Everything on Sale? Yes!
Posted by Kevin on November 26 at 06:27 pmUPDATE: The sale has ended! Thanks to everyone who participated this year!
Black Friday is almost here and we just had to do something special. For the first time ever, Lima Beads has put every single item in our shop on sale… and I do mean EVERYTHING!
This sale has already started and will be available until 11:59pm EST on Monday 12/2/08. You don’t need a discount code or anything, you will see the sale prices throughout the web site. Just make sure you complete your purchases by the end of Monday because when the sale ends, any sale items in your cart will revert to the regular price!
As you know, Lima Beads is a pretty small company and we expect to be completely overwhelmed by this sale 
If we run out of an item, we’re sorry, but we won’t be able to offer rain checks. We’re pretty sure we’ll be able to keep up on orders and get everything ordered by 3pm out the same day (as always), but just to be safe — if your order is super time-sensitive, we highly recommend choosing UPS. Those orders are 100% guaranteed to go out the same day if ordered by 3pm EST.
Everything on Sale:
- CZ and Pearls? 25% off!
- Gemstone beads? 15% off!
- Vintaj Brass? 20% off!
- Stampt Metal? 20% off!
- Copper beads? 20% off!
- Cabochons? 20% off!
We also announced our holiday gift giveaway today. You can get free beads with every order through the end of 2008.
To everyone celebrating Thanksgiving this year — Have a safe and happy one! For everyone getting up at 4am to go shopping on Friday, play nice

Kitty Chicky Cat says:I really like the new feature on the green bead machine where when you click on a strand of beads to zoom in you also see it’s description. Call me lazy but it’s so much nicer to see exactly what the piece is made from right on the machine rather than having to search for the info in the rest of the site.
Thanks Lima Web Team
P.S. Are there plans to have a description for every item on the machine?

Bonnie R says:I just saw the ad in a small (in size) magazine called the Beader’s Handbook. First page inside the front cover – very nice. definetly will apeal to those who like more in their online shopping experience. Has it only been since 2003? How time does fly. -You know you are an online bead shopper – when you have to get the loose beads out of your keyboard before you can blog. thank you LB

Kevin says:Thanks everyone for your kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying the sale.
Ali and I are in recovery mode. We had the entire team in the office yesterday (Saturday) packing orders, including Steve from the web team. My dad even came down to help… we still didn’t get done!
Tomorrow is going to be a rough day, but I think we’re up for it. Thanks to everyone that has ordered. We’re happy to sell beads at a discount right now because we know funds are a bit tight for a lot of people.
Kitty and TJ, I’m glad you like that feature. We did that so you could get more info about the items without having to go to the item detail page every time. It works on the lunch specials page and the gift giveaway page as well. Anywhere that the window pops up for you to view more images!
Enjoy!

J Yee smart chick says:Dear Lima Beads folks,
Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday sale, I really appreciate it! I ordered a couple of items and of course wanted to order more…:) never can have too many beads! However, I’m in grad school and going to visit my family soon after my quarter ends!
Thank you again for such a fun, creative website, I’ve been telling another friend of mine about the “Fresh Picks” design feature and how much fun it is to use!
