It’s the holiday season! You can feel the excitement in the air, the children laughing, the carolers singing, families gathering…how many more days until Christmas? ItalianPod101.com can tell you! Well, sort of…. ItalianPod101.com’s annual Reverse Christmas Countdown begins today! Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - regardless of what holiday you celebrate, everyone can enjoy the celebration happening at ItalianPod101.com! As of today, EVERYTHING in ItalianPod101.com’s inventory is 25% OFF the retail price. But…how is that a countdown?

Beginning today, everything in ItalianPod101.com’s inventory is 25% Off. Yes, everything! That means Basic Subscriptions, Premium Subscriptions, CDs, DVDs, even our incredible Gengo products - if we have it, it’s 25% OFF! But each day, the discount drops 1%. So tomorrow, the discount will be 24%, and the next day - 23%, and so on, all the way through Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, the discount will have dropped all the way to 13%. Still a good discount, but obviously, the faster you act, the more you save! So keep listening in, as every day that passes, the discount will get smaller and smaller. And sadly, as much as we would LOVE to have Christmas all year round, it just wouldn’t be as special if we did. Just as Christmas must come and go, so will ItalianPod101.com’s Christmas Countdown promotion - it will disappear with Christmas on December 25th.
