I
will be hosting a HUGE BASH and have a downline group, of many, many ladies,
who are spread across the country, who will also be doing crops/classes.
We will be offering our expertise in memory keeping and will also be having
a great deal of exciting giveaways and prizes awarded throughout our events!
We are extremely excited to be a part of this event and plan on using it to
our fullest advantage! We are also appreciative to Fun Facts Publishing,
who has founded this event and has given us all something to
be proud of!
Happy ISID!

From Sue Lech,
owner of Thanks
for the Memories in Lake Zurich, IL...
"We are fortunate to have an employee from Australia currently living
here in the USA. We have a 'product of the month' promotion in our store where
we create a page layout, a few cards or tags from certain products we want
to highlight as special for the month.
"For the first 7 days of the month, anyone who purchases those products will receive 5% off to complete those pages. For March, we will have our Australian employee create the page of the month. The customers will receive 5% off during the first 5 days, except for March 4th.
"On that
day (this is where I need to fill in the blanks after I speak to my employee),
they will get a different discount. I need to find out the tax rate in Australia,
the exchange rate, something to tie us to Australia. Then we can give that
discount off the supplies.
"We have also included it in our newsletter for March. I will be sending
a press release to several newspapers and radio stations in our area. I'll
probably be sending it out to television stations also. It ties in with our
5 year anniversary month too.
"We will also have all travel stickers on sale 10% off.
"If you have any questions, please contact me at:

"During the month of February everyone saves their receipts. Then on March 4 they can bring them in and get 'Auction Scrapbucks' dollar for dollar. Then they can go into my workshop room where I will have items that they can bid on (like a silent paper auction) and every hour the highest bidder wins.
"Each hour something else goes up for auction and the best part is they don’t have to spend any actual cash for their winnings. They use 'Auction Scrapbucks.' Of course, the more they spend in the store in February, the more they will get in Scrapbucks.
"I will use one hit wonders, items that didn’t sell well, and items I received from companies getting me to try or see their new items. And I will also purchase a few items especially for the auctions.
"I will have make & take classes, a tasters' table with foods from all over the countries, discounts on purchases not using Scrapbucks, facts and scrapbook page ideas from around the world.
"Of course the longer you stay and bid on items the more you get free, and hopefully they will take home tons of great goodies and page ideas, and learn new things in the process!"
From Carrie A. Zohn, owner of Scrapping With Style...
"We will be having contests, prizes, mystery packs for people who order that day, a store-wide sale, etc."
