BLACK FRIDAY
WHY WE've brought black friday forward at Riley
Every year watch brands battle for advertising views over the Black Friday weekend and beyond. This makes it super expensive to get our discounts in front of people who actually want to buy our watches.
Because of this, we’re doing it now instead. Basically, between now and the end of the month, we’re running the discount campaigns we would otherwise be spending a fortune to run if we waited.
This means not only can you get your watches IN TIME for Black Friday (you won’t have to wait while every other company in the world ships their products at the same time), we can also do better deals because we’re not spending so much vying for your attention.
Win win.
We’ve got three offers available.
Get 15% off any watch - use code BLACKFRIDAY15
And these are the big ones…
Buy one watch, get any other watch half price - use code BLACKFRIDAY1
But two watches, get a third totally free - use code BLACKFRIDAY2.
So if you’re looking to add to your collection, you can bump it up with two or three Rileys and save some money in the process!
Thanks as always!
Sam - owner, Riley
