Red Sox Win World Series - Free Furniture!
BOSTONAA-Thousands of Boston Red Sox fans are sitting pretty.That’s because back in March they took advantage of a local furniture store’s promotional offer for full rebates if the Red Sox win the World Series.
Jordan’s Furniture promised free sofas, chairs and beds to customers who bought between March 7 and April 16th, if the Red Sox win the title.
With the Red Sox holding a 3-0 Series lead over the Colorado Rockies, callers to Jordan’s were being directed to its Web site for information on applying for rebates.
Jordan’s took about 30,000 orders during the promotion.
Chief executive Eliot Tatelman hasn’t disclosed how much the rebates would be, but he won’t have to pay it all. He bought an insurance policy to cover losses if the team wins. [via]
Now, we wish we could show you the video of the Jordan’s Furniture dude (Elliot) being sprayed with champagne, which was the overdone and completely ridiculous commercial that aired after the game but unfortunately it’s not on YouTube yet, and furthermore, the mnp shogunate was on another all night Sox binge.AA We’ll show it to you sometime soon though.AA For all of you who bought free furniture, damn you! Congrats to the hometown heroes.AA Despite our best attempt to not be a baseball blog, we’ve failed.AA Things should slowly get back to normal around here.
I know some of you Boston people have to be thinkin’ that Bob’s discount furniture coulda at least have tried to cash in a little Red Sox mania themselves.AA Looks like we can all look forward to more of these commercials:
