Who Doesn’t Love A Sale?

I’m a skeptic… not a newsflash to many of you. When I see an ad announcing amazing sales with 50% off, I think “Yeah, and they calculate that from some artificial retail price which is way more than anyone would pay anyway.” Often there is a glimpse of some disclaimer like ‘restrictions apply’ or ‘not available in all locations’ that shows up so small and quickly you can’t fully read it.

However, marketing professionals tell me that everyone loves a sale, sales increase business… and so, let’s have a sale! We’ll call it the April 2012 Sale! Here’s how it works:

For work done and billed in the month of April, 2012, Critical Computer will take 50% off. If you were paying $150.00/hr for high-end/server support, you’ll pay $75.00/hr. If you were paying $125.00/hr for general services, you’ll pay $62.50/hr. That’s a real 50% off the normal rates. Work has to start and stop within the month of April 2012, so no calling on Monday, April 30 with 40 hours of work you want done before Tuesday. You can call anytime to schedule work to start in April.

The April 2012 sale is an excellent time to get those computer and tech things off your todo list. Things like cleaning up all the debris in the computer, operating system optimization, Windows patching, virus software/malware checks, tweaks to the website, swap out old computers for new, install a new network line for a future computer, etc.

Service will be first-come, first served, and scheduled (if demand exceeds my capacity to complete quickly). I do reserve the right to decline the work (I can’t imagine why, but it is prudent to throw that in there just in case).
