Tidy Tushees Times
July 2010


Welcome to July!
Finally! The warm weather is making an appearance and we're able to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors with our babies!

We're very excited by the number of new families joining our service and those that are making the foray into cloth diapering on their own - it isn't as hard as everyone thinks, is it?!

We estimate that we will launder nearly 8000 diapers this coming month!

I am very excited to announce that I am in the running for the SavvyMom Entrepeneur of the Year Award again and I hope that you will take a moment to vote for me (link below) and to ask friends and family to do the same. This award would allow me to make the fabulous world of cloth diapering even more accessible and fun for more families.

We are finalizing expansion plans and are very excited to announce that we will be offering service from Vernon down to Penticton starting this September! So if you're due any time after September 1 or know someone who is - get in touch and we'll set up a consultation to show you all the ins and outs of our service! Please note that fuel surcharges may be applicable.

The newly introduced HST has some pros and cons for our customers. Unfortunately, our Diaper Service is now subject to 12% tax (whereas it used to be 5%). I encourage you to write your MLA as I have done and express your opinion about tax rebates for families that make the environmentally and healthier choice of cloth diapering - the resources saved are tremendous. Hey, if Sweden can lobby for tax rebates for "green" families, why can't we? The pro is that they have not applied the HST to cloth diapers, covers, potty training supplies or feminine hygiene products. You will receive a point of sale rebate on these items (in other words the tax will not be added). GST is still applicable. In addition, our out-of-province customers will not be charged the HST. This tax goes into effect July 1.

To help reduce the burden on our families, we would like to extend the following offer to our Diaper Service customers and those considering service.

Pre-Pay and Save!
Pre-Pay for 12 weeks of service and save 5%
Pre-Pay for 26 weeks of service and save 10%
Pre-Pay for 52 weeks of service and save 12%
and
receive wipes service for FREE for the entire year!
*Discounts can be applied to diaper and wipes service
*Should you cancel your service prior to using all of your pre-paid weeks, you will be credited or refunded for the unused weeks less the discount.

Please contact us to set up your pre-payment and start saving - we'll even back date to start your savings for the month of July!
Offer expires August 30th, 2010.

We are reducing our hours slightly for the summer months:
Tuesday - Thursday 9am - 5pm
Fridays 9am - 12pm

Your questions and comments are always welcome and appreciated, so do get in touch!

Happy Diapering!
