New Spring/Summer Collection - NEW PRICING!

I have many updates to share with you regarding the exciting launch of the new Spring/Summer Collection catalogue! Where to start, where to start??

Since $$ is on everyone's mind at this time of the year (watching your hard-earned dollar so quickly leave your wallet seemingly every 5 mins) I have some GREAT NEWS to share with all of you!

We've all heard about Canadian pricing coming down in almost every sector of retail... well, Stampin' Up! is committed to reviewing their pricing as each new catalogue is released. They look at several factors to determine pricing including competitive analysis and the value of the good ole' Canadian loonie! You're going to find that the new Spring/Summer Collection catalogue has LOWER PRICES printed in the catalogue - launching January 2, 2008!

BUT, that's not all...

Stampin' Up! is happy to announce that the prices in the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 are going down even further! With further evaluation of current circumstances, they have decided that the pricing warrants a further reduction of 7%! How very exciting!!

Unfortunately, the timing required to determine the catalogue pricing meant that this additional reduction was not ready in time for printing, so the prices listed in the Spring-Summer 2008 Collection, as well as the upcoming Occasions 2008 Mini Collection will be inaccurate.

The pricing adjustment will be valid for the full cycle of the catalogue, including the upcoming mini, so to help with this new pricing structure, I will provide you with a price conversion sheet that you can keep with your catalogue. I will post an announcement when this list is available.

With the adjustments in Canadian pricing, many other factors have been considered:

Starter Kit: The price of the starter kit will remain at the new, lower price of $260, as printed in the new catalogue, so a further 7% reduction will not apply. The kit remains a fantastic value.

Hostess Benefits Plan: There will be one change to the hostess benefits chart, effective until June 30, 2008. The current level for a hostess to qualify for benefits is $225, and SU! has dropped this amount to $200! All other levels and details will remain the same. With the lower pricing, when you (as a hostess) reach your hostess benefits levels, your free product dollars will now go further than before!

Another update I wanted to provide was the status of the New Spring/Summer Collection Catalogues...

I'm so thrilled to tell you that I very well may receive my shipment of preordered catalogues earlier than expected! If they arrive when Canada Post indicates they should be here, they will be arriving on Monday Dec 24th MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US! IF, they do arrive on this date, I would like to have my New Catalogue Launch on December 27th so stay tuned for more details on this event to be posted shortly.

Thanks for stopping by today - especially since there was such good news to share :o)
