Summer 2011 Newsletter  with Free Swarovski Bicone Offer 

Greetings!

 

Phew....Canada Post is back in business and we are glad to be using their fantastic services to ship again!  June has been a long and quiet month and we are looking forward to a busier July.  I guess you could say we had our summer holidays a little earlier than expected:)

Thank you so much for your patience during this period- we really appreciate your understanding.

Our summer newsletter is packed full of new items and interesting tidbits for our customers, including a giveaway of FREE SWAROVSKI BICONES for qualifying orders!!!

We hope you are enjoying some sunshine and wish you and yours the most fantastic Canada Day Weekend.  And to our American customers....Happy 4th of July in advance to you too:)


Sincerely,
Hollie and Brian

 

INTRODUCING PRICE BREAK DISCOUNTING!

Yes, it is finally here...fair pricing for all our customers, whether you are an avid hobbyist or professional artist.  The more you spend, the more you save.  We are pleased to announce the following discounting structure is in effect: 

Buy More, Save More  

 

This applies to any normal sale items, clearance items or bulk items too....so the savings really can add up!  You do not have to buy a huge amount of the same thing either. The discount comes off of your subtotal before tax and shipping.  Yay for saving money! 

Making Your Shopping Experience a Little Easier...

We have been making a few changes to the functionality of our website to make your shopping experience more simple and fun!

1) We now have a 'quantity' button on the main listing page so you can quickly enter the number of goodies you want without having to go into the detailed product description or shopping cart!

2) We have tidied up our front page to look a little sleeker and fresher.  The 'Buy Now' buttons are a better shade of green than the previous sludgy mustard color!

3) We have spaced out our categories listing at the left hand side so that they are easier to read.

4) We have condensed the 'view my account info' page so that you can access all your information about your account and order history quickly.

5) Our coupon codes FINALLY work with the Internet Secure Payment Gateway. (Okay, this is our favorite because it has been such a long time in coming!)

We hope you enjoy the changes to the website, and if you haven't seen them for yourself yet, come on over for a visit!

Swarovski Color Focus at The Beading Room

 

Is it pink, or is it orange?
CRYSTAL ASTRAL PINK-
a new color effect (coating) that is so stunning we cannot photograph it properly!  Try as we might our lights always turn it orange- but the orange crystal actually has a vivid pink coating which just gives this an unusual and eye-catching effect. Looks gorgeous paired with jet and crystal.
*currently available only in the Devoted 2 U Heart Pendant above, but more shapes on the way!
