XD - XDM REBATE - Free Magazines
« on: December 19, 2008, 07:14:12 AM »
I'm probably just rather slow to absorb this and am the last one on earth to know about it.  But just in case someone is behind me in hearing the news.

Springfield Armory is offering 2 (two) free magazines and a double mag pouch to anyone purchasing a new XD or XDM between 10/15/08 and 1/15/09!!   (that's in addition to the 2 mags and pouch that come with the gun in the first place!)

I'm bummed my retailer didn't tell me.

I may have to go purchase another one right after Christmas. (That's the whole point of the promo isn't it?)

Well I'm glad I helped someone else.   

I sent my rebate form in Friday, so I'm hoping to hear they received it today.

Thanks, Alf. I picked up a n XD .45 and the dealer knew absolutely nothing about the offer.  What he did know was how to out price the local competition.  ;D

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

This rebate is strange.   Dealers don't seem to know about it.  There was no signage at the dealer ship.  There's no "advertisement" that I can see about it.  Only on the XD forum did I accidentally come across it.

This is often times a directed marketing tool, used to reach specific customer groups.  In effect, paying (via value provided) the consumer to purchase the pistol.  Such schemes are seen annually, to clear factory inventory and generate sales.  The timing and reasons vary, but are driven by the need to stimulate sales.

Lesser known is the "bounty" that certain  manufacturers pay to store employees for each one of that companies pistols sold.  The motivation is to get you to buy THAT pistol, as opposed to what might be best for that customer.

Springfield has some clever folks in their marketing department, although Springfield Inc.'s motto "The Oldest Name In American Firearms" while technically true, is misleading since the company has no connection whatsoever with the original Springfield Armory in Springfield Massachusetts.

I think they bought the rights to the name when the Govt armory closed, possibly the equipment as well.
