Used to be we'd get a useful email every week or two.

Now it's daily emails, sometimes more than one in a day, and often not even listing the items; just an ad to click and go look through on the site.

This is disappointing.

6 emails a week, so never more then one a day.  

Its a hard thing for a business,

send one email a week and get 1x results, send 6 and get 6x results.  

I will admit I hate doing it since its 6x the work.   But if you could do 6x the business, would you?

Don’t stop. As much as I like PSA, I get excited for my Aim emails.

I will admit, the once a week was quite a bit of excitement, but it’s the same joy, spread out now.

One day I’ll drive the 3 hours and visit in person.

Yeah don't stop. Love the emails.

Just tried to order a 43x comp. The site said there was a problem with my cc and did not confirm the purchase. My cc says it was approved. I hit the purchase button twice. I only need one.

In that both are the only places still charging 50 cents a round for 5.56? Maybe.

Warning a gun business retailer that they might end up like PSA is probably not a great deterrent.

I like AIM emails. I usually go in there about once a week and like seeing if there's any showroom only deals I'm interested in ahead of time so I don't waste my/the counter guys time  (I like perusing the clearance table too). As a matter of fact, Im planning to stop in tomorrow and give Bryan even more of my money.

Thanks Bryan, but not necessary, I already get them and those emails have already been thinning my wallet for a while now. Haha

I too enjoy the AIM emails, but I would very strongly prefer going back to individual links to specific sale items, rather than just a single link to browse the website.

I personally would be very happy with a basic email message that is nothing but one or two columns listing individual links to that days sale items.

I can only speak for myself, but I feel like I often miss out on AIM deals because I'm not aware of them. I'm a lot more likely to make an impulse buy if I come across something neat in a sales email and can click on a link that takes me directly to the item page.

Any chance you might go back to that older format, Bryan?

You guys are still my first choice for most gun related items.

I like the list of sales items or daily deals. Just a link to the website isn't enough.

yes most will be in that format, but like Saturdays Veterans day sale had 600 sale items, so that's not possible on those

I eagerly open every email from AIM hoping for news on a threaded AIM G43 barrel

I still have a M44, 1944 date stamp with hammer and sickle that I bought for $50 on a daily deal AIM had. Laminate stock,  bayonet, and super clean bore. What a steal. 2001 maybe?

Either way I love AIM, they have been good to me over the years. Good customer service too. I remember them from the Shotgun News days. PSA is good too. I'm glad we have such good companies to do business with honestly.

Considering how little effort it takes to delete an email, I'm not concerned.
That said I'm about to send Bryan an order based on email I just got.

I will always say, nobody takes more effort or attention in grading than we do, every item that comes in (even when the importer grades it) we lay out, and Scott grades it, then I come back to give a second opinion.
