Hello there. For those of you who are not familiar with me yet, my name is Erin. I am pleased to be the first person to blog on our website. Each week Art-ifex will be sharing tidbits on different subjects and upcoming events that we’re involved with; whether it be a new beading technique or perhaps even how to tell if a jewelry piece is quality or not. Heck, if you have a particular subject you would like to know more on, shoot us an email, we’d be happy to feature our next article dedicated to your question. No matter the subject we hope you stay posted…
Upcoming Events and New Happenings:
It seems that while spring fever blossoms closer to summer, more and more events are popping up out of nowhere which is a wonderful opportunity for us to share our work with many people. Now that our website is running successfully and flourishing, we are exploring many avenues of business opportunities during a time that the economy seems to be quite harsh.
Recently we displayed our work for 2nd Saturday in front of the wonderful restaurant Zocalo (my personal favorite) and we plan to continue 2 nd Saturday for a while. Lucky for anyone who stops by, the next 2 nd Saturday falls on May 8 th (just before Mother’s Day) so this will be a great opportunity for a gift for any Mom. The weather should be inspiring to be outdoors!
Next on our public event list is a Fashion Show at CSUS (my alma mater) coming up on 4.30.10 at 7pm, and the event sounds amazing. Boutiques, Designers, models…..it all sounds enticing, ey? We were fortunate enough to be invited to this event. Some of the models will be wearing our pieces on the runway, and we will also have a table. Feel free to check it out.
As for new happenings, we have decided to introduce jewelry parties to our company. We have a few of these parties planned already which should be a great deal of fun. What makes these events wonderful is that they are a win-win for everyone. The host of the party (this could be you) will earn 20% of all sales from their party in Art-ifex jewelry credit. The host can make the party as simple or extravagant as they wish (in-fact we have an entire brochure that lists all of the incentives and specifics). Their guests are all there to enjoy trying on our jewelry (all of which is one-of-a-kind) and if they choose to purchase, of course they may. If you have ever attended a jewelry party, you know they can be a ton of fun.
And last but not least we have introduced a great Early-Bird Mother’s Day incentive: Free shipping and no tax on any online purchase between now and this Sunday (4/25/10). Check it out! If I were you, I wouldn’t wait. Remember, Art-ifex makes one-of-a-kind jewelry and if you let something you like pass you by now, it very likely won’t be there next time.
That’s it for now. Check in with us next week for something new. Wishing you a joyous week!
-Erin, Art-ifex Designer
