Missed the first hour madness?

Have no fear if you did – you can still snag a great deal this Holiday weekend. Package deals are still 50% off while supplies last, putting the SuperSac Cow Phur Package at $599 and the CitySac Cow Phur Package at$499. Cow Phur not your cup of tea? Ask one of our friendly sales reps about one of our other awesome limited edition packages for the SuperSac, or our super-rare Big One Package.

Looking for a better deal on something out of the package? Inquire about one of our Fluffed Floor Models – we have them in Super, Movie, and Gamer, not to mention several Sactional Set-Ups and Cover Sets for Sacs and Sactionals. Shoot us an e-mail or give us a call (414.774.5683) if you have a question!



The Last Day Before the Big Day

This is it: the last day that we as a store are open before the Best LoveSac Sale of the Year (AKA, Black Friday). I know, I know, it’s awful that we abandon you in your furniture-planning hour of need, but as one of the only days off granted to us in retail – and one laden with food, family, and friends at that – we don’t feel too guilty. What does our day off mean for you?

Make sure you know what you want and are comfortable with all sale details NOW. Not sure what we’re talking about? Scroll down a few posts and check out the Black Friday Sale Details. Still have questions? Give us a call at 414.774.5683, shoot us an e-mail at mayfair@lovesac.com, or leave us a comment on this blog. After 9pm tonight, we will not be in the store to answer our phone, but we will do our best to check the blog comments and the e-mail (although blog comments are your best bet). Still concerned? Get in line early on Friday – our staffers will be making periodic announcements and line checks to see if anyone is in dire need of having a question answered.

Make sure you have a back up plan. If something is out of stock, we do not (except for very, very rare occasions) promise to have it back in stock before Christmas. In the case of package deals – like the Cow Phur for Super and City Sacs – once they’re gone, they are 100% sold out and we will not have the option to order you more. If you have your heart set on one of those, come EARLY or have a plan for a different Sac/Cover combo that you won’t mind taking home instead.

Make sure your alarms are set. The best part of the deal takes place between 5am – 5:59am. Have an alarm set and get here early – lines start forming at the door of our store around 4am. Coming in from out of town? Check the Mayfair Mall website for directions. Once you’re in the mall, we’re upstairs towards Macy’s, directly across from the Movie Theater. Not an early riser? You can still snag a small deal later in the day, too! (But trust us – if you get up early, your suffering will not be in vain.)

See you then!



You know the sale. Now what?

You just heard about our awesome Black Friday sale – 30% off in the first hour we’re open! – and if you didn’t, you should probably scroll to the post beneath this one and check it out. Undoubtedly, you’re super psyched about the amazing discount you’re about to get (once you drag yourself out of bed and into line the morning after Thanksgiving). But what do you do in the meantime?

First and foremost, figure out what you want. The lines on Black Friday are notoriously long – last year, ours was the second largest in Mayfair and went all the way down to the Body Shop (three stores away, for those of you unfamiliar with Mayfair). Because of this, we try very hard to get customers in and out as quickly as possible – but we can only do that if you have an idea of what you are looking at before hand. There will be lovely staff members available to help you, but you need to have some idea of color and size if you want to be home before the last of the leftovers have been devoured.

How do you figure out what you want? Stop into the store! Give us a call (414.774.5683)! Those of you with telephonophobia, feel free to e-mail us or even leave us a comment on the blog. Keep in mind, however, we are closed on Thursday (to devour turkeys and tofurkeys of our own) so get in touch with us as soon as possible. You can even shop around on the website, but please keep in mind – LoveSac.com is generally about 25% more expensive than what you will pay in-store.

What do you do once you know what you want? Set your alarm. To get the best deals, you need to get up and get here during the first hour the mall is open – 5:00am – 5:59am – and we don’t want anyone oversleeping! Plan out your outfit for the big day, organize a balanced breakfast. Cooking for Thanksgiving? Toss together a quiche from the leftovers and heat it up Friday morning.

Good luck everybody – we’ll see you bright and early Friday!



INTRODUCING MADE IN AMERICA

Have you ever wondered what happens when you come into LoveSac, browse through the Pre-Made Cover Swatches and… find absolutely nothing that you want?

Have no fear! For those with particular, Colorful, Discerning, Fierce, or Brilliant tastes, we have four new swatch books, all of which comprise our brand new Made in America line of Custom Order Covers. The new books come with new materials: everything from Microsuede to Velvet and Chenille, and even our new Indoor-Outdoor covers (for those looking to take your Sactionals on an adventure in the Great Outdoors – or just your backyard).

Covers vary in price based on what material you are looking for, but with new colors, patterns, and textures, we guarantee you’ll love them no matter what. For those of you interested in custom covers, keep in mind that they take about 6 – 8 weeks to get in stock (though they ship directly to you, so a repeat visit to the store is not necessary for those of you dreading a drive).

Ready to be Brilliant? Colorful? Fierce? Discerning? Stop in and drool over the new books with us – you won’t be disappointed!

For those of you waiting on Black Friday Sales, we can offer this hint: Custom Covers are (unfortunately) never included in our sales. But that doesn’t mean you can’t score a great price on your insert when you order a cover! Stay tuned for full Black Friday details coming out on Monday.



Happy 10th Birthday LoveSac!

Does anyone remember back in the day when your MovieSac size was lovingly referred to as the Tonolove? (Some of you with really old covers might still see this displayed on the tag of your ancient microsuedes and corduroy covers!) Well, it being our 10th birthday and all, we have a Tonolove to give: namely to you, the people who have been supporting and loving us all these years. For this weekend only, if you purchase any MovieSac with full priced cover, receive $200 off the price of the insert! It’s a great deal and a great time to snag some extra seating for all that family coming into town for the holidays.

We look forward to seeing you in the store this weekend – and here’s to another 10 great years!

Corporate celebrates with cake!



Are You Ready for the Holidays?

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. It’s the first ‘big holiday’ of the season: after that, it’s a downhill sprint through December and onwards to the New Year. Aside from shopping for gifts galore, the holidays mean a lot of other things, too. The onset of winter can mean preparing for a comfy staycation, and the onset of the holidays might mean that you’re about to be bombarded by family, friends, and loved ones. Which leaves the question: are you prepared?

If you’re contemplating putting Grandma on an air mattress or your best friend from college on a couch, we at LoveSac say that you are NOT, as you may otherwise think, ready. How lame are those sleeping options?! Think instead about investing in a PillowSac – without the cover, it extends to the size of a Full Size bed (and can even use Full Size bed sheets!). Thinking Grandma won’t be able to get off of a Sac? Go for Sactionals – four bases pushed together are the same size as a Full Size bed (and LoveSac.com has a fantastic mattress topper to finish the look). Yeah, yeah, someone’s still on a couch if you want to get technical – but we guarantee it’s oodles more comfortable than that spring-ridden pull out you were about to use.

Lacking blankets? Thinking about dragging out that stained thing from the trunk of your car? Think again – it’s not too late to snatch up some clearance King Blankets (for $180) or Love Throws (for $79) in store. Want to really knock your guest’s socks off? Pick up The Bomb Pillow (a bed pillow made of a memory foam core with down and dream fiber fill) to ensure they get the best night’s rest. And when family is involved, a good night’s rest ups your chances of a drama free weekend by about 99%.

So, are you ready for the holidays? If not, stop in and stock up! We guarantee your guests will not leave your home disappointed.

 

Holding out ’til after the first Holiday to make your purchase? Black Friday Sale details will be released on Monday – STAY TUNED!



That’s so last season…

…isn’t always a bad thing! If you have been in our store recently, you might have noticed our Other Comfy Stuff (known fondly here as ‘OCS’) wall decked out in the Artichoke, Mink, and Black Croc Phurs that were so popular in past holiday seasons. While these colors won’t be sticking around the store for long, that’s a good thing for you pre-holiday shoppers.

While supplies last, you can score all of your favorite other Comfy Stuff for a mega-discount. Trust us, there is no better way to show someone you care than giving them something comfy! Snag a few pairs of slippers for when you get invited to those holiday parties and need a ‘just because’ gift. Grab some throw pillows for your son or daughter’s first apartment. Or even get a nice, big King Blanket for yourself. Get ’em while they’re still here – with these prices, they won’t last long!

Prices on the soon to be defunct OCS colors and styles are as follows:

King Blankets: $180 (marked down from $300!)

Love Throws: $75

Slippers: Buy one, get one half off (or one pair for $30)

Throw Pillows: 2 for $30 or 4 for $50

I Want Your Body Pillow: Buy the pillow for $150, get a Phur Case free!



Have you heard about 5 Series?

So, the unthinkable has happened. You walked into your favorite Mayfair Mall Retail Store (LoveSac, derr) with the mild-mannered intention of gently prodding one of the huge, squishy chairs that you can see from the door. (For the unversed, we call those ‘SuperSacs.’) But mid poke, you look over and see the most awesome couch you’ve ever seen. Upon further inquiry, you’re told that it’s called a ‘Sactional.’ It’s sold in separate pieces, Bases and Sides, and works like glorified adult Legos – they even have removable, washable, changeable covers.

But just as you start to fall in love with these amazing, totally functional, modular couches, you realize: even buying piece by piece, they’re just to big for your space. That’s where 5 Series comes in.

5 Series looks and works just like the typical Sactionals – called 6 Series – with two major exceptions. 5 Series are about 20% smaller all the way around (Bases measure 31″Wx26″Dx17″H while Sides measure 31″Wx5″Dx28″H) and they are also sold with covers right away. 5 Series don’t have the same selection of covers as 6 Series, but at any given time we have about three to choose from: Chocolate Velvish, which we have year round, and two rotating seasonal covers. Right now, those two are Black Leather and Bidness Grey Tweed.

Bases for Bidness Tweed and Chocolate are $300, while Sides for those covers are $150. In the Leather, 5 Series Bases are $350 while Sides are $175. Fear not: covers can still be removed, washed (in cases other than the leather), and changed to other styles, which can still be ordered from our custom books.

Thinking of filling a small space? Think no further than 5 Series!

New Holiday, New Look, New Throw Pillows

Ready to see the new Cigar Brown Leather for 6 Series Sactionals in person? Come check it out! And while you’re at it, take a peek at our brand new Holiday Throw Pillows. From Houndstooth to Red Striped and Plaid, the primarily down-filled line screams ‘cuddle with me and a glass of hot chocolate’ in the most sophisticated way possible.

We don’t normally say this at LoveSac (or in the Midwest in general), but with a set up this comfortable in your house: bring it on, snow. Bring. It. On.

If you love the plush new look of all of our holiday covers and pillows, make sure you stop in and stock up soon: they’re all super limited edition, so once we sell out, they’re gone for the rest of holidays. And trust us, it’ll be a very uncomfortable winter without them.

 

Thinking of trying to hold out ’til Black Friday with the hope your limited edition dream set is still in stock? Stay tuned to this space for details about the 2011 Black Friday Sale – only 14 Days left until the best LoveSac sale of the year!



Sometimes, Floor Model Dreams Really Do Come True

It’s rare, but it happens – sometimes, LoveSac Floor Models real DO go on sale. After changing our floor set to the brand new holiday products (have you stopped in to see them yet?!), we have several Sactional set-ups available for the Floor Model Discount of 25% off. That’s right – 25% off. And did we mention that these particular floor models are all in Custom Order Covers from our brand new Originals Swatchbook?

The set-up includes a LoveSeat Set-Up (2 bases/4 sides) in Camel Tweed, a Deep LoveSeat Set-Up (2 bases/4 sides – flip the bases to make it a standard wide LoveSeat!) with Champagne Velvet Bases and Camel Tweed Sides, and an Arm Chair Set-Up (1 base/3 sides) in Champagne Velvet with 5 Series Tufted Tweed Ottoman. You need not buy the entire set up at once, but arrangements must be bought as they are (for example, the LoveSeats must be sold in the 2 bases/4 side configuration).

It’s a great way to start a set up that you can add on to later! And those of you who are Sac shopping, we do have several fluffed inserts* hanging out in our stock room – those get a 15% discount, a savings that could help you in putting more money towards the cover of your dreams.

Curious? Have questions about the product? Feel free to give the store a call at 414.774.5683. And those of you who are still waiting on the epic, amazing, always worth-while Black Friday Sale: stay tuned – the sale generally isn’t released until the week leading up to Black Friday!

*While new Sacs come vacuum packed – meaning they fit just about anywhere – fluffed Sacs can be quite large. Plan ahead and bring the larger vehicle (preferably one where the seats fold down).
