Welcome And What’s New
Tim MillardHi, Tim Millard here of The Extras. And along with me today is Blair Zykan of Moviezyng. And Blair, you had a exceptionally successful Warner Archive anniversary sale. We talked about that recently. But now you have another promotion that you're running that I thought it'd be good to get the watchers and listeners of the Extras some information about. Tell us about it.
The 10% Pre-Order Promotion
Blair ZykanWell, Tim, first off, uh thanks to both you uh uh for having me on as well as uh all of uh your listeners and what and viewers uh for participating in the archive sale. It was truly a record. And we're just getting started with MovieZyng. So, well, this one's uh very exciting, as it's been uh highly requested from MovieZyng shoppers and uh as well as folks we just hear from on a regular basis, and that is our pre-order uh discount promotion. So now through April 30th, virtually every title that is on a pre-order status at Moviezyng is available for anyone to purchase at a 10% discount. And literally once or twice a week, new titles are coming on that are uh in in the uh pre-order period, and as soon as the title uh street dates, well then it goes off pre-order. So uh everybody has a chance to save, but you want to check back frequently to look at the new titles that are available. And we've got some great titles for everybody to choose from. Not only all of the Warner Archive titles, such as uh Private Benjamin, George Stevens, uh A Filmmaker's Journey on 4K, the Looney Tunes, uh uh a total uh series collection on Blu-ray, but titles from Sony such as uh Moneyball, uh 4K, as well as uh Something's Gotta Give, and a host of indie titles uh running all across all sorts of genres. So a great chance for everybody to uh shop and save.
Tim MillardI love that because I know that when we talk about collectors, that we really thank those who take the time and the money up front to support the Warner Archive and all of the releases versus only waiting for a sale. I understand why people do wait for a sale. That's of course very understandable, but those who are committed to getting in the pre-order and supporting the Warner Archive, you're basically gonna reward them. You're gonna say, hey, right from the get-go, 10% off.
Blair ZykanI love that. Absolutely. And it runs counter to what most of the big box retailers do. Our objective is to give folks a chance to buy early, enjoy the title right from the beginning, and bring more people and have a chance to uh enjoy their shopping uh and uh buying experience at movies.
Rewards Members Can Double Dip
Tim MillardThat's terrific. And then you have kind of another thing you're gonna give to those who are also rewards program members. Tell us about that.
Blair ZykanWell, one of the interesting parts with the uh the rebuild of the store, we added a rewards program. I'm excited that we have nearly 2,000 folks that have joined the rewards program. And most of the time, rewards points uh you you don't get as much of a chance to double dip. But but our rewards members have asked for the chance for sales that they could participate and essentially double dip and add the rewards points. And this particular promotion is one of them. Folks have asked for it, and now for those that have rewards uh points, you can get an additional 10%. So now that gets you to a 20% discount on a pre-sale title, uh, and moviesing will be uh essentially not only uh a great experience for everyone to shop, but arguably the the most affordable place to buy any uh any of the Warner Archive or other titles we carry on pre-order.
Tim MillardRight, right. And just to clarify for people, you can double dip. You can get the 10% off for the pre-order, and then if you have reward points, you can use those for the pre-orders.
Blair ZykanYou can automatically the 10% will take place, and then as you're checking out or see it in your cart, there's a place to enter your coupon code. You redeem some of your points that you uh know that you want to use, pick the amount of uh points you want to use for the order you have in mind, and then uh redeem a coupon code, enter that code right in as you're uh as you're checking out, and you'll get a double dip.
Guest Checkout Points Still Count
Tim MillardNow, Blair, some people who maybe went to the sale and bought some Orner Archive titles, they may not have created an account, they may have checked out as a guest, so they don't necessarily have rewards points. But uh, what do you say to those folks?
Blair ZykanWell, it's not too late for those that have made purchases. We track uh the point accumulation that your purchases would have generated. And so uh those that want to sign up, they'll automatically have some points from their recent purchases. And then you also get 50 points just for signing up as well. So uh virtually everybody can uh just go back to Moviesing if you have shopped, even if you are not a current rewards member, sign up for your account and you'll be able to have points and take advantage of it.
Tim MillardThat is only kind of there for like 30 or 60 days and then poof it disappears. So it's not like it's in there forever, but for right now, if they within the last 30 days were a part of that sale, that information is stored there. It makes it very easy to go back and get your points so that you can start using them right away.
Blair ZykanUh absolutely. We'd love to see everybody sign up and be able to uh take advantage of these sales with extra extra benefits.
Finding Pre-Orders Fast On MovieZyng
Tim MillardAnd right on your main page is going to be a tile that says pre-order 10% off. So people click that and that's how they find the pre-orders, correct?
Blair ZykanExactly. Uh so they just click on the title, it's right front and center on the homepage. It'll take you to uh a couple of hundred or so uh titles that are on pre-order. And as I'd mentioned earlier, uh that selection changes uh almost daily.
Tim MillardI also noticed that some of those that are on the page or when you search have a little thing that says in the corner, pre-order. So that's another way people can see that as well if they don't know uh specific titles. I love it. I think it's terrific. You really are looking out for the collector. And tell us kind of your motto again about this uh this new Moviezyng, rebrand, because I think it's worth uh hearing.
Blair ZykanWell, our whole objective is to not just uh create a web store, it's really to create a community and bring that community together of those of us that enjoy and are passionate about physical media and as well making uh physical media fun again.
Tim MillardI love that. Making physical media fun again. And I think people do need to know that this is a bit of a trial. You're seeing how people respond to it. So it may not last forever. It's definitely running through April, and then we'll have to see after that. And then once again, once a title does street, it's no longer available for this. So this is only for pre-orders. That is correct. And let's tease people. Blair has more great ideas coming, uh, coming up for members and fans of Moviezyng. So uh this is uh the very exciting time for Moviezyng.
Blair ZykanUh it is indeed. And uh again, uh thanks for uh the chance to uh share some of the good news.
Affiliate Note And Warner Archive Shortcut
Feedback Request And Sign-Off
Tim MillardI do want to remind everyone that the Extras is an affiliate partner of Movie Zing, but that's a reason why I wanted to bring this 10% off pre-order sale information to you, is because I'm always looking for ways to serve the physical media collector, both through our interviews with Jerry Beck or George Feltenstein or many of the other people we bring on, and then how we update everybody on what is being released by Warner Brothers, Warner Archive, and other studios. So this is uh just another way I wanted to let you know about it. It's not that obvious when you go to the Movies Inc. uh website. Yes, they have that tile there, but I think it needed a little explanation to really drive home the benefit. I also found a slightly faster way if all you're looking for are the pre-orders for the Warner Archive. That is to go to the homepage, find the Shop All Titles drop-down menu, go down to Major Studio Brands, that'll open up an option to find the Warner Archive, select that, and that will bring up the Warner Archive Collection page. And the most recent pre-orders are right there. So that I found was the fastest way to go straight to the Warner Archive Collection pre-orders. So, those who are primarily looking for those, that's your shortcut. If you're looking for all of the pre-orders, of course, the way we described it off of that tab is still the way to go. And I had no idea about this ability to use the rewards points on top of the 10% off. So I think that's great. I always love to double dip myself. It's not usually allowed, so it's always a great benefit when you can do that. And then, of course, sometimes I go to a website and I only check out as a guest. I don't sign up the membership. But Blair made it clear that if you did that within the last 30 to 60 days, they still have that information and you can convert that guest checkout to joining the rewards program. Get those rewards points, the 50 points you get just for signing up, plus whatever you already earned, so that you can see, hey, oh yeah, look, there I have some points I can use on top of the 10% pre-order. So I would love to hear people's reaction uh if you have been using the pre-order or if you are using it now, and give us uh some feedback on your thoughts of is this a great deal, is this a good idea? And I think Blair would probably find that interesting as well. So leave that in the comments here in our social media pages. I'll share some of that with Blair so that we can build a better community and bring more things for the physical media collector, what we need and what we want, and what benefits us most. Well, I hope you enjoyed this little video update, and as always, stay slightly obsessed about physical media.
