More Bang For Your Buck!

New Possibilities for the Clearance Items June 28, 2013 Until now, clearance items have been limited to demonstrator and online orders to ensure that product was available at the time of purchase. When the Hostess Code was introduced, it became possible to add clearance items and to have them included on workshop orders. To make it even easier to add clearance items to any type of order, we have lifted the ban on placing clearance items on workshop orders.  We still strongly recommend that customers order clearance items on online orders or workshop orders via a hostess code to guarantee availability. Customers may add clearance items to her paper order (for a customer or workshop order), but because clearance items are only available while supplies last, it's possible that the item will not be available with the order is submitted Spread the word and this will help you get the most bang for your buck! Don't Forget the Hostess Code for this month until July 14th is    AKTZTPAV  See below on how to do this and if your name is picked you win all the benefits for that month! Stay cool...........Only 117 degrees in Phoenix the next couple of days.... UGH.

July Mystery Hostess Code....

Do YOU WANT TO BE THE NEXT MYSTERY HOSTESS WINNER? I am now able to pool small online orders together using a Hostess Code.   This is exciting because I can now do a drawing with my customers that use the hostess code  and pass the hostess benefits to the winner.  You will order like you always have at my online store,  but enter a hostess code and your order will ship directly to you - within the US only.  When smaller orders are put in together, the larger order qualifies for HOSTESS BENEFITS.  This could be from $25 to the sky is the limit.  Hostess benefits will be determined by the pool of orders received using the hostess code. That means FREE STAMPS (or other products) I can SHARE with YOU! So let’s get started with July’s Online Mystery Hostess Workshop!
How do you get to be part of the Mystery Hostess Workshop? Simply use the Hostess Code below and place a minimum order of $50 (before tax and shipping) in my online store by midnight July 14, 2013. Important: To be part of the Online Mystery Hostess Workshop, once you add your first item to your shopping bag the hostess code must be entered just below the Special Offers section and it should say Linda Zook as the Hostess. Once all the orders are placed, by midnight on July 14th, I will draw ONE name to get hostess benefits on the entire order! I will email the winner to get your choices.
Your Hostess Code is: AKTZTPAV
Ready – Set – GO!! http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stampinsista/ Remember, the deadline for this event is 12:00 pm on Sunday, July 14, 2013.
