5 things to LOVE about this week (Big News!)
What a week! Buckle up, crafters, because I’ve got exciting news for you.
With all the craziness of life at the moment, it’s so important to find joy and immerse yourself in something you love.
And we’ve got it in spades this week.
1. New catalogue launches on Wednesday
One thing we all LOVE is brand new craft products. In this gorgeous new 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! catalogue there are pages and pages of them!
Hopefully by now you’ve received your hard copy in the mail (if you’ve bought from me in the past year) – if not please get in touch. You can download the digital copy when it goes live on Wednesday morning.
We’re making lists, checking them twice and working out what to get now and what to get later. Yep, I’m right there with you.
But don’t forget to check the retiring items in case there’s anything there you want to pick up before they are gone for good.
There’ll be a few hours from midnight Tuesday when the closes, but you’ll be ok to order from early Wednesday.
2. Extra Stampin’ Rewards
A brand new Stampin’ Rewards bonus starts on Wednesday – perfectly timed to coincide with the launch of the new catalogue.
For those of us with a big wish list, this is FANTASTIC news!
Extra free product is coming our way with every qualifying order.
As you may already know, Stampin’ Rewards is the free product credits you get when you place an order over AUD$250. It starts off at 10% of the value of your order and goes up from there. So for example, if your order is $270 then you get $27 in free product.
Well, from WEDNESDAY you’ll get a bonus $40 in Stampin’ Rewards when the order reaches $400! So instead of getting $40 in free product, you’ll get $80! Yay!
3. Get a bonus bundle
If the idea of bonus Stampin’ Rewards sounds good, how about combining it with a 20% discount on your crafty shopping with Stampin’ Up!? One of the most-loved benefits of joining Stampin’ Up! is getting that awesome discount – it means we can buy more (ahem) I mean save more LOL
But seriously, have you been thinking about joining Stampin’ Up!? Or rejoining? If you have, GET EXCITED because a new joining bonus has just been announced and it will knock your socks off.
From Wednesday, you can choose a FREE punch bundle or die bundle to any value when you get the Stampin’ Up! starter kit, in addition to all the regular perks! For $169 you could potentially end up with a kit worth $415. It’s really that good!
You can choose from one of the bundles of stamps & punches on pages 168-169 of the new catalogue, OR one of the stamps & dies bundles on pages 174-175. Take your pick! That’s up to $100.75 value extra, for free!
You’ll also be able to choose any additional available products worth up to $235. So get that wish list out and start working out what you’ll get. Stampin’ Up! will even throw in extra catalogues and various business supplies worth $80. The cost is still only $169 and shipping is free!
4. New Improved Shopping Experience
Many of my customers enjoy ordering their products directly through me, either by phone, text or email. I love connecting with you and chatting about our shared love of crafting. But increasingly, many of you are enjoying the convenience of ordering online through my online store. Anywhere, anytime.
If you are familiar with my online store, you may notice some changes when you get in there from Wednesday.
We’re excited to be making some fabulous improvements.
- The new online store will be more intuitive, have powerful search and navigation capabilities, and will have a much cleaner look
- It will work seamlessly on all devices – desktops, tablets and mobile phones. There’s even a new Feedback feature to help create a better shopping experience for you.
- You’ll see much larger pictures of the products so you can check out the close-ups before you decide to purchase.
- You can even sort and use the filter function to find exactly what you’re looking for.
- You’ll get real-time inventory status information, so you’ll know straight away if a product is on backorder or will be retiring soon, or if stock levels are low (so you can order before they run out).
Just something to note: If you rely on your browser to remember your login info (including password), the browser will probably ask for this information the first time you log in to the new site. If you remember your password you can just add it to the new site, or you can use the “Forgot Password” link and follow the steps to reset.
If you have the store link bookmarked as a ‘Favourite’ in your browser, it should redirect but you may need to update the saved link. You’ll know you’re still shopping with me if you see my name SIMONE BARTRUM in the top corner.
We’re so excited to bring this highly-anticipated and improved shopping experience to you.
5. Four Days of Facebook Fun
The Great Australian Craft Show is back from Thursday to Sunday, so make sure you check out my Stamping with Simone Facebook page for all the action.
Perfect timing with the launch of our new annual catalogue in the same week, so we’ll be bringing you NEW videos, NEW product spotlights, NEW giveaways and all the fun. I’ll be online during the day, ready to chat with you and respond to your comments. Hope you can join me!
I’ll be back tomorrow to share my monthly YCCI (You Can Create It) project, which will be another sneak peek from the new catalogue. See you then!
Happy stamping,
