A One-Day Discount on Mimbo Pro
Set your clocks for 12:00am PST on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) — for one day only, Mimbo Pro will sell for 40% off! That’s $54 for single-user copy, $120 for a multi-user copy.
How does the sale work?
At any time on May 5th, users purchasing the theme can simply enter a special coupon code (name: “cincodemayo”) during checkout.
Why Now?
Since the theme launched in March, sales have been excellent despite the fact that neither Ben nor I have had much time to properly promote it — all publicity has been word-of-mouth.
At this point, initial kinks and bugs have been worked out and cool upgrades have been added. We thought Cinco de Mayo would be a festive day to offer this special deal and expand our user-base.
How can I make money on Mimbo Pro sales?
Place an ad on your site and collect 25% of each resulting sale of the theme!
When will you stop with the salesman stuff and go back to writing about Wordpress?
Yeah, sorry about that.
I’ve been a little out of touch lately, occupied with some home renovations (my other hobby). I also began feeling a bit burned out last month, juggling work responsibilities + blog and Mimbo stuff, and am trying to temporarily lighten my load.
I do have some things queued for the upcoming months:
- Mimbo 3.0 — top secret new features and layout
- A new design for darrenhoyt.com
- A theme collaboration with Adii
- More behind-the-scenes tutorials on Mimbo Pro
- An experimental theme for bbPress
Meantime, thanks for all your support and patience.

Mimbo 3.0??? Come on! Give us just a hint! :)
I hope the impatient cinco de mayo.
Every day, without exception, someone hits my site using the search term “mimbo pro”.
They scan my review, and bounce away.
I hope this is an indication of your success!
Your next version should make better use of tabs, and should have some of those jquery toys, such as accordion.

Mimbo Pro is one of the best theme I’ve seen.
Thanks guys!
And Bob, I appreciate the incoming traffic. Hard to say if future upgrades will extend the use of jQuery (it already uses jCarousel), but we’re currently tweaking things so that there are at least no collisions with plugins which also rely on jQuery.
@Greg: All I will say is that Mimbo 3.0 will have a much improved design and come packaged with some images/colors that can be used by default or easily customized. I’ll also be implementing the TimThumb script and including more custom templates. Stay tuned.
Aww and me without money. :(
And do you have a notion about what the upgrade path will be to 3.0. Well more importantly if I buy pro tomorrow, will the upgrade be included?
Mimbo 3.0 refers the free Mimbo, which is currently in v2.2.
But for the record, anyone who buys Mimbo Pro also has access to any upgrades we make.
Thanks for the Sunday Special - it worked for me and got my procrastinating rear-end in gear. Made the purchase and all went smoothly. Hope the sales went well for you and Ben.
Will there be a psd included to change colors etc, with out changing your work and credit?
Two .psd files come with the multi-license copy.
Thanks great to know that!
Hi Darren,
im having problems with plimus.com timing out on me. tsk
Finally able to purchase it, Is there delay in the sending of the filesource? Thanks!
Purchase went through without any problems and very quickly, can’t wait to have time to get it up and running.. thanks for the discount day!!!
@Kiven: Hmm, there might have been a delay if they had to check over your credit card for any reason.
@Keith: no problem, hope you’re enjoying the theme!
Dear Darren!
I really like Mimbo, sorry that I did not have to discount!))
Tell me, but can cause problems if you pay by credit card, if I am in Russia? I very much would like to buy your topic, but I do not have transnatsianalnoy credit card, credit card and only Russian bank. Can cause problems? Sorry, I do not speak English … and sorry for the translator))
@Artem: the transaction service might need to confirm your information first, but otherwise, you should not have any problems paying.
