Dear Watch Community,
Hope you're all well and enjoying this Thanksgiving weekend, wherever you are in the world!
I wanted to write out personally and outline the big changes, the enormous deals and how we're bringing maximum value this Thanksgiving, with some features here to stay beyond, for all new/existing members (see the upping of watch allocations for up to $6000 in extra value). I'm always looking at ways to add value to what our watch club provides, because I know the journey of a watch collector/enthusiast so well. And I figured, why not announce this weekend!
BLACK FRIDAY / CYBER MONDAY DEALS
Let's get the deals out of the way, first... I set about creating offers that would blow away anything we've ever done before. So I decided to hit multiple facets for the deals, from discounts to cashback, to bonuses. Here is what you get when you join:
✓ Up to $200 cashback (Yep, $200 FREE credit on your account)
We have 3 x plans. EXEC (watches average value $500), LUXE (avg watch value $1000) and LUXE+ (avg watch value $1800). For EXEC we're offering $50 cashback, LUXE $100 and LUXE+ $200 (meaning effectively 1 month free on each plan!). This cashback is applied to your account after membership month 3 (minimum commitment period).
✓ 15% Off ALL Plans for LIFE (save up to $457!)
Use coupon "CYBER22" for 15% off all plans for life, when you signup by Cyber Monday. This means, on LUXE+ plan you get $322 OFF your monthly membership over a 12 month plan PLUS $135 off your activation fee (total saving on that plan $457!)
✓ Bonus welcome gift (up to a $40 value)
We'll ship you a free welcome gift in the first month. This will ship separately from your watch and is up to $40 in value!
✓ FREE RETURNS (Up to $200 value per annum)
All members signing up during Black Friday / Cyber Monday will get access to FREE Returns. Previously, members had to buy their own shipping label, but we noticed members paying up to $25 per label, and we couldn't let that slide. So, WE ARE COVERING ALL RETURNS now, on behalf of new members who sign up during this period.
Simply contact returns@thekeeperbox.com and request your label, our team will purchase it and send you the label to print and attach to your box. To that end, we commit that we will provide a label within 24hrs of request via UPS Ground (normally a 3-5 day delivery), so please bear that in mind. We now will therefore allow members to request labels by last day of the month and they will receive a new watch in the subsequent ship window, without us necessarily having received the watch back. The watch must be dropped off at a UPS location with tracking kicked in by that last day of the month to qualify.
✓ CHECKOUT DEALS (Save up to $550!)
When you checkout as a new member, you'll see a few incredible deals saving up to 55% off MSRP. Simples.
THE NEW STUFF
Wanna know some of the new things we did to add even more value?
FUN ACCESSORIES BUNDLES (From $36.99)
We just launched a NEW microbrand accessory plan that is designed to excite and delight. For just $39.99 per quarter (or $36.99 per month) we are hand-curating a package worth up to $100 for members, including fun branded items and things watch lovers get excited by. These include some of the examples attached, such as:
✓ Straps
✓ Tools
✓ Branded mugs, coozies, flasks, caps, t-shirts, apparel
✓ Custom coins
✓ Stickers / Patches
You can add this plan alongside your existing plan, or on its' own, totally up to you, but the idea is to provide a fun little delivery each month/quarter. Members keep all accessories but as with our watch plans, you'll get an exciting delivery, some cool Limited Edition things and micro-branded/branded accessories you'll appreciate. Everything will be hand-wrapped and shipped safely.
NEW BRANDS
As you'll be aware, we're always adding new brands to our rotation, but we also have some exciting ones coming to the fore. Recently we've sent out watches by brands as diverse and high-quality as Oris, Mido, Ocean Crawler, Tribus, Herodia, Henry Archer, Tockr, Tuseno, Timeless, Oceaneva, Venezianico, Glycine, Longines, Alpina, Tag Heuer, Rado, Alsta, LeJour, Hamilton, Ginault, Ball, Delma, Zodiac, Christopher Ward and many more.
NO NO LIMITS?
Here's a little bonus surprise for you which adds up to $6,000 in watch value experienced in each year (and this applies to all existing and new members). When we launched the club, it was on the basis of offering as much value as could reasonably be created. We launched with a 9-watch limit per 12-month membership, when believing that would be the max number of watches someone could experience in a 12 month period based on the fact we run a "ship-back" vs. purchase opportunity on each watch. The reason for this was to allow the member as much time as they needed to decide whether a watch was a keeper or not (e.g. so we did not rush the decision).
This limit has also proved to be the most confusing aspect of our club, for new members, who still find it a little difficult to see the "why" for this. Over time it really got me thinking. Over the last 9 months in operation we have had some members lament this choice and I always knew it was a confusing nuance to the membership. e.g. "why" 9 instead of 8, 10, 12? So, as with everything about this club, I want members to be ever-more in total control of their own unique journey.
In this mode WE set the limit, but I recently started thinking... what if there wasn't a limit as such? What if we allowed up to 12 watches per year (e.g. one per ship window) and it was just up to the member how many or how few they got/shipped back? They can't get more than 12 per year because we only have 12 ship windows.
One very important caveat to be aware of here - There is no rollover of watches, no retro-fit, and no exceptions to this. So if you hit 9, or 10 in a 12 month period you don't get extra watches in the subsequent year's membership. Nor do you get more than one watch at a time. So, if you hit the 1-per-month frequency i.e. 12 total (one per ship window), cool! If you hit 8-9, you're still getting amazing value as members have done to date. BUT, if you want to maximize your value of membership you decide what holds that value best... Is it "more" watches (e.g. 12 per 12 months), or is it "experiencing" watches for longer before buying/shipping back.
However, the onus is on you, the member, to get watches shipped back as swiftly as possible. Please see the free returns shipping info above for how this impacts ship-back process and timescale. We can do so much with this, but it becomes messy if the ship windows are not adhered to or where members request special treatment outside of these parameters.
So, to clarify this. You can now get up to 1 watch per ship window on each plan up to a maximum of 12 per 12 months. Your membership fee each month allows you ACCESS to the watches, but it is your decision as to how many or how few you experience in a year.
With that said, those are your Black Friday / Cyber Monday updates, and as I write this, you have about 36 hours to join or add a plan to avail of these special new deals. I hope you'll agree, these are going above and beyond on offering a value that has not been seen in a watch club to date!
