Crazy Ligmans Summer Savings Sale
Posted: 5:38 pm May 23rd, 2006	Post a comment Deals

Now this has to be the funniest blog post I've read in quite a while. I like the numbers breakdown, too. Here is my take on it:

Get your unbeatable bottom price on SBS, SBE Office, XP Upgrade deals this weekend at Crazy Ligman's software sale. All business platform SKU's must go! We got a huge shipment from the factory and ALL must go before June 30th. $922? Forget about it. $800? No way! Just $797 gets you in a seat of a brand new SBS CAL, XP Pro Upgrade Cal and SBE Office. $797, fully loaded! You'll be cruising your office documents – anywhere. Don't have a PocketPC? We'll throw that in too! Everything but the kitchen sink! Come and see us at the corner of 1 Microsoft Way at Crazy Ligmans where our volume means savings for you! We finance eeeveryone! (guarantee not a guarantee, must be a small business and qualify for the financing. all tax, tags and financing charges excluded)

Now all joke aside this is a pretty good deal. First off, you can stack all the discounts described in the blog, standardize on a platform for the next 3 years, get a free upgrade to R2 when it comes out and probably get Vista in there. They'll even hook you up with a phone and financing. If you've got a business thats been avoiding an upgrade they will not see this good of a deal anytime soon. Plus the time is just ripe to get in before the Vista upgrade cycle. If they don't sign the dotted line for this you likely just have a lost hope on your client list, cut them loose and go win some business with this one.

what the…?

no fireworks at crazy ligman’s?

The question here is does this still require you close a companywide deal? Thats the only reason I don’t have that phone yet as most places may have one or two desktops that are in tip top shape or more often than not just don’t care about the receptionists PC or the old fax server to sign everything over. Nice idea but poor small business adoption.
