Fragrance Bar Crisis Resolved

Okay, I've loaded all our new and returning Holiday scents under the New Scents section of our Fragrance Bar. Thank you for your patience. Of course, it was a user-generated error and I apparently broke some kind of HTML code. Surprise, surprise. I'm the dangerous type of "coder." I know just enough to get by, but if I break something...I know nothing of how to fix it because I don't really understand the error message it's giving me! As my mum would say in Tagalo, "Ay naku!" (Translated to something like Oy vey I think.)

Anyway, so I sent the newsletter out then went to bed. I woke up this morning to an inbox full of e-mails inquiring about the sale. As I read through them, I realized that there was a common thread to the questions. So here are the 2 questions I got asked most.

1. Why did you drop the limit to qualify for Global Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope/Box?

We dropped it from $50 to $40 because technically, with the 25% off discount, you'd actually be able to purchase $62.50 worth of Holiday sale goodies for $50. $62.50 worth of merch will definitely not fit in a flat rate box or envelope. Due to the sale, $50 worth of merchandise will only actually cost $37.50 so we had to make this adjustment to our shipping to accomodate for the discount.

2. This is a big discount. Are you going to have a bigger sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Broke Tuesday (I made this one up, tee hee!)

No. We're going to have a special sale for Black Friday, but nothing as big as the one we're currently running. For Black Friday, we're going to be offering our Holiday Gift sets, taking down the entire Fragrance Bar, but keeping the Holiday scents around. We'll have a special coupon code for newsletter subscribers only (so please don't forget to subscribe) that's good for a percentage off your entire purchase. So it basically works out to this: For this week, till Thursday, November 26th, you can enjoy 25% off our Holiday goodies or wait till next week and enjoy a smaller discount, but it will be off your entire purchase (that's our gift sets and holiday goodies.) Does that make sense?

We've been talking about our holiday sales schedule here at CLC and we've been bouncing ideas around since September so please know that we put a lot of thought and preparation into this. We wanted to have staggered sales and promotions so if one doesn't appeal to you, then maybe the next one will.

As always, we thank you and deeply appreciate your support of CLC.


'Tis all!
