GregRobert Enterprises Launches Free Shipping with "Double Dip- Free Ship"- CLICK HERE!

November, 8, 2009

Two weeks is a charm. That's what GregRobert (parent company of a number of popular online retail stores including http://www.grpet.com/ and http://www.backyardstyle.com/) thinks. Two weeks earlier than last year, GregRobert has rolled out their best Free Shipping deal of the year - a full 14 days earlier than 2008's Free Shipping launch.

Shown to the right the Retro Birdhouse collection at BackyardStyle.com makes great gifts.

Using coupon code: freeship, visitors can take advantage of free shipping at each of GregRobert's stores. At the same time, GregRobert has expanded quantity discounts to include each and every product in stock. Dubbed "Double Dip Free Ship", early indicators show that the combination of offers will be a success this holiday season.

In a phased launch, GregRobert Pet Supplies was the first store to quietly roll out "Double Dip, Free Ship" on Friday, November 6th. http://www.farmgeneral.com/ and BackyardStyle.com were launched on Saturday and finally free shipping at RachelsRobin and RabbitMart.com occurred on or about noon today.

We were able to speak with Ray Joyce, CEO of GregRobert earlier today for a short interview:

The Michigan Business Directory: "Why did GregRobert choose such aggressive discounts so early in the season this year?"
Ray Joyce: "In a year where every penny counts, many people will start their holiday shopping online to find deals, search customer reviews to select products, and get gift ideas. We want to make sure that shipping costs do not deter them from buying online at any of our stores"

The Michigan Business Directory: "Any early indications regarding how your offers are being accepted?"
Ray Joyce: "48 hours after the launch of Double Dip-Free Ship at http://www.grpet.com/, we can confidently say that a quantifiable increase in sales has occurred."

The Michigan Business Directory: "How is GregRobert Enterprises able to offer quantity percents off and free shipping at the same time?"
Ray Joyce: "We have spent the last four months streamlining our operations and working with vendors to lower prices. We are ready to share this with our customers. There is no other way to lower prices and offer free shipping in this economy - cut out everything you possibly can."

Before hopping in the car to wander endlessly through strip malls and big-box stores - be sure to visit http://www.farmgeneral.com/ or http://www.backyardstyle.com/ or http://www.grpet.com/ to choose from over 20,000 products that can be shipped to you for free and at a discount to boot!
