caught up after being gone three weeks in August, and so soon after
convention
too! Thank you to all of you who sent in your convention
homework.
I've heard great reviews of the thank you gift! Love that!!!
A bunch

SALE ***
By now, I'm sure you've seen my messages about the Stampin' and
Scrappin'
Supply Garage Sale I am hosting this Sunday. If you are local,
you
can take advantage of participating in the Garage Sale by placing items
up
for sale. While my customers will receive a Stampin' Up! Gift
Certificate
for their items that sell, my Demonstrators will receive cash for your
items
that sell. I anticipate this event to grow bigger and bigger each
year
with a little more planning and alot more notice! Let me know if
you
have any items to place in the sale. If you are not local, take
note
of the details of the Garage Sale and host one yourself. It's a
great
way to bring your customers together and if you advertise in your local
paper,
you just may find some new customers!
*** A CHALLENGE OR
TWO FOR YOU ***
It has been quite a while since I have presented a challenge to the
group, so I have two challenges for you. You can accept one,
none, or both. I
cashed in my Great Rewards points for a bunch of goodies to share with
you! Are
you up for the Challenge?
September Challenge:
Send to me your Stampin' Up! goal(s) for September. These can be:
number
of workshops you will hold, dollar amount of sales you will submit,
number
of new demonstrators signed with you, or number of customer care calls
you
will make each week. Everyone who sends me their goals by
September
20 will receive a hand-stamped card from me. I will check back
with
you in the beginning of October to see how successful you have been
with
your goals. All who had sent me their goals and achieved their
goals will receive a gift from me.
October Challenge:
Better Your Best - If you have been with Stampin' Up! for less than one
year
(sign up date after 10/1/04), your "Better Your Best" challenge is to
submit
more in sales during the month of October than you have in any other
single
month. You must have submitted at least one workshop order prior
to
October 1, 2005 to be eligible to participate.
If you have been with Stampin' Up! for more than one year, then your
"Better
Your Best" challenge is to submit more in sales during the month of
October
than you have in any previous month of October. To be eligible to
participate,
you must have submitted at least one workshop order during any October,
or you can choose to better your best month ever. All who better
their
best will receive a gift from me.
Let me know if you accept a Challenge or two!
*** STAMPY
WACKERS TOO E-MAIL LIST ***
I have been asked to compile a list of Stampy Wackers TOO members who
would
like to share e-mail addresses with each other. This way, you can
talk
with each other without having to go through me! If you would
like
to be a part of this list, send me a note. All who are on the
list
will receive the e-mail addresses of everyone on the list.
