I've had to stop taking custom orders during this past couple of weeks, but have been creating some pretty fun arrangements to fill the orders I already had.
 |
| "The Banana Boyz" diaper cake for a custom order. Contained 45 diapers, 2 spoons, bpa free plate, receiving blanket, 4 snack containers and the plush monkey. |
 |
| Big Top Circus diaper cake contained 85 diapers (size 4), 6 washcloths, 10 forks/spoons, 2 finger puppets, 3 pairs of 12-24 month socks and a Little People clown car. Designed for a very special 1 year old :) |
 |
| Patch the Pirate Puppy diaper cake. Contained 60 diapers, 2 receiving blankets, 3 pairs of socks, 3 washcloths, 2 bibs, snack container and plush puppy toy. |
I have also been making some special plans for the business.
Starting October 7th, Memorably Sweet will be offering a referral incentive to any customer who refers someone. If your referral results in a sale of $20 or more, you receive 5% off your next order. Its that simple. I'll also be introducing a very exciting new line of candy bouquets and candy arrangements to add even more sweetness to the product lineup! I will also now be requesting a 50% non-refundable deposit on all custom orders to help with the cost of supplies. I hope everyone will understand why I am doing this. I want to ensure that I can continue using quality items in my creations, and this will help me purchase the supplies that I need to complete the order.
Not to be forgotten are the new Christmas items. I am currently narrowing down the multitude of ideas that I have, and am hoping to have samples ready for launch by October 15th.
In craft show news, Memorably Sweet is booked for 2 shows this holiday season. On October 27th, we will be at Cole Harbour Place in Dartmouth for the HRM Artisans Mom fair. I will have a variety of candy bouquets, Christmas cloth creations, a brand new diaper cake offering made especially for baby's First Christmas, and a very special candy item for which a portion of total sales will be donated to Prostate Cancer Canada, a cause which I have chosen because of my father, a prostate cancer survivor. I'm excited about this one, but won't be launching them until the day of the show on October 27, which is suiting because it is only days before Movember begins.
I'm also booked for November 30th at Cole Harbour Place for a Christmas craft show. I will be showcasing all things Christmas at this one, my absolute favorite time of year.
For Christmas holidays, Memorably Sweet will be closed between December 16th and January 3rd to allow me time to celebrate with my husband, our son and our extended family. All Christmas arrangements should be ordered no later than December 8th, with December 15th being the last available delivery/pickup date for any orders.
Its exciting times around here. I can't wait to share the new products with everyone!
