Bath & Body Works | Today's Sales & Coffee Talk
The $12.95 three wick candles are still on sale, including the Rewards Member APP loyalty secret candle drop of Pumpkin Nut Butter and Pumpkin Donut Shop Candles.
For my area, the Hand Soaps and Foaming Hand Soap Refills are also on sale.
Please Note - as what happens often throughout the year - but especially around the holidays - Bath and Body Works is testing out various promo offers and price points to see what we, their loyal fan base, prefer. It is nothing new and for those that received an email of $4.95 body care, lucky you! For the rest of us, I am sure at one time soon we will all be able to get a great promo on something we want.
Usually if your area stores are among those offering these different promos, you're going to get the email notification.
Now just a bit about yesterday's more touchy subject - the Disappearing 25% off Coupon.
Stuff Happens. We would all be lucky if THAT was the worst thing that happens to us in a day -- The Bath and Body Works coupon disappeared out of my APP wallet.
Bath and Body Works offered a great coupon through the APP to help drive sales via that platform. For whatever reasons, the APP glitched when it went live (as things sometimes do) and allowed extra coupon stacking and bunches of people who were up and saw it "shopped" that sale. We know because we saw all of the screenshots of savings shared alllll over social letting us know.
Bath and Body Works removed the coupon from the APP to stop the discounts. And social posts were not happy.
The worst thing that they did was to say in response to the removal was - it wasn't supposed to happen, there was no coupon....while alerting stores as to what happened.
I mean, the ad for the coupon launched in the email. It was something planned. People knew and saw the ad in their emails and for some who were awake during the launch, they saved TONS on tons of candles.
And that could have been the issue.
Did they cancel those orders? I haven't read that any have been.
From what we know they stopped the coupon, and later in the day let stores know that that promo was cancelled. The End.
But not for some who are up in arms over it enough to try and rally people to boycott the brand to let them know they are upset. They know. They read what we post, they are in social groups both public and private and they see. And know.
The thing about boycotting is you can go on social and talk a good game, make a plan to do something...but how do we ever really truly know what someone else is going to do?
Do I think that those who "go black" on a selected day will not be shopping? Nope. We are all creatures of habit and while we get indignant over the wrongs we feel...sometimes the drive for a want is greater than any cause we agreed to when we first got upset.
I shop with my wallet according to how I feel about something. I control my purse so to speak so when I feel a certain way about something, that is how I spend my money. Not by what others think.
Case in point...a certain launch caused me grief. Do you think I want to look at those things?....where once I was excited to have them and now feel a certain way about them because I think of the nonsense that's related to them. I returned the candles to the store and sold off the three pocketbac holders at cost.
I determined how I wanted to do something for myself.
Big Business has to protect its bottom line like a Small Business would too. A small business would most likely do things a bit different, to a point...but if the big business chooses to go about changing up the way they want to offer something...they have that choice ----- and I have the choice to shop it...find someone else to give my hard earned money to, or save my money for another time.
But that is me. I hope those who are upset over the coupon find their choices too.
Happy Saturday.
