IK All-Grade Promotion for November info

[autodafe]

Ha ha, yeah, only Jesus could deliver it across that much water.

of course "ground" shipment travel by ship up the way to here ..I bought a Synht once (Yamaha CS10) in the USA, shipped "ground" and took more than 4 Months to arrive eh eh eh

[Squids]

Or ST2.1, TRackS and AmpliTube 1 & 2 all in a Studio Bundle here:

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=193 (AT2 shipped out to you later)

alright, i own AT1 (NOT eligible for free upgrade) and ST2L. for $429, i could get T-Racks, ST2.1XL (with XL and XL 2.1 sounds?), and AT1 again BUT with free upgrade to AT2 (when registered)?

Let's see: T-Racks alone = $319, ST2L to ST2.1XL upgrade = $279 (that includes extra XL sounds and 2.1 sounds?), and AT1 to AT2 upgrade $299. So thats = $897 if i did it all seperately.

is that right?

Yep. That would work. You could also pick up Miroslav Philharmonik for almost half price as well. Like I said, if you were ever going to buy these IK products this would be the best chance to get it for the lowest price. This all below cost in most cases. But, that's because stores are allowed to sell the upgrade/crossgrades. It's just a different "sku" as they call it. But, IK handles it all on the back end so the store doesn't have to do anything but sell more IK full AND crossgrade/upgrade products. Not all stores choose to stock the crossgrade/upgrades but that's their problem if they don't. They can at any time. www.esoundz.com stocks it all and heavily. We have a lot of IK users so practically all esoundz members qualify for any of these upgrade/crossgrade deals so we'll be sending out a newsletter this week to tell everyone the good news. This is by far IK's most aggressive promotion yet. It's a different approach. But, this is just for the holidays and to end the year with a bang!

The one thing I have to say out of all of this is that you guys should REALLY, REALLY consider if you do ANYTHING the two outstanding deals in this are Miroslav Philharmonik for the crossgrade price and AmpliTube 1 which qualifies for AmpliTube 2 as well. I mean, all of it is good if you don't have it (ST2.1, SS2, TRacks) but those two in particular are really incredible. Consider that previously the Miroslav library was close to $4,000 and this would be ten times less than that (or lower) and that AmpliTube 2 is $499 yet you can pick that up AND have AmpliTube 1 all for less than half price? Way below cost? 60% off? Eeeek! That's a steal. I am doing your shop thinking for you here. We obviously appreciate your business and I know a lot of you guys do "get it". But, given the situation I really hope for both our sakes that a lot of AmpliTube 1 and Miroslav Philharmonik crossgrade/upgrades are ordered. At least we can offer you the best deal you'll probably ever get on them!

That said, I dont' want to pretend that esoundz is the only place to get a great deal on them. Remember that this is world-wide and goes for ALL IK dealers that carry the upgrade/crossgrades.

[Squids]

wow, too bad I already got them all.

I wish to have this price strategy from other companies as well...

I think we may do something extra special for any esoundz customers who have purchased more than one IK product from us. Maybe a present for the holidays. A token of appreciation.

[Squids]

Squids,

Quick question...I've read (at least I think I have) that AT2 is going to use an iKey. If I get the upgrade to AT1 now, is my free AT2 upgrade going to be a boxed version with an iKey in the box?

Thanks,
Rob

I believe so! It would have to be. Or at least you'd have to have the key so... I think it is safe to say yes. Either way, if you buy it from esoundz we'll make it happen one way or another. Do our best.

[beergeek]

Squids, what will the final cost for the AT2 upgrade be for AT1 users who aren't eligable for the free AT2 upgrade? I'm wondering if I should buy a second AT1 licence and get the free upgrade. Will there be a special upgrade price for esoundz platinum members??

Well, your cost is going to be $5 less since I just pulled the trigger on AT1 and referred you

Looks to me like doing the crossgrade would be cheaper than an upgrade...

Just did ...as I said in another thread, I'd always prefer to buy through esoundz. You guys deserve everything you can get for the outstanding customer service.

[autodafe]

just one word (well..three) ...SQUIDS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

[Squids]

Please, we ask the people don't share publicly "their price"

sorry, I didn't know there were different prices based on your "level"...I edited my foirst post...please feel free to edit your quotes here...

The way esoundz works it that the more you buy the higher your customer level goes up which gets you more discounts. That's how it should be. If you went to a store and had a salesman who gave you better and better deals because he is loyal... that kind of thing. Then there's also the epointz for referals.

Has the AT1 to AT2 upgrade price been announced (for those of us that bought it long ago)? I remember a mention of $99 but haven't seen anything official.

I don't know but I believe it is $199. I could be wrong. Maybe $149. But it is not $99.

Yep. That would work.

hmm, some serious contemplating to do. thanks for the quick answer.

oh and for anyone else, i've only ever bought IK products from esoundz and with excellent service, customer appreciation, epointz, etc., it's really the only way to go.

The "All customers of AmpliTube 1 full or upgrade, AmpliTube 1 LE and AmpliTube Live are eligible for the upgrade to AmpliTube 2 at reduced prices." statement is the question mark right now. What exactly are reduced prices? We'll see I suppose.

I note that CM considered Miroslav's copy protection "over the top". They did give it a 9.

You don't have to wait and see actually. You know that if you buy AmpliTube 2 THIS way (by buying the AT1 or AT1 upgrade if you own any other IK product to qualify for it) then you automatically get AmpliTube 2 for FREE as well as the AmpliTube 1. So it doesn't get any more "reduced" than that! If you wait until January 1st to buy AT2 straight without getting AT1 first then it will cost a lot more.

These are supposed to be the things the shopper figures out on their own because I am talking about how to save money. Usually a store would rather you spend MORE money (as much as possible). But, we want you to get the best possible deal you can out of this. Then you'll be happy and maybe buy more anyway. I know I appreciate it when someone helps me get a better deal. So, that is what I try to do around here. Squidsaclause. That said, make no mistake, we do very well with the support we get from customers here and that keeps us going too. It is always a two way street and I don't want you to think otherwise. We're not a charity. We're just fair and cool about this sort of stuff that's all.

By the way, we've had a flood of crossgrade/upgrade orders already today and we thank you. It's obviously from KVR because we haven't even officially announced it on esoundz just yet (going to today) or sent out the newsletter. We also have a new group buy to announce. Hope you saved up some!
