Nobody likes puny discounts
November 12th, 2008 posted by: Suz
So, waking up this morning with the snow falling, we got really excited about the opening day being only 2 weeks away. But then when we went to change the discount code to 14% off, we realized that 14% is not very exciting. So, to match our excitement for the fluffy whiteness that is raining down outside, we decided to ramp up the discount to 25% and leave it there until the mountain opens. So, check it out at http://www.shop.akinz.com and use the discount code GIVEMESNOW to save on any order.
Slice ‘n Dice t-shirts are now up for sale and keep checking back to see some winter hats hit the racks soon!

Counting down to opening day with discounts!
October 21st, 2008 posted by: Suz
So, I know the lifts are already turning at a few choice resorts, but here in Steamboat where we’re located, we’re 35 days away from opening day. Since I know everyone is getting a little ancy, there’s a little reward from us to keep you going. For each day, however many days are left til opening, that’s the discount you’ll get. So, 35 days til opening today, you get 35% off any order at www.akinz.com.
That’s right, any t-shirt, hat, headband, necklace, whatever you want! But, hurry! Cause tomorrow there will only be 34 days til opening. hee hee :) Just use the discount code GIVEMESNOW at checkout and enjoy the savings! Soon we’ll all be shredding!
Here’s the photo of the day from Steamboat’s website just to get you excited!

International Analytics and shipping
October 11th, 2008 posted by: Suz
So, we recently started using Google Analytics to try and figure out who looks at our site and why and where they come from. Anyway, a little feature I just stumbled upon is the visitor map which I instantly spent about 10 minutes playing with. Apparently we have had visitors from 19 different countries, including 4 visitors from Moldova and I’m not even sure where that is.
After figuring that out, I thought now might be a good time to answer a question I get asked a lot, Do you ship internationally? YES! We do ship internationally and have our checkout system set up for about 9 different countries. If you are shopping from Moldova, for instance, and don’t find your country on the list but you want to buy something, just shoot me an email and I’ll set it up.
Akinz is currently set up to ship our t-shirts, hats, and jewelry to:
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Norway, United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany, and Sweden
Plus, I just added Moldova… just for fun.

The new website is finally up, and not in shambles or incomplete links. If you came while we were in the process of ironing out the kinks, I apologize! We are very excited for our new format though. It offers a streamlined shopping cart so that you can easily browse all of our graphic t-shirts and hats!
