Timber Rattlers: A New Kind of Rattle

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Baseball will always be America’s pastime and we’re very lucky to have in Northeast Wisconsin the Minor League Brewers Affiliate- Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. The Timber Rattlers have been gaining a lot of press lately, especially with the new deals on RTownShopper.com. For the last month, RTownShopper has been promoting Timber Rattlers tickets, giving fans a good reason to buy them at 50% off.

Catch the game on Monday, August 2nd at Fox Cities Stadium. First pitch is at 7:05PM. These tickets are available at 50% off on RTownShopper. And just to make the night even sweeter, there’s a mouse pad giveaway.

Back in May 2010, the T-Rats traveled to Miller Park in Milwaukee for a big game against the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Don’t know any of the players? Get to know your main guys here. In the video, many of the players are genuinely excited waiting for the game to start. Right handed pitcher, Chad Robinson even tells us that his first impression of Miller Park is that he feels like a little kid again! The Timber Rattlers normally play on their home turf at the Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Bringing a big family or group to a baseball game isn’t always easy and it definitely isn’t cheap. But when you buy tickets on RTownShopper, you get to take the crew for half the price. Make a Timber Rattlers game the perfect summer outing with help from RTownShopper!

Our customers are priority and we’re very fortunate to be able to provide you with so many savings opportunities. But RTownShopper.com is about more than saving money. It’s also about bringing people together: new customers into businesses, treating the family to a round of mini-golf, or taking your loved-one out for a special evening.  For you gentlemen out there, we’ve come up with a creative way for you to use RTownShopper to plan an entire weekend getaway with your sweetheart, fit to end with a proposal.

First, make sure everything is covered; you’ve asked her father’s permission for her hand in marriage, you’ve planned out the romantic getaway, the car is packed, and you’ve arranged for Lovin’ Pets to take care of your pooch while you’re away.lthumb_d6910a9f-147e-cd1a-fd53-4bccb2a05601

The first activity for this special weekend is Serenity Day Spa and Salon where you’ll both relax with a one-hour massage, facial, sugar scrub, and rain forest shower.

After she feels rejuvenated, take her to get her hair professionally done at Royal Hair Designs, because you know she’ll want to look nice for your next activity. Next stop is to visit photographer Debbie Daanen to ensure this day is remembered forever.

Finally, it’s time to check into your room at Sybaris, the perfect romantic getaway spot. lthumb_ab460e74-470c-0b2a-c285-4ba0d3fe09eeWaiting in the room is a gorgeous arrangement of flowers from Belle Fiori.lthumb_9138d58b-1eea-f3b3-b313-4b0330d85db3

Dinner reservations are at 8 so you both rush to get ready for dinner at Millhome Supper Club where their mission is to “give you a dining experience that is second to none…”

After dinner, she may find it strange that she’s all dressed up for the night of bowling you’ve planned at the 10th Frame, but she goes along with it. 1064bowling_ballAs she gets ready to bowl and puts her fingers in the appropriate holes, a ring slips onto her finger.

The RTownShopper Way

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

A phrase we live by at RTownShopper.com is “Everything in moderation.” It seems to hold true for the businesses we work with as well as the consumers that shop on our site. At RTownShopper.com, “Everything in moderation” serves a dual purpose:

  1. To give you, (our customers) more discount gift certificates to choose from.
  2. To allow the businesses who participate on our site the opportunity to moderate the extreme discounts used to garner new customers.

When researching other discount certificate sites, we found that featuring one discount certificate a day created many problems for the business as well as the consumer. Imagine yourself as the owner of a nail salon and you employ 2 other estheticians. To drum up some business, you decide to sign up with a company that features your services, a manicure/pedicure on their site for $30 – normally priced at $60. Your company is the only feature for 24 hours.  Within 24 hours, 2,000 people buy a discount gift certificate to your salon. That same day, one of your two employees has to cancel her afternoon appointments just to answer the phone. Nine hundred people call phone-illustration-ringing-off-the-hookthat afternoon, many complaining that the line was busy for hours. You now find yourself overbooked and understaffed with half of your profit from the 2,000 certificates sold going to the service you used to promote this discount.

stressed-woman-300x199

Over the next few weeks, customers complain because the service they receive is lacking. Your employees are overbooked and rushed which leads to an unfavorable costumer experience. Within a month, you have collected most of the discount gift certificates and business is starting to slow down. One of your employees comes across your Yelp.com reviews and there are over 150 from the past month, most of them unfavorable because of the rushed services your employees had to provide.

At RTownShopper.com, we want to give businesses more than just 15 minutes of fame. Most small businesses do not have the capacity to handle a major increase of customers in a short period of time. If that is the case, it will reflect negatively on your business and sour the experience for the customer. We want your customers to be happy and that’s why we offer many different discount gift certificates everyday on our site!
