Opie Oils Special Offer
Dear ,

Welcome to the OpieOils.co.uk Newsletter Issue 1... that's right the very first issue!

To complement our monthly offers and promotions email, we're going to bring you monthly news and information that we hope will help you understand the world of oils and how to get the most out of the OpieOils.co.uk web site.

We do have a large number of motoring enthusiasts amongst our customers, but to most people the oil in their car is something of a mystery... but the basics are actually pretty straightforward. With each newsletter we'll bring you an article to further your oil knowledge.

Also in this newsletter, we have some info about recent changes to our web site and explanation about something we get queries about, Club Members benefits and discounts.

Also in issue 1:

Winter motoring offer whilst stocks last - free gift for orders over £25
membersbenefitsMembers benefits & discounts - best prices for members of our Club Discount Scheme

Car and motorcycle forums get special discountsIf you're a member of a motoring club or forum, chances are that your membership will get you a discount at Opie Oils! Follow the links for a full list of participating car clubs & forums and participating bike clubs & forums to see if you can benefit.

If you're not already claiming members' benefits, you can upgrade your account free:

  • Log on to the web site (use the "Members Login" link at the top of the web site page)
  • Choose the "Your Account" link that appears once logged on (just to the right of the Opie Oils logo at the top of the page)
  • Choose your club from the "Club / Forum you are a member of" list and enter your club membership number or forum user name
  • Press the Update Account button

From then on, whenever you are logged in as a member, all prices shown on the web site will show the special members pricing which is between 10% and 17.5% cheaper!

TIP No1: When you're logged in as a member, members prices are shown as you shop. Log in before you start to shop to see the discounted prices as you go along.

TIP No2: When shopping as a member, the prices shown are already discounted to reflect your members' benefit, so you won't see a separate discount on your order receipt.

TIP No3: From time to time, we offer special promotional discounts through the use of a discount coupon code. These discounts can be combined with members pricing to provide really substantial savings. Don't forget that your members benefit through our club discount scheme will already be reflected in the individual product prices you see when you are logged in; the coupon discount is then applied to your discounted members prices at the checkout and shows as a discount off the total order amount.

WhatOilHow can I find out what oil my vehicle requires?

Vehicle manufacturers recommend a certain specification oil for your car. This varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model. Your vehicle handbook should contain this information, but if you're unsure then our web site can help.

By entering your vehicle make, model and year we'll provide a list of oils suitable for your car or motorbike, along with other products such as oil and filter service packs and workshop items. 

To look up your car, go to http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-879-products-for-my-car.aspx
To look up your bike go to http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-880-products-for-my-motorcycle.aspx

Choose a category, enter your vehicle details and we'll then list the full range of lubricants, service packs and other products we have matched to your specific vehicle.

FeedbackWe aim to please!

Your feedback is always welcome, and we'd love to hear from you so don't be shy.

What could we do better? Do you find the web site easy to use? Do we stock the products you want?

Our plans for the next few months include adding standard spark plugs and glowplugs to our range, complementing the range of performance Iridium plugs we already stock. But what else can we do, or do better?

Please let us know through the form on our web site or via an email to sales@opieoils.co.uk .
