Okay, I know Bastille Day is over, but our party isn’t!
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 17th, join us at our Northampton or Amherst stores, or at our website, Shop Essentials, for savings and fun!
Need the details? Our blog, La Motif has the Bastille Day Rules.
Here’s some of the fun you can expect:
ESSENTIALS’ FOURTH ANNUAL BASTILLE DAY CELEBRATION!
Join us on SATURDAY, JULY 17th
(Before you say it, yes, we know that’s not the actual day.)
20% Discount Storewide All Day and at ShopEssentials.net*
THE RULES (or Here’s how you can play along):
To save 25% on one item: Come to the store dressed as your favorite character from French literature, film, music, history, politics, etc.etc. You get the idea, right?
To save 30% on one item: Wear your Frenchie outfit, AND bring us a poem, written in French of course, about Essentials. An Ode if you will. It doesn’t have to be long–Haiku is fine. Poems will be collected, voted on by our faithful readers, and the winner of our best poem contest will be awarded an Essentials’ gift certificate. (Can’t make it to the store on Bastille Day? You can still send us a poem either via email or via our Essentials Facebook page.
To save 35% on one item: Wear your Frenchie outfit, bring us a poem, AND bring us a French treat of your choosing. (Colette prefers a nice Torte.) No, it doesn’t have to be homemade, or even large. French candy perhaps? Or a croissant?
To save 40% on one item: Wear your Frenchie outfit, bring us a poem, bribe us with treats, AND RECITE or ACT OUT, at least 3 lines from your favorite French film. Goddard anyone? You pick the film and do the acting, you get the additional discount.
When you get the store, there will be more ways to play! We’ll have our in-store quiz (brush up on your French facts!) and of course, a chance to get your photo taken under the Eiffel Tower. Oh la la!
(* Sale items and special orders are excluded from sale. )
And of course, Thanks for Playing!
