Why OLLO Doesn't Do Black Friday
Founder’s Open Letter
In a world of countdown clocks and “only today!” discounts, we’re stepping back from the Black Friday chaos. Here at OLLO, we believe in something a little different:
fair pricing, all year round.
Here’s why we don’t throw our headphones on a discount pile for Black Friday - and why we think you’ll appreciate that.
For Creators, By Creators
Every pair of OLLO headphones represents the work, the craft, and the passion of a team who cares about getting things right. Just like a musician spends years mastering their sound, we invest time, skill, and dedication into creating audio tools that perform.
Discounting that effort for a one-day sale? Not for us.
Pricing with Integrity
We know the value of respecting the work. Just as creators deserve fair pay for gigs, beats, and mixes, our pricing reflects the true worth of our headphones. Instead of chopping our prices for one chaotic day, we choose to keep our pricing steady and fair - no surprises, no markups to mark down, no pressure tactics. Black Friday may come and go, but at OLLO, every day is an honest deal.
Support Where It Matters
Our commitment to creators goes beyond talk. While we don’t do flash sales or seasonal discounts, we’re still here to support those who could use a hand on their journey. If you’re a student, an audio professional, or just getting started in the industry, we’ve got year-round ways to help you get the gear you need.
1. Student Program
We understand that getting started in audio can be tough, especially when you're still in school. To support the next generation of sound professionals, we offer a 25% discount to all students and teachers in audio-related fields. Simply reach out to us with your student or teacher ID here to apply for this offer and get verified for our Student Discount Program.
2. Endorsement Program
Our community of endorsers is essential to our creative process. We rely on feedback from full-time engineers, producers, and musicians who know their craft and understand the demands of the industry. If you’re working in audio professionally and have a passion for quality sound, we invite you to apply. This program connects you directly with our R&D team, where your voice shapes the development of every new product we create. Interested? Apply to join our endorsement community and become a vital part of the OLLO family.
3. B-Stock Offers
Love our headphones but want a deal? Take a look at our B-stock items. These units come with minor cosmetic imperfections, but they perform with the same high-quality sound as every other OLLO product. It’s an ideal way to get professional-grade gear at a lower price, and availability is limited to when we have these units in stock. Check out what’s currently available in B-stock and grab a deal with character!
At OLLO, we’re not about racing to the bottom or making headlines with wild markdowns. Instead, we focus on delivering the best headphones we can, day in and day out.
Black Friday? Just another Friday for us.
We’re here for the long haul, standing by our work, and standing by creators like you.
So while others are out there chasing discounts, you’ll find us right where we always are - crafting the headphones you rely on, at prices that respect the time, skill, and passion behind them. Thanks for valuing that as much as we do.
Cheers,
Rok Gulič
founder
