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!

Coupon Code is: freeship (restrictions apply - see each website for details)

Shanes Tack Coupons - Teaching a Foal to Lead- CLICK HERE!


This is a special article from one of our own Michigan Companies - Shane's Tack.

Shane's Tack ( http://www.shanestack.com/ ) is one of those Mom and Pop type businesses that is located in Southeast Michigan. Through trial and error and a little bit of elbow grease they grew to be one of the most respected online retailers featuring primarily horse products, equine nutritional products and other farm supplies.

"The first few times you lead a very young foal should be with just your
arms around his chest and his buttocks, to keep him under control as he
accompanies his mother to and from a stall or pasture. After the foal is
accustomed to handling, you can halter him."

Gently corner him between you and the mare, or have someone restrain him
with an arm hold, so he can't back away or resist. Put the halter on carefully,
without bumping his nose, muzzle, or ears (especially if he was not haltered
during early imprinting).

When you start leading him with a halter, don't hold onto him just with
the halter rope; he may pull back or even throw himself down. To encourage him
to go forward when he'd rather balk, loop a short soft rope or lead strap around
his buttocks and hold the ends in your hands. Pulling on the rump rope will
encourage him to move forward, away from the rope on his rear end.

Pressure from the halter should come only if he tries to go too fast; never
pull him forward. Any restraint on his head may alarm him and cause him to rear
up and possibly fall over backward, harming himself.

When using a rump rope, reward the foal for moving properly by
releasing pressure. Pressure on the halter should cease as soon as he slows or
gives to it, as should pressure on the rump rope when he complies with a request
to move forward.

Keep the loop slack enough so he can move freely when asked but not so
slack it hangs down and bumps his hocks. Once he leads well, you won't need the
rump rope anymore.

Shane's Tack invites you to visit if you need any equine, farm, barn, stable or pest control supplies. They vow to treat you like the neighbor you are!

Wheat Germ Oil for Equine Skin and Coat Care- CLICK HERE!

We are about to embark on 2008 - approx. 50 years after the first studies of the benefits of wheat germ oil were released. The verdict? The medical community is still arguing about the benefits of wheat germ oil.

Everyone agrees on a few facts, though. Wheat Germ Oil taken in appropriate doses based on weights does not harm animals or humans. AND Wheat Germ Oil can enhance Muscle Gain & Recovery in people and horses.

With that said, I have personally hear numerous "miracle testimonials" about what the combination of wheat germ oil and soybean oil can do for both young horses and mature horses.

Soybean and Wheat Germ Oils add to the fullness of the coat and provide a show quality shine - this we know (almost as fact). Vitamins A, D, and E, whether given internally or applied externally work together to keep the coat healthy and aid in the healing process of most wounds and poor skin conditions. When Wheat Germ Oil Blend by Farnam is applied on the skin of a horse, it improves the circulation of blood and also helps to repair the skin cells destroyed by the scorching heat of sun.

Wheat Germ Oil Blend falls under the class of a commodity item. It is a very reasonably priced supplement when fed regularly. But, wheatgerm oil is a very sensitive oil, therefore must be used cautiously. It tends to degrade in quality, when exposed to high temperatures.

The oil extracted from wheat germ, the botanical name of which is Triticum vulgare, has a shelf life of near about 6-8 months.

Buy > $75 worth of supplements at http://www.shanestack.com/ and use coupon code: michbiz to save $5.00 off your order.

Research indicates that Wheat Germ Oil may be useful in the treatment of:
Skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis
Burns
Skin ulcers
Dry skin
Herpes
Cardiovascular disease
Poor circulation
Intermittent claudication
