decade at the forefront of the stockings revival. To celebrate I thought it would be nice to start the year with a quick email with three bits of good news:

1 - A voucher code to give you 10% off everything in the shop!

The weather outside is cold and fairly miserable, and bank accounts have no doubt taken a bit of a battering in the run up to Christmas, so it seems a good time to help cheer things up a bit by offering a voucher for the site.

So, to mark the start of our 10th anniversary year, if you enter the word decade (lower case) in the voucher box at the top of the checkout page, you'll save 10% off your entire order value. It's valid for any order placed this coming week, right through to Sunday January 10th (appropriately). Have fun and enjoy!

You can visit the site now at http://www.stockingshq.com

2 - VAT frozen for a week!

As you've no doubt heard, the Government has put UK VAT back up to 17.5% from today. We haven't though... We're keeping it at the old lower rate for a week and making up the difference on your behalf. So prices are even lower than they should be to start with!

3 - Final price reductions on end of line products

The clearance page is down to the last few pairs of the last few products, but as the trade show season starts imminently, we really need to clear the shelves to make way for lots of exciting new arrivals. So, prices have dropped again with discounts of up to 84%. Catch a bargain while you can:

- Stock update

Finally, it's been an exceptionally busy few weeks in the warehouse, and most of the manufacturers have been closed for a while now, so apologies if you find certain products out of stock.

On the positive side, we finally had the long-awaited (and very late!) Cervin delivery this week, as well as a big new delivery from Veneziana (albeit with the Nadia stockings in the wrong colour so they're going back .... grrr!).

Mary will be hard at work this coming week, so lots will be coming back in over the next fortnight or so. We also have another new staff member starting in the despatch department this week. I'm sure we'll keep her busy!

That's all for now... many thanks again for your support throughout 2009. And sincere best wishes for a fantastic new year!
