[Merged] Apple Black Friday - for Canada

[spotts01]

I got this email from Apple Canada. We have an employee purchase program with apple that usually gets 6% off of AppleCda prices.

Point being, it looks like Apple will have a Black Friday sale for Canadians as well.

Here's what I got:



Lots of gifts. 1 day not to miss.


Mark your calendar for November 28th to visit your EPP online store and get ready to save!


Once again, Apple is having a one-day only sale the day after Thanksgiving--Black Friday! It's the single most popular shopping day of the year and several Apple and third-party products will be specially priced for one day only. As EPP partners, you will qualify for the sale prices in addition to the EPP discount. That's a double saving!


Visit your EPP online store Friday, November 28th to see what products will be on sale. Remember you can also pass your savings to your friends and family.


Attached are the PDFs to help you communicate the news!

so won't this sale be exclusive for the employees?
especially if you removed the actual link?

I'm not really seeing a deal here, unless you're part of the EPP program. Extremely misleading title.

There's a ton of blue-chip Canadian companies that are a part of an Apple EPP. i.e. Accenture, Royal Bank, Telus, etc...

so won't this sale be exclusive for the employees?

To clarify, this is an upcoming sale for any company which participates in Apple's EPP program. No details are given in the PDF (which the op removed the link to) - all it says is that there's a sale coming next Friday. It does not list the amount of discounts to expect, but realistically I don't think it will be anything crazy like iPods at 50% off :P

it will probably be similar to the education discounts is my guess.

I am sure you can figure a lot more of them.

It probably won't be too hot considering the Apple Store prices are 10% more than FS/BB (iPod Touch)

EDIT: yeah, $309 for the 16GB Touch, FS/BB is $299...

Apple has a BLACK FRIDAY sale on their Canadian site every year...and it has always been avail to the general public.

They never post on the public site until the day of...

[Laserheart]

Futureshop has a sale this weekend, with $100 off all Apple computers. This will probably be a better deal than anything Apple does.

[kashirat]

The rumors are that the discounts they will be offering this black friday are bigger than normal... because of the economic situation in the states right now. We'll see next week whether it's true or not.

With Black Friday sale information from rival PC vendors beginning to leak online, experts at Barclays Capital say they expect Apple to counter the promotions with a more aggressive than usual one-day sale, offering deep discounts on a number of Mac models.

Seems that the EPP is a bit cheaper than the educator plan

EG:

Macbook 2.0 $1399.00

EPP $1315.00

Educator $1349.00



I wonder how long Apple is going to hold Canadian prices at this level with the current exchange rate..

[scotty01]

Yeah I just checked for the 8GB Nano and it's only $10.00 cheaper for the EPP than the regular price! LOL
