It’s Time for the Holidays in America…Land of the Free…Shipping!

Hello, readers of the AirCut blog! I hope your Thanksgiving was happy and healthy and that everyone who felt compelled to deep fry their turkey in a homemade incendiary containment unit survived with limbs and eyebrows intact. For the rest of us who cooked our turkey the old-fashioned way (in the microwave), I hope your turkey was as wonderful as mine.

GREAT NEWS!
We have sold nearly 100 AirCut home haircutting systems in 3 months and we now have over 100 affiliates pounding the pavement for us every day to help us sell even more. There’s also a rumor that you will be seeing the AirCut on popular shopping channels on television soon, as well. WOO HOO!

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
This is all great news for us, but how about some good news for you? Done. Owner Norm and I have decided this morning to offer FREE SHIPPING FOR ALL OF DECEMBER! There is no limit, so order as many as you want and we’ll ship them to your doorstep for the low price of free. What better way to get someone a great gift, save money, and best of all, you didn’t even have to leave the house! It’s Cyber Monday all December long at Aircut!

YOU’RE STILL NOT CONVINCED?
Ok, fair enough. Listen up, here’s what you do: Visit our website http://www.aircut.com (mention my name and they’ll let you in free) and enter your name to win a free AirCut home haircutting system. You will be automatically be eligible to get a free AirCut every Friday in December, and your odds are better than any lottery in the country. Then, buy a couple AirCuts for family and friends at our discounted rate AND get free shipping! Then when you win yours, you can get the family together you will have a great AirCut haircut. When the family asks where you got your great cut, you can tell them and…guess what? You got them one for Christmas. You will be the talk of the holiday, even with the mother-in-law who stares daggers at you every year. How can you go wrong?

The Easiest Way to Get $10…or $20…or $30…or…

This morning, owner Norm Yerke and I paged through all of the orders we have received for AirCuts since we went live in August. We started thinking about what we could do to thank people who have placed orders in the past and those who will place orders in the future. We think we came up with a great plan: We are offering a $10 referral bonus to current AirCut customers on every AirCut sale they send our way. Direct from Norm:

“THANK YOU TO THE ‘EXCLUSIVE AIRCUT CLUB’ (You can only be a member as an owner of an AirCut). To show my thanks to all of you loyal people, I want to offer you a $10 ‘bounty’! For every AirCut purchased by your friends, associates, relatives etc; I will send you a check for $10. All you have to do is; when you know someone you told about the AirCut has purchased one; just send me an email giving me the person’s name. It’s as easy as that…I will send you a check for EVERY friend of yours who buys this wonderful product.”

You can’t lose! If you buy an AirCut at the holiday special price of $99.95 and you refer 10 friends or family to buy one (let’s face it, you’re going to spend a lot of time with family in the next month, may as well make some money out of it:) ) your AirCut has paid for itself! Then, all you have to do is kick back while your AirCut saves you money at the barber, saves you time on haircuts, etc…

The holiday season is about giving. We believe in giving and helping you look better for the holidays. Avoid the crowds and go to http://www.aircut.com and get your shopping done. Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving from all of us at AirCut!

Is There Such a Thing as a Good Monday?

I remember when I used to dread going to work. I liked my job and got along with my boss, but it seemed like when I got around to Monday morning there was always that feeling like I needed another day of the weekend. Of course, it’s human nature that if no one had to work on Monday, we’d all feel like that on Tuesday. Heh.

So when I came into work here at AirCut this morning, a job I LOVE (no, I don’t just say that because my boss reads my blog) I still felt that Monday feeling just the same. However, bringing up my emails revealed new Facebook friends, quality Twitter followers, pictures and videos from our Marquette University event last week, and most importantly, new AirCut orders! I started thinking that this Monday would be a good one. As an added bonus, we received a great review from a mommy blogger who received our product and loved it! Read her review here: http://www.amomwholovesreviews.com/2009/11/aircut-home-hair-cutting-is-a-breeze/ 

Everyone enjoy your Thanksgiving and, as a treat, I’d like to share links to my two favorite things about Thanksgiving…

New Kiosk at Brookfield Square and a Lunch at Marquette U!

The AirCut site has been live for a couple of months and we are pleased at the amount of visitors to the site, this blog, and our videos on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/aircutdotcom). We continue to speak to people in emails, by phone, and in person about our product, but we aren’t always able to perfectly show them that our product works and works well. They think it’s just for “buzz cuts” or for really short hair, but did you know you can cut hair that’s up to 4 inches long with the AirCut?

There’s a lot you can learn  by watching our videos on YouTube or on the website, but how about getting up close and personal with our product? We’d like to give you that chance. We are starting with our home state of Wisconsin and have launched a kiosk at Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield for the Christmas season. Our kiosk is located smack dab in the middle of the mall outside of JC Penney’s and right next to Santa Claus! Rumor has it that after Christmas, Santa is stopping by for a trim before heading out to Florida to relax for a year. If you happen to find yourself at Brookfield Square between now and the end of the year, stop by and say hi to our main kiosk guy Michael or one of our other fine staff members out there working hard. Michael served in Iraq, so insane Christmas shoppers are relaxing for him!

AirCut will also be taking over the Marquette University campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Thursday and Friday for FREE haircuts by Aircut!
When: Thursday, Nov. 19, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and Friday, Nov. 20, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: Alumni Memorial Union, Marquette University
If you are a Maruette student, or just curious to get your hands on our product, be sure and check it out! In the mean time, don’t forget to enter for a chance to win a free AirCut at http://www.aircut.com! We are doing drawings once a week, so you have  a great chance to WIN FREE HAIRCUTS FOR LIFE!!

AirCut Makes Gift giving a Breeze!

One of the best things in life is to help people. It seems like the best stories on the news don’t have anything to do with celebrities behaving badly, wars in foreign countries, or global warming. The best stories in the news these days are stories of people helping others. Any time I read a story of someone receiving a great gift from a generous person, it always makes me believe that there is still a lot of good in this world.

But enough warm and fuzzy! How about a way that you can get a gift for someone for very little money, or even free?? How about a way you can get your gift buying done without having to club someone in the head with a recyclable bag full of Black Friday loot? Would you like to know how? Right now you’re thinking “yeah Russ, we know, buy an AirCut”. But listen! Now, what if I told you that you could WIN an AirCut without having to BUY one. Now you’re interested! Simply go to our website at http://www.aircut.com and enter your name and email address (which we promise not to spam or sell) and that’s it! Once we are up to 20 entries, we will start giving one away every Friday afternoon until Christmas!

Winning an AirCut is only one of THREE ways to get yours. You can also just straight-up buy one from our website http://www.aircut.com or, if you live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area you can visit Brookfield Square Mall November 23rd through Christmas and get your AirCut from our awesome kiosk!

Great Testimonal Received This Morning

People have begun to get the AirCut in their hands as we are shipping out our initial run, and the response has been very positive! We are dedicated to making people look better one haircut at a time, and as corny as it sounds, we love making people happy. I wanted to share one of our most recent testimonials with you:

“My mother (Rosemary) purchased an Aircut from you recently. I just cut my hair with it. It’s a very nice product. I’ve been a registered barber stylist since 1981.(I haven’t barbered since 2002) Whenever I go the barber now they always cut my hair too short. With the Aircut I got it exactly the way I wanted it. The Aircut gives an even precision professional looking cut. Thanks for such a nice product and very best wishes to you.”  -Billy D., Columbus, Ohio (Retired Barber)

Thanks to Billy for writing in and we hope you are a satisfied customer for years to come. Have you had an AirCut haircut yet?

New Poll: Do you buy Presents from Mall Kiosks?

We’re always suckers for the kiosks, but do we always need another car calendar, board game, or pair of sunglasses to lose? Businesses use them, so they must be working for somebody. Christmas would seem to be the best time to visit these areas to me (maybe because I’m a guy and it keeps me from getting sucked into a store:) ) and, next to the internet, seems like the lowest-stress way to find that one last gift for someone. What about you?

Unintended But Effective Use of Aircut #1: Removes Pet Hair

Russ here for AirCut. Since I have had my AirCut in my apartment and around the office (and since I am a HUGE gadget geek) I’ve come up with a few things that the AirCut does that we don’t readily advertise. Note that I am NOT suggesting that you try ANY of these, but if you are so inclined, have a ball. Just remember: you break it, you buy it. At least that what Norm (my boss) keeps telling me.:)

Unintended But Effective Use of AirCut #1 (Hereafter called “UBE-UA”, pronounced “yoo-bee yoo-ah”): The other day when I was using my AirCut to trim up some parts of my hair, I was also using my trimmers to square off my sideburns. Afterwards, I turned the AirCut to vacuum only, stopping the blades, and began vacuuming up the rest of the hair that my sideburn trimmer left behind. Now, being a cat owner, I have residual cat hair on EVERYTHING, including my clothes. So as I vacuumed up the hair, I realized that it was removing the hair from my clothes as well! Eureka! I thought. I vacuumed the rest of the cat hair off and then went after the couch…voila! It worked great! I still had to empty the hair, but the AirCut worked great on my couch, clothes, chairs, ottoman, and whatever else I could find (note: cat was not amused when I tried it on him…big baby).

So there you go: Check out AirCut online at http://www.aircut.com and get your own AirCut. Then, you can use the AirCut to trim your hair, your kid’s hair, and remove pet hair from of your clothes and furniture, just not on your cat.

Who Wouldn’t Want to Save $960?

Russ here again blogging for AirCut. I was running the savings to the average person and the average family over the course of one year by using the AirCut and I found some interesting results. I have attached a chart below which shows what I’m talking about in a nutshell. Say you are a mom, and you take your son to the barber or stylist one each month. You normally pay about $12 +$3 tip=$15,  plus you burn $5 in gas to and from the barber or stylist. So that’s $20 per cut, per month for your son, or about $240 per year. If you have two sons, it’s twice that and so on. Also consider that your husband also visits the barber or stylist once per month. You guessed it, another $240.

So why wouldn’t you want to save money? If you are married and have three boys, you’ve got 4 members of the family that could use the AirCut. It takes just minutes, is mess-free, and saves you $80 per month, or $960 per year! What would you do with an extra $80 per month? Even if you are a single guy living on your own and cut your own hair, you are saving $20 per month that you could be spending on a sports package for your cable, a big-screen TV, an inflatable chair, or whatever else it is you like to spend your money on.

The bottom line is this: The AirCut is Christmas priced through the end of the year for $99.95. Check out the chart below, by the time the snow thaws, it has paid for itself! We also have discounts for students and military members. This product works, it’s easy to use and hard to make a mistake, and will save you money. That’s all there is to it.

Save hundreds of Dollars in haircuts in a matter of months with the AirCut!
