August is almost over already

Hello everyone,

Well, it's the end of August already. I can't believe how fast this month seems to have gone by. It feels like it should still be June, instead of nearly September.

Regardless of how fast the year seems to be going by. It has been going really well for us here at Diamondback Battery. We are actually within just a few orders of setting a new record for sales today. This week is looking like its going to be our best week so far. With things really gearing up like this I'm looking towards the holiday season with a lot of excitement, and even a little dread.

Schools are getting back in session already, and with back to school upon us everyone is in full swing with their back to school specials. We are no exception. Starting August 19th (last Tuesday) and running until September 9th. we are offering 5 dollars off of all purchases over 30 dollars made through Google Checkout. So if you have already placed an order with us now would be a great time to pick up those batteries you didn't buy already, or the charger you decided you needed after you had ordered. Or even better, share the discount offer with a friend and help them to get a really good deal on some items for their camera or laptop.

Oh, and an update from the last post. We have the Acer and Gateway Equivalent 65W AC Adapter and the Acer and Gateway Equivalent 90W AC Adapter back in stock. With how fast they sold last time we have bulked up on them and shouldn't run into another problem with back orders again. So if you are needing one of those and have been hesitating to try and order one, they are available again.

Also, a quick item update. We now are carrying the Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Card as well as the Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card. They are both on the website ready to order. We will be continuing to expand our memory slowly, but there will be more available in the future so keep checking with us.

We also are going to be getting some new items very soon. The Sony NP-FH50, NP-FH70, and NP-FH100 I talked about in the last post should be here any day now. So expect to see them up on the store within the next week or two. Also we have five new items on their way to us. We just placed the order for them and it will be a few weeks before we get them in, but we have them on the way. Stay tuned with us and I'll let you know as soon as everything becomes available.

Well, that is more or less everything I have to talk about this week. As always, I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read this post, and I want to give extra special thanks to all of our customers. This company is a dream of ours and you are the ones who are making it come true for us. I am very happy to see us grow as fast as we have and I know that it is our customers who make that possible.

Thank you
Brian

Now that August is fully underway

Good morning and Good afternoon,

Well, it has been a bit of a roller coaster couple of weeks for us here at Diamondback Battery and Electronics. We had been having some trouble with our internet connection running a touch slow so we finally upgraded to a more reliable system. It seems to be working very well and should relieve the problems we have been having online.

Despite our slow connection however we have been doing phenomenal business. We have been receiving a lot of very high dollar orders. I think everyone is gearing up for the back to school rush with new laptop batteries and adapters, because they have been selling like hotcakes.

I am sad, but also a bit pleased to let you know that we have gone on backorder on two of our adapters. The Acer and Gateway Equivalent 65W AC Adapter and the Acer and Gateway Equivalent 90W AC Adapter. These two items have been selling so fast that we can't keep them on the shelves. I hate not having an item to send to our customers, but I also enjoy seeing them sell so fast. That tells us we have been doing our jobs very well.

Also, I would like to let everyone know about some new batteries we will be getting in. The Sony NP-FH50, NP-FH70, and NP-FH100. We have a shipment of them on the way to us now and are expecting them very soon. I will post them here in the blog the week we receive them. But keep your eyes on the website as they will go on the store as soon as they are available.

Well, that about wraps up this weeks post. I know it has been a very satisfying week for us here at Diamondback Battery, and I truly hope it has been for all of you as well. I wish everyone a fantastic weekend and we'll talk to you next week.

Thank you
Brian
