Recession Busters Newsletter - May Edition |
WELCOME TO THE NEW MAY EDITION OF OUR ONLINE
NEWSLETTER
|

Jeff Baxter

Recession Busters |
Hi everyone ! It’s Jeff from Poolandspa.com with our
brand new, freshly re-designed, May Online Newsletter!
May is Recession Busters
Month at Poolandspa.com ! All of our prices have been
tremendously slashed - most are a full 50% off retail.
Although your home may be worth next to nothing, gas is almost $4.00
a gallon, and all you got in the mail was a lousy $300 tax
rebate check - if you are reading
this - you most likely are lucky enough to have a pool or spa. Many consumers are reporting to us that they have had to
cut out vacations, new cars and many other big ticket purchases for
this year, so they are staying home and enjoying the pleasures of
their own backyard paradise instead.
At Poolandspa.com we have all the
chemicals, parts and accessories you will need to get that pool or
spa in shape for this year's summer season. And to help with
people's tighter budgets, we have reduced all our prices to near
wholesale levels. Read this month's Online Newsletter below
for selected specials, products and news.And, if you ever need some advice,
feel free to give us a call anytime (800-876-7647). We are there to help.
We look forward to serving all your pool and spa needs during the
2008 season. Remember, if you ever wish to stop receiving the email version of our
Newsletter, simply email to
remove@poolandspa.com. Best wishes to all our valued customers and web site visitors!
Happy swimming & tubbing ;o)

POOLANDSPA.COM ANNOUNCES NEW LOWER
PRICES
|
 |
Just in time for the 2008 swimming and tubbing
season, we have been busy negotiating the absolute lowest prices with all
of our suppliers. We have been very busy over the winter
totally renovating our web site and adding thousands of new
products and parts. But we realize that is not enough,
so we have lowered all of our prices. Most
prices are a full 50% off what you would pay in retail
stores and as always, we have the lowest price guarantee
amongst other internet retailers on all the items we sell. So if you are getting your supplies from anyplace other than
Poolandspa.com, you are paying too much!
Here is the link to our new online store and parts
department:
Poolandspa.com Online Store |

PoolandspaParts.com.
We will be joining forces to supply you with
an even larger selection of
replacement parts for your pool or spa.
With this acquisition, Poolandspa.com will now
be the single largest retail supplier of pool & spa parts on the
Internet. All at even lower prices than before! We are
still in the process of re-designing our parts departments but all
our existing parts are on sale now at 50% off retail.

DAN'S NEW PRODUCT PICKS
|

Dan Harrison |
This is a new section of our Online Newsletter
where they let me, the President of Poolandspa.com, actually pick
some of the products that I think will be the hottest selling items
for this season. These products are ones that I have
researched and added to our web site because I feel that they
deserve special mention and attention. Some of these items are
for sale through Poolandspa.com, and some you need to contact the
manufacturer in order purchase. Either way, my 30 years
experience in the pool and spa industry tells me that these items
will be HOT sellers and will be products you really should check out
for your pool or spa !
º
Spa Scenes Cover
Murals
- These are great full color murals that go on the back of your spa
cover. There is nothing like this available anywhere.
They look awesome - I even put one on my own personal spa!
º
Cover Valet Spa Cover Lifter
- This is a MUST HAVE for all spa owners. I have one of these
on my personal spa and I could not live without it. This cover
lifter is the highest quality available on the market and is not
flimsy, like many of the other ones. We sell these at Poolandspa.com
and I would definitely recommend this product !
º
Prestige Spa Covers
-
These Spa Covers are great. Very heavy duty and delivery
is normally in about 2-3 weeks. Take a look at this video
to see all of the quality features they offer!
|

º
Swimming Pools Exposed Book
- This is a MUST HAVE BOOK for anyone thinking about having an
inground pool built in their year. The author goes into a lot
of details about the things to watch out for and be concerned about
when selecting a local pool builder. It is available as an
e-book thru Poolandspa.com and I strongly recommend reading it
before you buy.
º
Durasol Awnings - These are terrific
retractable awnings that can be easily added to any home. They
provide great shade for your patio area. They are of a very high
quality and can increase your patio use by blocking out bothersome
sunlight. If you are in the market for an awning, I would recommend
these.
º
Crystal
Fountains
- I LOVE these products. This company make any type of water
fountain equipment you could imagine - and many you could not
imagine until you see them. They now offer a line of residential
fountains for pool, spa and backyard use. You have to take a
look at their web site and check these out. They are GREAT
!!!!
º
Party Pool
Water Coloring
- This is a really neat product. You can temporarily color the
water of your pool or spa for those special party occasions. The
effect is dramatic, and only lasts a few days with no damage to your
pool filter. I like the blue color myself. Makes your
pool water looks very, very cool.
º
EZ Pads Spa Pads
- This is a really great idea. Placing your spa is sometimes
troublesome because you may not have a deck or patio, or you may not
be sure where you want to place your spa. These folks have
invented a heavy duty portable spa decking system that allows you to
make a spot for your spa - and then move it in the future.
Kind of hard to explain, but go to the link and take a look at the
pictures and you will understand. This product is great for
people that are renting houses or who do not want to permanently
build a deck or pour a concrete slab to put their spa on.
Check it out !
º
The Covana
Automatic Spa Cover
- OK, this has to be THE BEST spa product I have
ever seen. I spotted this at a spa convention last November
and I was so impressed with this that we are now heavily promoting
it. It is a heavy duty automatic spa cover system that raises
up and down by itself. You have to click on the link to see it
in action. We gave it a Best Of Class Award for new product
innovation ! |
POOLANDSPAGREEN.COM SITE OPEN AND
READY FOR BUSINESS !
|
 |
We just opened
the PoolandspaGREEN.com section of our web site. It is
already one of the most

of these Eco Friendly and Global
Warming Friendly Swimming Pool and Hot Tub Spa products. Hopefully you will find these

POOLANDSPA.TV IS HERE !
|
 |
Poolandspa.com has recently acquired
Poolandspa.TV. This web site will be used to promote
Poolandspa TV programs, videos and instructional DVD's.
A new
Poolandspa.TV Section has been
added to our site. With the popularity of YouTube, we
have had a lot of requests for pool and spa related videos
to be put on our site. This has been quite an undertaking,
to produce and gather many videos like this, but we are currently
working on more videos and web pages change daily....so check back frequently for all the latest!
THE HISTORY OF .TV

You will be
seeing the .tv extension more and more in the future. For your
information,
the .tv comes from the tiny South
Pacific nation of Tuvalu, complete with it’s red hot top level
domain name .tv. Less than three years ago Travel.tv sold for
$65,000 while Mail.tv sold for $35,000 and these are not even close
to the highest reported sales of all-time. It was rumored that
Golf.tv sold for $600,000 in years past but can not be verified.
Other top reported .tv sales include; China.tv, Free.tv and Net.tv,
all of which had over $100,000 price tags.
Why so much fuss over this tiny island country of just 11,636
inhabitants? It’s simple really, the acronym TV is known around the
world as the
abbreviation for television, this acronym has no language barriers.
It is without question one of the most recognized two letter
combinations in the entire world and we all know the world has an
incredible fascination with their beloved televisions. In fact in
many countries throughout the world watching television is their
favorite past time. From one study we saw it showed that an average
person watches TV for nearly 30 hours on
average per week. That’s nearly 1,000 hours per year...this a lot of
time to devote to the tube. And broadband web use is also
growing exponentially worldwide. So the mixing of web-based
content with TV content is a natural next step.
We are sure that our new
Poolandspa.tv name will become a household word in the near future!
 Go
to the
Poolandspa.com TV
Section

HOW-TO VIDEOS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE
VIEWING
 |
We are producing many of our own Poolandspa.com TV
How-To videos on everything from pool & spa maintenance to
how to open and close a pool, water chemistry and more.
Some videos are already done and up on our site (see below).
If you have any educational or funny pool or spa videos,
we would love to see them for possible inclusion on our
site. Email the YouTube link (not the whole video, just the
link) to
betty@poolandspa.com. This is surely becoming one of the most
popular areas of our site. Enjoy!

JEFF'S CORNER
RECESSION FEARS ?
IF YOU CAN, NOW IS THE BEST TIME
TO BUY A POOL OR SPA
|

Jeff Baxter |
Recession?, Slowdown? Economic collapse? No matter where you
turn you can't keep from hearing about the housing slowdown, high
gas prices, unemployment rising and the sub-prime mortgage mess.
This has understandably hit the pool and spa industry very hard over
the past 12 months.
Many pool builders and spa retailers have seen
their business all but trickle to a slow crawl. Many
businesses are reporting 2007 sales down by up to 90%. Most of
the pool and spa related publicly traded companies have seen their
stock values plummet in the fourth quarter of 2007. Although the
strong companies will of course, survive, many of the smaller
mom-and-pop type local pool and spa companies will have a very, very
difficult 2008. Since new pool and spa sales are very closely tied
to personal loans or the second mortgage market, there will be no
large increase in new installation sales until the Feds, Congress
and the banking industry figure out a way to loosen up credit once
again.
There is good news though! If you can afford
it, and are thinking about buying a new pool or spa, THIS IS
DEFINITELY THE TIME TO BUY! You will never see deals like this
again. Many of the swimming pool builders and spa dealers are
offering tremendous deals, bargains and incentives in order to fill
their installation schedules for the spring.
If you have some money saved up, or
you do have access to the very low interest rates being offered by
some banks, you could save thousands of dollars by purchasing your
pool or spa now, while the market is still down. Although Poolandspa.com does not sell
pools or spas, our site is a great resource for you to do your
research before purchasing.
To start your research, check our
these popular areas of our site to begin your planning:

To get the unbiased opinions of
others, you may want to check out our
Pool and Spa
Message Board Forums to see what other consumers have to say
about their pools or spas - or their experiences buying the.
Any of course we suggest visiting the
web sites of many of our sponsors, which you will see along the left
hand side-bar on many of the web pages on our site.
