Because of the excessive frenzy concerned with discounts at TemplateMonster we decided to clarify the situation and describe all possible ways to get a discount and the respective “terms and conditions”.
1. First option is that our newsletter subscribers can receive a one-time 7% discount on any product subscribing for TemplateMonster newsletter. In order to get this discount you have to actually subscribe and click the confirmation link (or copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar). Having received the promocode, enter it at the checkout page. This discount is valid for only twenty-four hours.
2. Additionally, you will be given a 5% discount daily for newly added products. You will find the discount links in each newsletter email. Such cut rate is valid on the day the new templates are added. You may subsribe to our newsletter on the TemplateMonster homepage (bottom center)
3. Third option is a discount for completing the First Customer Survey. The point is that the customers who purchase something at TemplateMonster for the first time ever complete the first customer survey which instantly gives them a one-time 20% discount. However, not every purchase gives you the chance to complete the First Customer Survey - you only have to buy a web template, CMS or Blog template or eCommerce template. The promocode is active during 1 month.
4. Occasionally, we hold some special promos that are not discount-code-based (for instance, the category discount when all of the templates filed under certain category are discounted during certain period - e.g. Hotels category discount). We always announce about such campaigns in our reports, on our blog, and on Twitter. Therefore in order not to miss them we strongly suggest you to subscribe for our newsletter (new templates report), blog RSS, and Twitter updates.
5. Currently, we keep on publishing new 50% discount codes on our Twitter account – one day, one promocode, each of them will be active for 1 order (so the first person to use it will be the only one who takes advantage of that particular discount code). This is a real boom of discounts! So, go to our official Twitter account page right now and become our follower - in this case you’ll have the best of the bargain!

Seems everybody should get the discount who is part of the twitter following for a few hours after the offering. I work for a living and I am not always in front of a computer to beat somebody to save $30. Open for an hour or two and watch more people purchase during hose hours. After all, 50% of something is better than %100 of nothing.

I hate spelling errors on my part ….. Open discount once a week to all twitter followers for an hour or two and watch more people purchase during those hours.
After all, 50% of something (a sale) is better than %100 of nothing (no Sale).
Six sales over 6 days vs. 50 sales in one hour. Test it and see …..

Steven, actually the code is usually being used several seconds after it’s posted - none of the ones previously published lasted longer than 1 minute. As sad as it is for us to know that you didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the discount there is nothing we can do about it. After all if we give the discount generated just for you now that’d be unfair to the other customers.

that is not what he is saying Alex, he is saying that you should offer periods of a couple hours when a %50 discount is able to be used by all customers, in that is would generate more sales in that period of time because all people love getting a 50% discount

I agree with the others. In all fairness the discount should be available to all followers, and it would increase TM’s profit margin.

Your templates are overpriced. I’d buy them if they were 30% cheaper
