... just a few of the many things I MUST get done!

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

WELCOME NOTES:

Here are the notes in the Welcome to OPEN HOUSE presentation on Wednesday, July 8 - I wanted to be sure you all knew this, even if you weren't able to attend TECH:

1. Thank you gift to customers – Collector’s Club Journal
Includes all collected information about purchases made from poki since 2007. poki will no longer be keeping the list like I did in the past – I will only have orders. Your Journal would be a good Companion when you come to TECH if you keep it updated.


2. New stamps – the Inspiration Book contains 29 new sets to purchase.
The company has done a great job of choosing varied styles. There seem to be lots of new stamps that need coloring, so if that is your style you are in luck with this new catalogue. You will notice that all images are now printed at 100% again.


3. Gift with Purchase stamps have been replaced by PURCHASE WITH PURCHASE SETS (p. 3) These sets are available for purchase with a $30 qualifying order. My “challenge” – buy 9 get #10 FREE from poki


4. Some of the stamps from 2008 Fall Supplement have been included, some have not. If you find a stamp set in the previous catalogue that was not listed on the official retirement list, there is a chance it will return in the new Fall magalogue due out on SEPT. 1! Especially stamps related to Fall and Winter seasons and holidays. Poki has a list on computer, if you are interested in knowing which sets MIGHT be back, can e-mail that list to you.


5. Hostess sets – Level A: 4 new + Serendipity 2 (p 5), Level B: 4 new + Serendipity 2(pp 6-7); Level C: 2 new + Serendipity 1 (pp 8 – 9); Level D: 1 new (p 10). Or you can choose designated paper collections for Level C and D. I will continue to award Hostess prizes to everyone who makes a qualifying purchase of $20. These will include Hostess sets, Half Price Items, 20% discounts and poki’s choice products (This basket now includes some Hostess sets from previous catalogue.)


6. Serendipity sets are NOT included in the new catalogue. The Serendipity products are still available through January 2010!


7. There are no NEW papers, but there has been a drastic overhaul made to MIMI (we used it in June for the notepad!) Mimi is now MORE MIMI, there are 10 patterns instead of 5, and it is DOUBLE-SIDED. (Show product booklet) (p 12)


8. Unfortunately, DCWV has stopped manufacturing their white-core cardstock in single color packs. It is still available in the pads.


9. We are no longer selling – Designer Collections: Winterberry, Gentle Beginnings or Genevieve


10. Added tools – WRMemory Keepers Corner Chomper (p.124) case (p 124) and Scor-bug! (p 124) We will use the scor-bug in August!


11. Stamp prices are up a little, but you are still getting a fine quality rubber stamp, with great detail, for a REASONABLE price!


12. Contest – guess the “Most Popular Stamp set” and “Most Popular Paper” in last catalogue year! Blog contest - will announce the winner here and deliver the prize! (since not everyone here at the same time!)


13. FOLLOWERS on my blog! Thanks to Belinda and Cathie who responded to the request to become “Followers” – prizes to them!
