GW launches a new online sales campaign
La Games Workshop, stopped by these weeks of stop caused by COVID-19, has decided to reactivate the virtual Vouchers only for e-commerce, enticing them with a new promotion aimed at all its customers. In fact, until the end of April, for every 50 € of virtual voucher that will be purchased, another 5 € of voucher will be added for free. An excellent way not only to offer the player a small saving, but at the same time an intelligent way to manage this emergency and relaunch the company and its retail shops in the best possible way towards the return to normalcy.
There is more?
This second live was also full of anticipations, presenting further innovations for most of the game systems of the Games Workshop, but surprisingly, the live ends with the announcement that a third part scheduled for Saturday 18 April will continue the cycle of previews. Could it be a move by the English company to keep the hype active in this period of market contraction?
