World Wide Free Shipping From Gearhead Records

The frosty fingers of winter have started to stroke the lush Sacramento Valley. Freeze warnings on the local news have triggered the frantic covering of cold-tender plants like orange and lemon trees, hibiscus and other tropical plants that grow so wonderfully in the rich warm climate of Northern California. As a Master Gardener, these changes are foremost in my mind as I balance running my business with my love of gardening. Do I concentrate on getting the website updated for the Gearhead Records annual holiday Free Shipping Sale, or do I take the next few days off to take care of my plants? It’s the daily balancing act that makes running a small business so exciting, and so challenging, especially as the holidays approach. Since the last newsletter just went out a few weeks ago, you dear subscribers already know what’s been going on, so I can just send out this short update, and then get back to my plants!

ANNUAL HOLIDAY FREE SHIPPING SALE WORLDWIDE STARTS DEC. 8

For one week every year, Gearhead says thank you to our customers around the world by offering free shipping on any item purchased through our Secure Web Store. As a small business, there’s not a lot of room to mark merchandise up, and since all the items we sell in our Web Store are custom, and therefore by definition, unique and limited, there usually isn’t any room for big sales and discounts like our brethren at the Big Box Stores.

I’m not knocking those giant corporate chains at all– they serve a purpose in our economic climate. But the holidays are a time to focus on the unique, the different, the unexpected, and what better way to blow the minds of your gift recipients than by giving them the Gift of Gearhead and saving a few bucks on shipping for you! As most of you long-time subscribers know, we have something for everyone: rockin’ tunes for the indie music fan, shot glasses for the drinker in your life, t-shirts and hoodies, and stickers and posters for that wrencher working on their wheels in your garage.

So head over to our Secure Web Store, Dec 8 through Dec. 15 and click on any item to add it to your shopping cart, and at check out, you’ll just pay for the items, minus shipping! And yes, no matter where you live on this lovely planet, your order will ship to you free of charge. Now, there may be a small fee for using your credit card, and there’s nothing I can do about that–it’s built into the back end of the credit card processor, but honestly, its just pennies, not the full cost of shipping. That is my gift to you my friends, for sticking with Gearhead, and supporting us these last eleven years! World Wide Free Shipping ends Dec. 15! Happy Holidays!

GEARHEAD TO BE FEATURED LABEL ON ITUNES FOR CHRISTMAS!!

While I have never actually downloaded music off of Itunes, I hear tell its all the rage these days. Our pals at Itunes really want to get Gearhead into the present and have asked us to be their featured label during the frantic holiday season, and we’ve said yes! So what does that mean for you, the downloader extraordinaire, or newbie like myself? From December 22 through January 3 2012, a number of Gearhead records will be on sale for download through Itunes at a special discounted rate!

Many of you may already use Itunes to purchase digital music, so just log into your account and download these select titles for the discounted rate. If you don’t have an Itunes account, it’s really easy to set up. I even finally set one up myself! Maybe you’ll get a new Iphone or other MP3 player or computer for the holidays, so have some fun and check out some new music, or talk your friends into doing it, and download away!

As we wrap up this year, and look towards the future, may you all enjoy the spirit of the holidays, and share what you have with those you love. The holiday season is about recognizing and appreciating the community you find yourselves in, whether it’s a group of punk rockers, car buffs, gardening fanatics or your crazy family that never got who you were. Love them anyway and enjoy how they enhance your life.

Sending you all greetings and best wishes for a festive and abundant holiday season.

Michelle
