Christian Retail Offers for the week of Aug. 3 It's three months until best-selling Casting Crowns' fourth album arrives on shelves, but LifeWay Christian Stores is banking on strong interest in the release with its pre-buy email offer. The chain is making the CD, Until The Whole World Hears, available for $9.99 (regular retail price, $15.99) and throwing in two $5 savings cards, one valid through Nov. 20 and the other to be used between Nov. 30 and the end of the year. Family Christian Stores also promotes a Casting Crowns pre-buy at its Web site, where the chain lists a regular retail price of $13.99. Offering the new CD for a pre-release price of $11.97, the chain also says it will tithe 10% of the money to its James Fund Foundation, helping feed two children for a day. Mardel Christian & Education Supply's latest emailing promotes 50% off books, with Don Piper's best-selling 90 Minutes in Heaven reduced from $13.99 to $6.49 and the same pricing for Francis Chan's Crazy Love. The mailing also points shoppers to stores' Super Bargain Book Section where "up to 90% off already reduced prices" is available on titles by authors including Max Lucado, Beth Moore and Karen Kingsbury. |
