Christian retail stores are offering promotions and deals for Father's Day—Sunday, June 16—some inexpensive and some pricey. LifeWay Christian Stores' Father's Day Sale is spotlighting "hand-autographed duck calls" by Duck Commander founder and Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for $199.99, which includes free shipping via the LifeWay website. Additionally, the chain is offering $14.95 for the Courageous DVD (Sherwood Pictures/Provident Distribution); $5 for the Reggie's Prayer DVD (Bridgestone Multimedia Group); $7.99 for MercyMe's The Hurt & the Healer (INO Records/Provident Distribution); and $5 for Thousand Foot Krutch's The End Is Where We Begin (Tooth & Nail Records/Capitol Christian Distribution). Berean Christian Stores' $5/50% Summer Sale is promoting $5 or 50% off various products in every department, including $5 for William P. Young's The Shack (Windblown Media/Hachette Book Group); $12.49 for a large print deluxe edition of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling (Thomas Nelson); $5 for a Christian Art Gifts travel mug; and $17.49 for Joyce Meyer's The Everyday Life Bible by (FaithWords). Berean Director of Marketing Denise Chaney said that the Cincinnati-based chain's June catalog would be distributed to its 17 outlets, highlighting Father's Day specials. "We have at least five Father's Day-specific, endcap promotions for Father's Day in the stores, and we will be sending out email blasts that coincide with these promotions," she said. "While not the strongest shopping season of the year, we believe our vendor partners have strong offerings for dads that will encourage, uplift and be a blessing to any father." Mardel Christian & Education is running a Father's Day Gifts Sale, including these deals: $2.99 for a P. Graham Dunn dad dog tag/keychain; $8 for an Abbey Press Serve the Lord tire clock; and $11.99 for a Cathedral Art money clip, featuring Jer. 29:11. |
