First off, we hope that everyone that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday experienced a truly blessed time. And then we hope that we can also sneak into your Black Friday shopping list with an amazing special…
So here we go…
The 20%, 5-for-1
We haven’t run one of these in ages, so we’ve figured it needs to make a much-needed comeback. But instead of going same-old, same-old we’ve decided to spice things up a bit. So not only can you get 5 themes for the price of 1, but we’ll further discount that 1 theme by 20%.
Confusing? 
This is what the prices look like:
- The Standard Package: 5 themes for only $56.
- The Developer Package: 5 themes for only $120.
That is amazing value for money there, especially considering that you can pick any 5 themes from our collection of 81 awesome themes!
Update: The 20% discount also applies to our Drupal, Magento & Expression Engine themes, but there is no bonus themes included with those.
But there’s more…
If you instead wanted to have a go at our Club Subscriptions, we can offer you a whopping 40% discount on those. This means:
- Grab a Standard Club Subscription for an initial fee of only $75 (and then $15 / month thereafter);
- Or grab a Developer Club Subscription for an initial fee of only $120 (and then $20 / month thereafter).
We trust that we’ve just made your Black Friday shopping a tad more awesome!

Awesome offer, I will tell my friends now
I purchased yesterday but haven’t heard back. Can I have the discount?
contact us via the contact page please
Great sale, might have to get a few more themes then!
This makes me greedy…
I am trying to order this and it keeps taking me to a page where it asks for a coupon code, I thought this didn’t need a coupon code
You don’t need one for Subscriptions. Just leave it blank
Why 40%? Why not hit the psychological sales bell of $100 by making it 50%?
I mean, you will be making the full $20 a month, $240 a year forever thereafter from anyone who signs up. I’m sure you will get a lot of sign-ups today but it seems like dumb marketing, a missed opportunity to really shake the tree. For most people who haven’t already signed up to Woo, anything less than a solid 50% is going to be underwhelming, no real reason not to put it off for a few more months.
By comparison, WPMU Dev are giving 60% off all their memberships today. I’m not saying that their products are comparable to Woo, but they do know how to dazzle the crowd.
I guess it’s all subjective…
Nobody else seems to be complaining about the amazing special on offer…
Customers who decide not to buy don’t generally stick around to explain why, they just leave
Likewise, someone saying “We got the pricing right because we sold a thousand” can be self-deceiving because, of course, there is no way of knowing if a slightly different price might have doubled or tripled sales.
All I’m saying is that, as the discount is really just a smokescreen (because the price of ongoing subscription is the greater part of what people will pay over the first year and that remains undiscounted), it seems foolish to blunt your sales pitch for the sake of an extra $20. But, hey, I don’t KNOW that you would get more subscribers at $100, it is merely a hunch. I’m surprised that your gut doesn’t tell you the same thing.
In a world where relationships are becoming more important than ever, I would be doing all I could to get paying subscribers signed up; the subscription and the ensuing engagement, personal identification with and, ultimately, evangelisation of the brand to others should be more important.
Its hard to find the right balance in price, and many other factors come in to play. But thanks for your insight
They’d get more subscribers at FREE, but everyone has to draw a line somewhere right? Why can’t we just be happy at the great deal thats being offered?
Seriously, you are complaining about a 5-for-1 AND the price is 40% off? Really dude?
Just a small opinion piece here but it would be really great if you guys would use the word “Amazing” and “Awesome” a bit less when talking about yourselves, projects and/or themes… from a psychological stand point many people (myself included) perceive that as being conceited and self absorbed…
Don’t get me wrong, your themes are great and the value I find here is amazing… but I find it better if you let your customers call them amazing than you doing it yourself
We’re just such an amazingly awesome positive bunch here at WooHQ, so it’s hard to contain ourselves
(point taken)
Amazingly Awesome response! Awesomeness! Amazing!
can I buy EE themes too with this promo??
Yes!
How? I tried but did not see the option to add the additional themes and it was full price..??? What did I do wrong?
Sorry, EE themes (and Drupal, Magento) do have a 20% discount, but you only receive one theme. The 5-for-1 offer does not apply.
Magnus, can you guys be extra nice and give a 2-1 or 3-1 for EE? … or a bigger than 20% discount? … I would love to buy another theme or two… thanks in advance for reconsidering….
We cant do a x for 1 unfortunately. 20% is still a pretty good discount though
That is sad to hear, it didn’t appear so in the blog post and I was going to do it
But I only needed Magneto and EE Themes.
ok.. I’m not so familiar with woothemes.. can someone recommend their fav 5 so I can get this!
My favorite 5 (I’m biased though): Elefolio, Canvas, Inspire, Headlines, Fresh News
If you’re using it for work…
Canvas – most flexible #1 for sure
Coffee Break- highly loved by all business clients
Optimize – Sames as above
WooTube – Awesome and not just for video
Digital Farm – Because its awesome…
hehe, Now I want to get 9 themes… I guess I’ll just get a mixture of those..
Great! I use Canvas the others that I like Apz, Elefolio (the new one, looks great), Antisocial, Typebased(free)
Sounds great. I’m currently a user of Standard Club Subscription so how do I upgrade to Developer Club Subscription and enjoy the 40% discount?
Please contact us directly for any upgrade questions: http://www.woothemes.com/contact-us/
Great use of Woo Shortcodes in that post!
Hello,
I picked one Magento theme and entered the code “BLACKPACKAGE” but it did not work. Any help?
You’re right! I’ve fixed it now so try again
Thanks!
Does this offers include the Estate theme? It seems that the Estate has its own price. Thanks
Estate isn’t in the x-for-1 deal, but you do get 20% off with the coupon
I’m interested in WooStore, but for WordPress, not Magento. I’m willing to wait till you come out with it. Can I go ahead and order it with the 5×1 deal?
Thanks!
Hi
Unfortunately you cam only pick bonus themes from those available at the time of purchase
Can I select the four bonus themes after few days.
Yes, as stated in our FAQ
I want to test the themes with my content before making a decision. Why isn’t wooplayground allowing me to import xml content?
Security issues are the reason why we can’t import data in our playground
In that case you should had a comprehensive data set by default.
Question: I have three standard themes. I would like to upgrade them to developer. Can I use this offer? Or can you suggest best offer for me with this black friday sale? I also want to buy a Chapters theme (developer) and a Diarise theme.
I forgot to tell you, i want to buy the Diarise theme (developer)
Drop us a mail and we can figure something out.
Good deal, what about the affiliates commission? Do we still get the same amount of commission?
Affiliate commission still stays at 20% of the sales price.
Do any of the themes support buddypress? Is there a timelimit from when I purchase my main theme to the time I have to choose my bonus themes? Thanks
Canvas BP support is being worked on as we type. No time limit, but you can only pick from themes available upon purchase.
Sorry Magnus, a little confusion…
Can we pay you right now, but select 5 themes lately from available now themes, not future ones?
Regards,
Igor
You can pay now, but pick themes later on, but you can only pick from themes available at the time of purchase. So new themes won’t come under this special.
Great! Thanks!
Are any ExpressionEngine themes included in this promotion? We ExpressionEngine people feel that we are not being loved…
Yes EE themes also have 20% off, but no bonus themes.
Hi all,
Now I’m torn! Do I wait to see what goodness will come from the WPBundle? Or do I take this a-MAZ-ing offer?
If you were me, what would you do?
Both.
I *knew* you’d say that.
P
You black friday offer make me unforgettable one. Thanks for your great offer.
Since we all live in different parts of the world with different time zone, exactly which time zone are you guys following to close the offer at midnight on Monday, 29 November 2010?
Thanks..
We’ll make sure that it’s past midnight in all time zones
Can I choose the 4th bonus theme later? I will just wait for the WooStore or Air for WordPress to be released. Thanks.
This was already answered above: http://www.woothemes.com/2010/11/the-not-so-black-friday-sale-5-for-1-and-20-discount/#comment-53616
OK, I bought Canvas, and left the other four themes blank, since I keep waffling on which others I want… I think I’ll probably end up getting Chapters, City Guide, The Journal and Inspire. Although I like Digital Farm too.. And a couple of others…
This could get to be an expensive addiction! LOL
I’ll let you guys know which ones I want once I finally make up my mind. Thanks, and happy holidays!
Do you have a standard Terms Of Service or license agreement that is agreed to upon purchase of your themes? You know, the legal stuff?
Is this still going on? This is Pacific Standard Time and it’s about 14 hours off from midnight here.
Yes it is still on
It says right there in the black box above: offer valid 26-29 November 2010
Sadly for me… my card isn’t working tonight! I hope you guys have another promotion coming up in December?
If it isn’t working today, contact us when it is working so we can give you the same deal
Just did that. Thank you Magnus!
Been trying to reach you guys all day. @woothemes twitter account told me to email you guys. Used your contact form 5-6 hours ago. Also replied to my previous contact from you. (reply at woothemes dot com) and got no response.
I’d like to upgrade my Club subscription from Standard to Dev and take advantage of your special pricing, but I can’t seem to get any help from your end as to the process.
It is past 11pm in Cape Town. We will get back to you in the morning and Yes well still give you the special pricing.
Awesome. Thanks. That’s a solution I can work with.
I feel a lot better now that I’ve heard back from somebody.
What a steal! I made my firts woothemes purchase yesterday… Thx.
This is awesome; I’ve been putting off buying a theme from you guys for my personal blog, but I can’t procrastinate any longer thanks to this sale!
WooWoot!
Just grabbed the 5 for 1 offer to add to the four I already owned!
Might even get the WPBundle offer, but $250 smackers is a lot-o-dough this close to Christmas.
Thanks for a great offer and great themes!
http://www.alittlestyle.co.uk
Apparently midnight Eastern time? I just tried to do it at 11:28 Pacific and it said “Coupon expired” Totally bummed…
Or maybe midnight Capetown time? Us darn Americans keep thinking we’re the only time zone.
Same problem here, will contact!
Coupon code works now
The Coupon code has been updated now so it is still valid
Coupon expired… but it’s not midnight yet. I was going to purchase Elefolio but delayed because I was trying to decide on the bonus themes.
Extended the coupon code now!
Thanks!
Thank you for the great service! Thats why we all love WooThemes (that and the good product of course) Themes purchased!
Midnight where? UK?
Just past midnight Pacific Standard Time (PST), or just past 8am Wednesday morning in UK. (we don’t believe in strict deadlines)
I Tried to but keeps saying my login was already taken. What shall i do?
Is it your login? if you already have an account, you can login to purchase. If you don’t you need to find a username that isn’t taken
okok. Myfault. This promo is avaiable for magento themes to?
Yes, Magento has 20% off, but no bonus themes.
Hi Magnus!
Uhmm, I just realized right now that I can save a lot in your Standard Club Subscription, however, I already purchased your Standard Package, is there a way to so somewhat refund it then I will purchase the Standard Club Subscription?
And for the Standard Club Subscription, will I be billed $15 this month or it will start next month?
Hi,
You pay $75 now, and then you get billed $15 next month.
Drop us a mail after you have purchased the subscription, and we’ll refund your standard package.
Oh my, this is my LUCKY day! I have been putting off purchasing CityGuide for a while now until I had the $ and I finally came online to purchase it tonight and it’s on SALE?? what? thank you guys soooo much!! woothemes are the best i’ve seen!
ok i know you guys have said over and over here in this thread that we can choose our bonus themes later, however in the FAQ in my account, it says you cannot. I just want to make sure that this is an exception for this sale then right? i know, i know, sorry to ask, but it’s for my piece of mind. thanks
You can, and well change that FAQ
You guys are awesome!
Purchased the 5-theme pack with $56 coupon, at 6PM PST (3.5 hours ago.)
Have not yet received any links in my email, to the theme I chose
Chose the Newsports theme, will choose the other 4 bonus thems later after I have time to browse them all, thanks.
Please let me know about receiving link to my first theme
Its always best to contact us direct with payment and account issues. Please include your receipt number.
Magnus, I wanted to contact you direct, but there seems to be no way to do that through your website. When you click on Contact the notice comes up, “We do not provide support via e-mail. Please post all support queries in our support forum.”
So by direct, did you mean I should post payment/account issues on your forum?
OK I resent you my original questions on the Contact us form
Hello i want to promote, please! as I have to do?
Gracias, saludos.
