Next week, July 25th through 29th, the staff of Westgard QC will be in Anaheim for the AACC/ASCLS convention. We'll be at BOOTH 6708.
Among other things, we will have copies of the new Basic QC Practices, Third Edition, manual. The AACC expects to have the Spanish Translation of this title available, both in book format and on CD. So there will be some special events involving the new book, including autographed copies available at the Van Slyke auction, raffle prize giveaway at some booths (check with us for details), etc.
We will also be demonstrating our EZ Rules QC Design software as well as our new online courses at http://www.westgard.org We will be offering registration specials for training, as well as coupons for the books and software available to attendees.
We will also be holding our annual "Westgard Wear" Raffle, a rare opportunity to win such items as a "Westgard Rules" baseball cap, shirt, or messenger bag. These items are not sold in stores (no store is willing to sell something this strange). Nor will these items be understood by the general public if you wear them. But for those seeking rare laboratory apparel, it doesn't get more obscure than this.
We also will have Special Discounts available at the show - but to find out how good those specials are, you have to visit us at the booth. Continuing the tradition from last year, however, we will also have a set of specials available online:
- Special #1: Use coupon code WISHYOUWEREHERE and you'll save $15.00 off any order at our online store
- Special #2: Use coupon code BETTERTHANATEESHIRT and you'll save $25 off any order over $100 at the online store
- Anyone who downloads, places an order, or simply sends us an email at [email protected] will be entered in the Virtual Westgard Raffle. Three lucky winners, chosen at random at the end of the raffle period, will win a Westgard hat, shirt, or bag. These unique items are not sold in stores - no store would have them. But for those who like obscure laboratory gear, there's nothing more obscure.
Fine Print for Special #1: one coupon per order, per customer, cannot be combined, online store only, special starts Wednesday July 21st and ends August 10th.
Fine Print for Special #2: void where prohibited, one entry per person, we cannot calculate odds of winning because we have very little idea of who will enter during this week. Again, this will end on August 10th.
Fine Print on the Fine Print: Why will the non-show specials last longer than the actual convention specials? Call it the AACC Show Hangover Effect. We'll be tired after the convention and need a few extra days to recover.
We'll post details from the convention next week.
