I happened to notice the other day that there is a “promotions manager” on Amazon.com’s store manager, and I decided to run one for the holiday to see how it works.

Starting Monday, November 15 at 9AM (US Eastern) and running through December 31, I’ll be running an end-of-the-year promotion: Save 20% on two Emergent Task Planner pads. That knocks the price down from US$12.50 per pad to $10.00, a savings of $5.00. Single pads are still $12.50. If you add two pads to your cart, you should see the markdown applied automatically.

The big advantage of the pre-printed pad is the high-quality paper (Cougar Opaque White 80#) printed by a local printer I use, in crisp two-color spot Pantone ink. By using spot color, the crispness of the color text is much improved. There is room on the left for hole punching, too. Each pad is mounted on cardboard and shrink-wrapped so it is nice and new when it arrives.

Where to Order

» Pads are available through Amazon.com
To receive the promotion, add at least two pads to your shopping cart. You will see the “promotion applied” line item when you check out. The promotion runs until midnight, January 1, 2011.

I am not shipping outside the United States; you wouldn’t believe how much it costs to ship a pound of paper to Europe (it costs more than the pad).
