50% Discounts to our Facebook and Twitter Followers – Thanksgiving Monster Promo!

Happy Thanksgiving our dearest friends! TemplateMonster team is proud to give out our huge thanks to all of the people who have been with us and their families, that’s a great honor for us to be your web design destination. We want to remind you that today is also the last day when we count your purchases in a Thanksgiving promo, so today is your last chance to increase the current discount and to confirm that you really do want to participate in a promo, feel free to do that on our Thanksgiving promo page. And to make this holiday even more memorable for you guys we’ve decided to provide a little promo for our social networks audience – our Facebook and Twitter families. Here’s what it’s all about.

Within a day today we’ll be giving out 50% discounts on our Facebook fan page and on our Twitter page, we’ll start at around 7 AM EST and will go on until sometime around 6 PM EST and will deliver at least 10 promocodes on each social network (maybe there will be more than 10, if you’ll ask). And we won’t tell you the exact time each discount will be published – it’s a holiday after all, there’s got to be a surprise about something, otherwise where’s the fun part? Each promocode will be applicable for one purchase only – so the first person to apply it on a shopping cart page and complete the order checkout will be the only person that will take advantage of that particular promocode. This is the most important part of the promo, first one wins and in case that first someone isn’t you – don’t be frustrated and just keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds in order not to miss the next one. On the other hand one person is able to use multiple discount codes during the promo day in case he/she is the first, there’s nothing we can do about that.

Another crucial thing is being the first – to actually be able to use the discount code before somebody else does you have to keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds and use the promocode as soon as you can after it appears, so I suggest you to choose the product you want to purchase and add it to your shopping cart in advance, and then just paste the code on a shopping cart page (here’s where you have to paste it). Good luck!

Thanksgiving Promo with Massive Discounts at TemplateMonster

From now on, we will give thanks to each and every of our loyal customers. TemplateMonster is going to roll out a massively awesome Thanksgiving promo with an incredible number of discounts under the hood!

Following the results of the whole year of 2010, we’ll sum up the amount of purchases of each TemplateMonster customer. (The customer’s email address will be used in this case to uniquely identify all the purchases made.) Then, based on the number of those purchases, we’ll award our dearly beloved customers with discounts – the more purchases were made before, the bigger the discount will eventually be.

Thanksgiving Promo with Massive Discounts at TemplateMonster

Besides, the customers can personally affect the size of a discount. If they make additional orders at TemplateMonster with the same email up to November 25th 2010, that will enlarge the discount given to them at the end of the promo. As from the date of November 29th 2010, we’ll figure the number of orders assigned to each customer and on that ground assess and deliver the discounts.

You can subscribe for Thanksgiving promo by visiting our Thanksgiving promo Info Page (make sure to check the checkbox to enter the promo). In there, you may also type in the email address that you’ve made your purchases with and see the discount currently available to you. Note that the promocodes given under our Thanksgiving promo will be active till the end of the year 2010. What’s also important that each promocode is valid for the purchase with maximum three products in the shopping cart. Make it a fun and happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

10% Discount on All Flash CMS Templates!

You may have heard that our good friends formerly known as FlashMoto CMS have changed their name into Moto CMS. It was a required action from them in order not to violate copyright law (Flash is a registered trademark of Adobe) and right now we’re all getting used to a new name and identity of this company.

In order to make this transition process easier (and to demonstrate once again that it’s still the same old premium Flash CMS) we and the guys from Moto CMS are now launching a 10% discount on all of our Flash CMS templates. During the period of over a year of Flash CMS templates presence at TemplateMonster we’ve produced 50+ templates of this type so you definitely have enough variety to choose from.

10% Discount on All Flash CMS Templates!

During the next 7 days starting today you’ll be able to get any of those Flash CMS templates at a price 10% lower than usually (in other words you save around $25 on each purchase). But make sure you get one of these templates on time because the discount will only last until Monday, October 18th 2010. Take care!
