Explanation:
Meiner Meinung nach ist der Quelltext für einen Marketingtext zu lasch formuliert. Meine Übersetzung ist daher etwas aggressiver fomuliert.

neutral  Bob Kerns (X): The "nun" implies that this sentence follows a lot of other marketing/sales arguments and that this is what the cuatomer/reader should do NOW.

  -> Then you would use "jetzt". In my mind "nun" is not commonly used that way.
neutral  Steffen Walter: das übliche Unschärfeproblem der Verwendung von "jetzt" und "nun"
