HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January may be half over already, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! And what a wonderful year it is shaping up to be.
If you haven’t visited our new store, at
Along with the new store, the New Year, and having been in business nearly 12 months, we thought it was a good time now to review shop procedures. Some are new, others remain unchanged, but here they are for reference anyway.
HOLDS
All items may be held for a strictly 5 days maximum. If a customer does not return to either purchase the product or lay by the product, then it will simply be returned to the shop shelf after 5 days.
LAY BYS
A lay by information sheet is given to customers on placing a lay by. These conditions include 10% deposit, fortnightly payments and strictly 8 week maximum duration. Any lay bys not collected after 8 weeks will be returned to the shelf and a $10 fee will be kept.
CLASSES
Class bookings will now only be taken after a $10 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit has been paid. If a cancellation is made more than 24 hrs prior to the class, then your $10 deposit may be moved to another class or used for a product. If you cancel less than 24 hours prior to the class or if you do not attend, then the $10 WILL NOT be transferred.
CROPS
We have unfortunately had to increase the cost of our crop nights to $12 – per person. We believe this is still however fantastic value for money and are looking forward to Friday 30th Jan 2009 for our first crop. Please remember to book in and please also phone if you have booked in and are unable to attend.
LOYALITY CARD
We currently offer customers a very generous loyalty system, where a stamp is given for each $10 spent and when the card is full with 20 stamps, the card can be redeemed for $20 of product at the next visit. The card is only stamped for product purchased, not classes attended, and it is also not stamped at crop nights as a 10% discount already applies to products purchased during classes and crops.
CASUAL SCRAPPING
We have found lately, especially with our state of the art workshop and huge range of equipment available for customer use, that the workshop is getting lots of use by ladies popping in to use the punches, stamps, cricut, zutter binder etc or just sit for a while and scrap. This equipment until now has been free to use, but as you could understand there is wear and tear and the need for maintenance. For these reasons amongst others, we have decided to charge what we think is a very fair flat rate of $5 per person to use specific workshop equipment, or to sit and crop with their own stash and have access to shop equipment and staff expertise. This of course includes tea, coffee, hot chocolate and use of amenities.
I think that just about covers everything. If I think of anything else, I will just have to do another blog!
Finally, here's the Feb calendar. Apologies for taking so long to post the details. Photos of class projects will follow shortly.
We are currently working on March and April calendars, which should be available soon.
