PRICE POLICY The planetFear retailing pricing policy for the website has always been to offer a 10% discount off RRP to registered users. Simply by purchasing something through the planetFear website you become a registered user by default. We are going to continue this policy in the shop with a 10% discount off almost everything as standard if you registered your details at the till? so you don?t need to belong to a club or have a discount card to get the best prices. KNOWLEDGEABLE RETAIL SALES TEAM We think it?s easy to underestimate just how much a knowledgeable, friendly and experienced shop team can improve your shopping experience. That?s why we only have active, regular climbers and adventure sports enthusiasts working in our shop. STAFF REVIEWS NEXT TO PRODUCTS You might have seen this in bookshops, where the staff write little notes next to the books they enjoyed? We are going to do the same thing and get staff comments and opinions on the kit they use next to the products. READ PRODUCT REVIEWS We?ll have a PC in the shop where customers can look up reviews of products from the planetFear website so you?ll be able to make the most informed decision before purchasing. ORDER PRODUCTS DIRECT FROM THE WAREHOUSE The planetFear website carries a vast range of stock and not all of it will fit into one shop! So, we?ll offer an ?Argos? style shopping experience allowing you to browse the website through the shop PC and select items you?d like to see or try – we will then get them from the warehouse (takes about 2 minutes!) ½ PRICE CAKES FROM CAFÉ EURO Next door to the new planetFear shop is Café Euro, an organic and fair-trade café using local produce. With every purchase from the planetFear shop you?ll get a voucher for a ½ price cake when you buy a coffee (or similar drink) from the café on the same day as your purchase. WINTER CLINICS We are going to hold regular clinics over the winter that will give free and expert advice from top climbers and adventure sports participants and manufacturers about getting the best from your kit and making informed purchasing decisions.
