Ready To Wrap, Ready To Give

It's the Christmas Season again. I have exactly 17 days to start my Christmas shopping. I can't help procrastinating year in and year out, it just happens. I'm telling you, I always end up at CVS an hour before my Christmas Eve party buying my $5 grab. It's horrible. As you sit and read this blog I hope you're shopping is done (or at least almost done). I can remember hearing customers at previous retail stores I've worked in, saying that AFTER Christmas, mere days after the holiday, they are DONE shopping for the next year. I wish I could be more like them. Celebrate the holiday, prep for the next one, and wait 362 some odd days to give the gifts! But sadly, 98% of Americans are more like me....they wait. I don't know if we wait for the best last minute deals?...or we're just way too busy to think about it?...or could it be that EVERYONE goes to the mall at the same time and there isn't enough Tylenol in the bottle to overcome it? Whatever it is, it is...what it is.

I'm going to try and eliminate SOME of the pressure of holiday purchasing. Percy's has a holiday gift guide and a section of gifts for under $200. We've got some video game systems, portable dvd players, iPod docks, digital picture frames, and some more great gift ideas for NOW. Not for an hour before the store closes on Christmas Eve. Don't wait! Beat the procrastinating bug this holiday season.

If It Snows 6" or More...

...on Christmas Day, your purchase will be FREE! Yes, it's already that time again. Each year time seems to get shorter and shorter, but alas, it's time again for Black Friday. The turkey is in the fridge awaiting two pieces of bread, the stuffing and potato are gone, pies are chilling for another round of feasting today, and people were are out in their PJ's at stores just after midnight tonight for that killer deal. Oh how I love the holidays.

We here at Percy's offer a lot of those killer deals here too with killer pricing but our angle is a little off skew with everyone else's offers. We don't just offer the big screen TV's for under $700, or the 1 year no interest financing, or the $99 Blu-ray players, nope...we've gone above and beyond everyone else. We're selling everything this weekend at low, low prices and are boldly stating that if it snows 6" or more on Christmas Day at the Worcester Airport from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM...we'll pay off your entire purchase. Yup. Everything you'll buy (excluding tax) will be totally free.

So how would a 60" Mitsubishi DLP 1080p HDTV sound at a low price of $799? How about if it snows 6" or more on Christmas Day and it costs $0 (excluding tax)? Why buy elsewhere for the same products when you can shop at Percy's and pay nothing extra for the chance that it could be free? It just makes sense to not shop anywhere else. We've also got some perfect furniture packages with some HDTV's and Blu-ray players that are priced just right for the holiday and remember, it could be free!

See our ad in the Telegram & Gazette or view it online here. We're open all weekend and are ready to make your holiday a memorable one! See a salesperson for all the details on this ad.

How About Sleeping In Black Friday?

I've seen a lot of things in my retail career. I've seen seasons come and go, ad campaigns come and go, fads come and go, Furby's come and go, but nothing compares to Black Friday. I used to work for a big chain and I used to have to go into work on Black Friday at around 3am. When I GOT there at 3am, a line had already been forming and was about 300 people deep...at least. It is without a doubt the busiest shopping day og the year. So why get up at 1am or earlier just to beat the crowds???

How about beating the crowds this Sunday?

This Sunday (November 22nd) come to Percy's and buy your Christmas gifts early. We're releasing some of our many specials early so you don't have to rush after Thanksgiving. Take the day off, laugh at your friends who are out in the cold...because you bought yours early. Buy Early. Save Early.

You can see the deals here. Pricing may not be correct if it's not the 22nd of November.

TV's For Everyone This Holiday

The highest anticipated Christmas gift last year was a nice, big, shiny new flat panel High-Def TV. Most people saw the $3,000 to $5,000 price tag on the average size desired (42"), and said "Ehhhhh, I'll wait." The waiting is over!

Most 42" Flat Panel HDTV's are priced (on average) from $999 to $2,000 depending on what you buy. Some plasmas may be more expensive and some LCD's may be more expensive, it all depends on what features you're looking for. Either way, the price is a green light for some and they'll have one with a red bow on it on December 25th under their tree. 720p is the economic High-Def TV that you'll still find in stores, but 1080p is what people have been waiting for the price to drop on. 1080p is considered TRUE FULL HD and will give you the best quality. Although 1080p is the highest, you have to question whether or not there will be any higher resolution. I mean they went from tube staticy resolution to 720p to 1080p in a long time, yet technology is advancing 10 times quicker so there has to be something......and there is.

They are working on what they call Super Hi-Vision. You see, 1080p is basically 1920 x 1080 pixels of resolution. Super Hi-Vision is claiming to have 7680 × 4320 pixels, four times as wide and four times as high as existing HDTV. I can't even fathom what that would even look like. I mean 1080p looks really good to me, so how would 4320p look? Should you hold off? No. Japan is working on this now and they have to build it from the ground up. The date that they may have a working prototype won't be until at least 2020.

So until then, 1080p will continue to drop in price and more and more HD channels will be unveiled on your cable or satellite provider. See one of our sales specialists to see what type is right for you. And check back closer to Black Friday to see the best deals all year on Flat Panel HDTV's. Keep the spot under the tree warm for now...
