Getting the word out

Lip Balm / Beeswax - Pomegranate PeachI have teamed up with a great shop called FaceBodyFeet which sells soaps, bubble bath, lip balm, body butters and scrubs... and much more!

With each other that I send out my customers will be supplied with a sample of one of these fabulous products for them to try out.  In exchange FaceBodyFeet will be sending with their orders a cool sample of my Two-tone Thank You Cards to give out to someone special!

We believe that our shops will be able to enhance the customer experience for all, as well generating more traffic for our shops!

Do you have a great idea for generating traffic to your shop?  If so, please leave me a comment on how.  Or if you would be interested in joining us with this sampling experiment...please speak up! :)

Start off February with a beat...

January was a good month with $14 being donated to Feeding America!  Thank you to those wonderful customers that helped us donate to such a wonderful cause.

February is a new month and with it brings us a new charity!  10% of all purchases in February will be donated to Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation.  Both my spouse and I have a love for music and the movie by the same name.  Michael Kamen, musical composer for the movie, started this foundation with a commitment for the future of music education.  New and refurbished instruments are donated to programs that are not able to have the resources due to equipment loss.  If you wish to read more, please click on the link above.

Please join us in supporting this great program!

February is coming!

We are proud of our successful January charity to Feeding America and are looking for a charity to support in February. Looking for something that at least supports nationally, possibly worldwide?

Please let us know your thoughts on what charity we should pick for 10% of our sales to go to next month!

RED for AIDS www.redcampaign.org or Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation www.mhopus.org/ which helps students get musical instruments or ??

Feeding America in January

After the holidays a lot of people lose the "giving" attitude. The visibility of charities declines--their bells don't ring outside the grocery stores, and people stop thinking about digging into their wallets for spare change. 

We at Leave Your Mark want to make sure that the "giving" attitude didn't end for us at the end of December.  Because of that, we started January off with a pledge to donate 10% of all purchases to Feeding America and we think it has gone over pretty well.  The total donation thus far is 14 dollars, which might seem small but when you multiple that by the 8 people that will be fed by each dollar ... we are able to help fill 112 bellies!  To us, that's awesome . . . let us know if you agree. =)
