Spring Sales?
Posted by Gemma@CastIronEffect on 29th Apr 2026
My guys in the office have been on to me that we should do a 'sale' as per the other companies offering the cast iron effect gutters. They say their inboxes have been inundated with special offers and deals.
So I had a really good look at all the prices on the comparable products.
And the answer is that we really do not need to do a 'sale'.
Even when the other companies are offering complicated discount schemes and free delivery incentives, we are still miles better value. Not only are we still a long way cheaper, we know our product gives the most authentic aesthetic, and all the same quality elements and standards.
So sorry, no special buys or weird multi buy deals coming your way, just consistently good value great products. The only way we can do this is by keeping our overheads super tight, so no pricey marketing companies or advertising runs, no designer packaging, no AI telephony systems. Just us doing our thing. Small company, high standards. Zero glitz and glamour.
