Advent Calendar for the Hand Spinner
It's the countdown to Christmas. A friend asked me today whether I have bought an advent calendar. I haven't, but it got me thinking about doing something more interesting.
Some not-so-good news is that Ashford's new retail prices came into effect on 1 November. For the last month I've been selling at my old (already discounted) prices while buying at their new prices. Now I have the long and unpleasant job of going through the site updating my prices. happily, they'll still be less than the new RRP.
With that in mind, I've decided to make a special offer to my Twitter followers and newsletter subscribers every day between now and Christmas. (There's nothing stopping anyone from joining in at any time by subscribing to the newsletter or starting to follow me on Twitter.)
You'll get details of each day's offer via Twitter or by email. You'll be able to add the item to your cart if you want. Postage will be as per the regular arrangements, ie based on the value of your cart up to £30 and then free after that.
Quantities will be limited. Sometimes there will be plenty, and will depend on my stock, and sometimes it'll be a one-off. Maybe something that's not on the site. Sometimes it'll be something small, but I have one or two bigger items in mind too. If the offer has sold out, then Paypal will tell you when you check out.
I'll send out information about that day's offer in the morning before 9am. Each offer will be removed 24 hours later.
It would be good to hear what you think. What you'd like to see on this advent calendar, or what's on your Christmas list! Contact me
