Apartment Lifestyle are getting into the festive season by offering a discount code which offers 10% off everything store-wide (which at the moment is only shoe racks) until Christmas day.
It might be a small product range for now, but we thought we would put the discount up anyway ;)
Wishing everyone a happy and safe festive season from the team at Apartment Lifestyle!
Not disagreeing, but just a note that I believe the word "company" isn't restricted to Pty Ltd entities. Law and accounting partnerships often use the word "company" in their name, and it is possible to register a trading name with the word "company". I think it's only important that someone doesn't claim to be a Pty Ltd when in fact they are not.
Yeah, I think a large proportion of society at the moment seems to business and company interchangeably, but A3Australia does raise a good point that when representing a business it's probably much wiser to use the correct terminology.
@A3Australia,
As highlighted on the Whirlpool forum, the only mistake was that I initially did not disclose it was my business when replying to the OP. Afterwards, I did send him a Whim apologising and he seems perfectly happy with the information received thus far.
I do however thank you for alerting me to the fact the 'About Us' page did mention the word "company" as this is incorrect and has been fixed.

You actually hid the fact.
"It seems like a pretty cool way to store sneakers – a friend of mine has one of these in the states, but I haven't seen them in Australia."
You then included a link to your web site and on-line store.
Strange that you "haven't seen them in Australia" when it is you selling them.
Have you also added your Sole Trader status and ABN to your site?
Hello again, thanks for your previous feedback, the appropriate amendments have been made to the website :)
At this stage, a few things I would like to highlight:
- We are not asking you to purchase this product if you do not like it, or feel it's not cost-effective for your situation. Our aim is to offer Australians a larger variety of products for people to choose from.
- If a person wants to buy this product, the XMAS2010 discount code will provide $7.90 off. Again, not a necessity to use this discount code if you feel the amount does not warrant the time to type it in. I've personally entered discount codes for less though.
- When saying, "I haven't seen them in Australia" it was meant as a broader statement in the sense that I have not seen these being sold in Australian shops, or used in Australian homes. Hopefully this clarifies any confusion you may have!
A NEG from me for the following reasons.
You (and your friend/partner) tried spamming the Whirpool Forums. Since being heavily edited (your post), it is a little difficult to 'see' the spamming.

You only have one product - the $40 Chinese shoe racks.
You promote your site/business as being a "company". However, you are a Sole Trader with a Business Number.
Your ABN does not appear on your site. Nor are there addresses, or contact phone numbers.
$7.90 off an item that appears to me to be overpriced at $79 is not a bargain. It is just a manually revolving cage on wheels. A $5-$10 rack would hold as many pairs of shoes, and would be easier to use.
