Coupon Code Trouble?



Good Morning Everyone!

Coupon Codes can be tricky. We've had a couple customers email us to let us know the coupon code DAYOFF was not working. We checked it out and it is functioning. However, since there are a couple factors that cause this pesky trickiness - we thought we would provide a couple reasons why it may not work at the time of checkout.

1) The code DAYOFF is case-sensitive so you need to enter it in all caps as shown. If it's entered in lowercase or upper and lowercase, the system will not recognize it and will not apply it to the order.

2) After entering the coupon code where it says ENTER COUPON CODE - the Blue REDEEM box needs to be clicked - once you click REDEEM, it will automatically continue the order process to the next step. It's easy to overlook the REDEEM button, especially since the CONTINUE box is just below - but this will cause the code to not work.

There may be other reasons we are unaware of. But, these are the two main reasons the coupon code may not stick. We apologize to the customers who were having trouble with the code. Don't give up Girls!

Holiday Deal # 8 - The Maids Take A Day Off!



Phew...it does sound really nice doesn't it? A day off? As moms (parents) it seems like there is always something going on, something to be done, someone who needs something. The holidays are no different - actually there are MORE demands placed on us during these last few weeks of the year. Those extra activities seem to eat up so much of our time. And, more often that not, we don't even get to truly enjoy these activites because there are so many of them. Am I right? Plays, parties, get-to-gethers, etc.

Well, sadly, we here at BabyOutfitter can't give you a day off. But what we can give you is a cheaper, faster and much easier way to pick up a few things on that long list this season. We're hoping we can save some of you ANOTHER trip to the mall, ANOTHER battle for the last parking space, ANOTHER rude retail clerk - OH THE HORROR!!

In this spirit of helping our fellow moms, dads, parents, grandparents this holiday season, we're proud to usher in HOLIDAY DEAL #8! We're really digging deep into our pockets this time to offer our customers 30% off all product purchases!! We've never given that much of a discount on our products. But, we know times are tough and some of customers are struggling more than ever this year to afford to put gifts under their tree.

We know we don't have XBOX games and IPODS. Our products don't email or text but they do bring joy to children and to their families.

We have videos - sit and watch a video with your little one(s) this holiday. Pop some popcorn and snuggle under a blanket with them. For nearly less than a tank of gas - you can pick any one of our family favorites.

We also have great books - when was the last time you dropped everything to sit with someone precious to you and read them a great little story - or helped them read it to you? Browse our children's book section for tremendous deals on books for all ages.

To take advantage just enter DAYOFF in the coupon code section during checkout. Your 30% discount will be deducted from your total. It is case sensitive (so please enter it in all caps) and does not apply to shipping charges. And since we are so late getting this out - we're going to extend the savings through DAY # 9! We have a special treat for tomorrow - more to come on that so be sure to check back.

We truly appreciate each and every one of our customers and we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!

Until next time -

We're A little Behind - Day # 5 & Day # 6 COMBINED



Since we were completely slammed with orders yesterday and this morning, we weren't able to get the HOLIDAY DEAL for DAY # 5 FIVE GOLDEN RINGS up in time. So we have elected to combine it with our DAY # 6 DEAL

So without further delay - For our combination DAY #5 and DAY # 6 promotions we are giving two deals in one:

10% off your product total AND Free Shipping on all orders. Simply enter COMBO56 in the coupon code section at checkout and the discount will be applied to your order.

For those customers who earned the Traditions $5 off your order reward for Day # 3 - you may use this in conjunction with the current promotion. HOWEVER...since there is only one option for a coupon code during checkout - you'll want to apply the current code of COMBO56 and mention the discount code for the $5 Tradition reward in the comments section. We will be sure to issue a credit to your account for the $5 amount.

We've added new products to most of our categories - you should find lots of great deals! Don't forget the books, toys and videos!

We hope you are enjoying the contests and promotions! We are very busy. But, we are certainly having a lot of fun with them so far.

Could Someone Get The Door?


That's a phrase heard often here at the office - we're constantly shuffling boxes out to the postman (well, postWOMAN in our case). But, there's never been as many boxes as there are this morning! What a fabulous surprise!

We've managed to dig ourselves out from under the pile of priority mail boxes and pages of packing slips to thank all of our wonderful customers for the absolutely amazing response to yesterday's contest. We nearly beat out our record day of sales in all our five plus years in business - we missed by just $82.00!!!

What we thought was most interesting is that the majority of the orders were all less than $25! We thought for sure someone would purchase a bunch, in the hopes their order would be selected. Apparently, we don't have any gamblers shopping the site. :o)

We had trouble with the random generator this morning, so we stacked and shuffled all the orders and pulled one out of the stack.


CONGRATULATIONS TO CORRINE MCSPEDON!!


SHE IS TODAY'S WINNER - RECEVING A COMPLETE ORDER REFUND OF $26.24!


Corrine has won our drawing and will receive a complete refund on her entire order! Thank you to everyone who participated by placing an order. We are obviously dealing with a larger volume of packages than normal. However, we will be updating each and every customer with the current status of their order by the end of the day today.

Stay Tuned For The Day 5 Deal!

We were completely overhelmed with the response to yesterday's contest entries for your favorite holiday traditions.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated!

A winner has been randomly selected from our enteries:

YOU ARE THE WINNER OF A $25.00 BABYOUTFITTER GIFT CERTIFICATE!


In keeping with this spirit of sharing and kindness, we've decided to extend a small gift to each of the contest participants. So, if you submitted a response to yesterday's Favorite Holiday Traditions contest, you will receive $5.00 your next order!

We'll be sending emails out to each of you with the coupon codes you will need to redeem them. ***IF YOU WERE 1 OF THE 8 WHO POSTED A COMMENT ON THE BLOG - PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL AT babyoutfitter@yahoo.com SO THAT WE CAN EMAIL YOUR COUPON CODE. SOME SUBMISSIONS DID NOT INCLUDE EMAIL ADDYS!!***

Thank you again to everyone who participated. Below are a few of the submissions with names removed for privacy.

Every year, we go into the woods behind our house and find our very own "Charlie Brown Christmas tree"--sparse branches and all. We decorate the tree with lights and beautiful ornaments that we have made from years past (we save them and add 2 or 3 additional homemade ornaments each year). We do put up a 'real' tree later..but this little tree kicks off our fun for the rest of the month.

*************************************************************************************

The day after Thanksgiving we decorate our house from top to bottom. The
kids get to decorate the tree anyway the want-which is usually pretty
interesting and a great conversation piece! Then on Christmas Eve we all
open one present each in front of the fire, share what we are thankful for,
and share a family memory from the past year. My kids are 21, 9, 7 (and 2,
but he doesn't get it yet). The things kids come up with! It's a
hilariously good time!

*************************************************************************************

Growing up, our family always made homemade donuts on Christmas morning after the presents were opened, and now we do the same with our 2 boys. We have powdered sugar, glaze and cinnamon sugar and to be honest, i am suddenly really looking forward to that

*************************************************************************************

My favorite holiday tradition is going to the Macy's store display on the 3rd floor downtown. Each year, there is an animatronics display that is quite extensive. This year, my family and I saw "A Day in the Life of an Elf," which was fabulous!

*************************************************************************************


My favorite tradition is simply attending Christmas Eve candlelight service with my family, acknowledging our blessings, and returning home to enjoy the anticipation of what the next morning will bring.
