The Billings 3 “Give Main Street a Break” Sale

October 8, 2008 on 10:22 pm | AJ

Everywhere I turn, I hear about big banks and Wall Street being bailed out by the Fed a few $Billion at a time. I keep asking myself – what about the little guy like you and I on Main Street?

I mean we work hard and we didn’t get involved in shady mortgage/derivatives stuff, so why do those fat cats get the bailouts?

We figured we can help Main Street 20 bucks at a time. A pittance in comparison but much sweeter in my opinion.

So until Nov 30th, Billings can be had for US $39.95 instead of $59.95 and the upgrade can be had for US $25 instead of $35.

We’ve also reduced our prices in the U.K., Canada (obviously), Europe and Australia taking in to account the Oct 6th exchange rates and a bit of rounding.

If you purchased or upgraded to Billings 3 at the pre-sale price, email us with your proof of purchase at info [at] marketcircle. We’ll send you a voucher for the difference, redeemable for anything else in our store.

I don’t fully understand the inter-link between the banks in Europe and the U.S., but I’m super happy that no Canadian banks have needed bailing out. It helps ease the nerves. This is especially impressive considering that Canada is still the U.S.’s largest trading partner. Canada will also outperform the G7 in terms of GDP growth in 2009.

In these uncertain economic times, it is imperative that you put your best foot forward with professional invoices and timely statements (using the instant overdue awareness feature in Billings 3).

Until next time…

    Excellent news. As a Billings user, it’s nice to see it being given more attention, first with the update and now a generous price-drop. Keep up the good work :)

    Great news, thanks! I’ve just upgraded to Billings3.

    That’s awesome! We’re currently working on a review of Billings 3, and will be sure to mention the updated price until Nov. 30

  4. Ubdub says:

    Can I just ask, since there isn’t really much in the store available for $20, can I keep my voucher and use it for future upgrades, or is it time limited?

  5. Tim says:

    This is so very generous. Just wondering how we might find your email address?

    Hi. I’d buy it in an instant if there was an automatic way of getting all my current data out of *Billable* and into *Billings*. It’s important that my billing software contains a complete record of all invoices/payments and I’m not at all keen on re-entering two years worth of data… damn software lock-in.

    Any ideas?

  9. Vincent Toms says:

    I just bought billings and I see this today? So can I get this discount?

    Thanks guys! Bought the upgrade today :-)

    Huge improvement.

  11. Marius says:

    The sale is a great idea. But why didn’t you answer the e-mail with which I was asking for the voucher?

  12. AJ says:

    Yesterday was Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada, so we are little backlogged today. You should get an email in the next day or so.

  13. Marius says:

    One week later… I still didn’t get the email.

  14. Dennis says:

    Awesome, thanks! Placing the order as we speak! Thanks for a great product!

  15. Paul says:

    Sent my proof of purchase a week ago and again yesterday. Still haven’t received my voucher. Also will the voucher be redeemable against future upgrades of Billings?

  16. AJ says:

    @Paul – Nelly should have contacted you by now. Sorry for the delay.

  17. Harry Anderson says:

    I just bought Billings for $59.95 less than a month ago. Can I get a voucher? Also a Daylite customer.

    Kind regards,
    Harry Anderson

  18. AJ says:

    @harry – send email to info [at] marketcircle. They will provide you with a voucher.

  19. Deborah says:

    I have just purchased billings3, excited at the discount…however, the exchange rate you offer is pretty poor!
    Can you explain why we are not allowed to select our currency we wish to pay in and let paypal offer the rate, instead of a rate set by marketcircle that doesnt reflect current changes.
    It says I have paid US 47.54 and VAT of US 8.32
    So if I have paid US 47.54 for Billings3 that is not the sale price of US 39.99 is it..tell me if I am missing something here?

  20. Aly Daya says:

    Hi Deborah,

    I understand the confusion..

    We set our prices based on the various world markets. Since we are in the retail stores in UK, Europe US and Australia, we need to maintain a consistent price. Hopefully this explains the difference.

    Thanks.

    TIMES UP!

    Actually – it’s been doing so well and considering the economic situation (no clear reprieve yet), we are going to extend it. We’ll make a post about the extension.
