New August 1, Promotion

I have some GREAT NEWS, Viking has a new promotion that will be startingAugust 1, 2017.  This is in addition to the two Viking promotions going on right now.

WE’LL DO THE DISHES EVENT

AUGUST 1, 2017 TO MARCH 31, 2018

Here’s how it will work – the consumer can buy any 5 or 7-series Range* or an 84″H Built-in Refrigerator at the published UMRP and earn a FREE VDW302SS or FDW302 300 Series dishwasher – up to a $1,579 Value at MSRP This will be treated as an Instant rebate, taken at the time of sale.  The only upgrade options will be for a colored Dishwasher Panel or MDDP242SS Virtuoso door panel.  This program goes into effect August 1, 2017 and will run through March 31, 2018.  *In lieu of a range, customer can purchase a 5, 6 or 7 series cooktop or range top PLUS a 5, 6 or 7 series oven.

All eligible models are listed on the back of the form (see attached).  PLEASE NOTE:  Our 10 AFTER 10 CONSUMER MAIL-IN REBATE is still in effect.  Customers will be allowed to take advantage of both programs, if they file the proper paperwork (i.e. a copy of the sales receipt).

So, not only can a consumer earn a free Dishwasher, they can possibly receive an extra 10% after $10,000 depending on the total purchase value of their order!

While the Refresh Your Range consumer rebate is going on until August 31, 2017, the consumer can get a free dishwasher and a consumer rebate on the range.

BlueStar Now Offers an extremely High Powered Induction 36in cooktop for $2499 to the customer

I hope everyone is doing well. We now have a brand new product to get excited about. BlueStar is offering a 36in induction cooktop. Staying with our theme of power and quality to the best of my knowledge we are offering the highest power on a single burner in the industry at 5,500 watts without having to share power from other burners to achieve that level. We also have available a cast iron dual zone griddle/grill accessory that I saw work live and it’s pretty amazing how well it works on an induction system.

 

This will ship in August for those looking to add displays or if you have an interest in getting one for a client. The knobs can be ordered in colors and or with our trim metal kits just like our other products which adds some flair to the piece. This currently is available in a 36in only size and from what I am being told the price is killer at $2499 UMRP.

 

Model Description UMRP

BSP36INDCKT 36” Induction Cootkop    $2,499

 

KNOB OPTIONS:

PAINT-STD RAL KNOB Standard 190 RAL Colors    $80

 

TRIM OPTIONS: (Includes plated bezels)

PLATED – CKTP36

Brass, Copper, Chrome, Ant. Brass, Brushed

Brass, Ant. Copper, Brushed Copper, Oil

Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel & Pewter     $635

 

ACCESSORIES

701120 Dual Zone Cast Iron Griddle      $179

 

If you have the space to move out an older cooktop in a run I believe this 36in induction unit will gain some industry from clients. Just let me know if you want it for display and we will get you all set.
