Hello Grouponers….

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of a ragin’ deal.  This is the first time for me and I’m a bit overwhelmed as the amount of groupons bought so please be patient as we work through how to handle all of this.

Following is a review of what your groupon is eligible for and how this process will work.  Please understand that the process may change as we start redeeming Groupons.

To redeem your Groupon:
1.    If you would like to use your groupon towards a class:

a.    Call the store 619.460.2323 to tell us your name, class date and your coupon #

b.    We will let you know if there is space available and if not, when the next class will be scheduled or is scheduled for.

c.    There is a 72 hour cancellation policy for classes.  If you do not contact us for the cancellation, for any reason, that amount of the class will be deducted from your groupon total.  To confirm that we received your cancellation in time, we will e-mail you (so I will need your e-mail when you sign up for classes)

d.    The balance of your groupon may be used towards supplies bought during or after the class.  Because this is such a ragin’ deal no additional discounts may to be used with the groupon.

e.    Class sizes are small.  I do this so you obtain the maximum amount of the teachers attention and instruction.  Therefore, classes fill up quickly and with the amount of groupons sold your patience is appreciated as we schedule and book classes.  If there is a group of 3 or more of you (no more than 6) we can schedule a class just for you.  Please call the store for dates and details.

f.    We are working on April and May class schedules and should have that completed by the week of the March 8th.

g.    If you want to be notified that the new class schedule is up and on-line, please sign up for my monthly newsletter (I do not sell or give out your information and you may unsubscribe at any time) by going to our sign up page on our website www.thebouncingbead.com.

h.    Guest teacher classes are not valid with the groupon however, you may use it for class supplies (does not apply to supplies sold by the guest teacher) not being sold by the guest teacher.

1.    When you come in to use your Groupon please bring the following:

a.    Copy of the groupon you received via e-mail

b.    A picture ID to confirm that you belong with that groupon coupon

c.    If you purchased 1 or 2 additional as a gift but did not specify the person at the time you bought it you will need to do so either by e-mail giving us their name and the coupon number or you can notify us when you come in.  One coupon per person.

d.    We will keep track of the use of your groupon two ways:  1.  When you visit us and use the coupon we will mark down on your copy how much was used. 2. We will also keep track of it in a separate log book with the dates and how much was spent next to your name and coupon #.

1.    Limitations:

a.    There are some things (other than guest teachers) that the groupon is not valid for.

i.    Value items.  These items are marked with a sticker “value”. Trunk shows and consignment items are considered “Value” items even though there is no sticker… please ask when in the store.

ii.    Swarovski Flat Back Rhinestones… yeah, I carry these

iii.    50% off sale table

iv.    Groupon may not be combined with any other discounts…

1.    What you CAN purchase with your groupon:

a.    In house classes: Basic Beading, Intro to Wire, Basic Knotting, Simply Solder, Soldering Fun with Fire, Beads ‘n Chain, Punch ‘n Pound, Viking Knit… there are others and I don’t remember so check the class listings page.

b.    Semi-Precious Stones, both strands and loose, Swarovski Crystals, Glass beads (Czech and vintage), supplies, findings, buttons, etc.

c.    Some of my finished jewelry…  Pieces I may be willing to part with.

d.    Base metal chain and findings

Thank you for your interest and support of our store! We look forward to meeting you and feeding your inner creativity. If you have any questions, please contact us by phone (619.460.2323) or email (webmaster@thebouncingbead.com). We’ll see you soon!

Just wanted to update on The Blog the store hours.

Monday – Saturday 10am – 6pm

Sunday – Closed

We are hosting a Creative Artistry Show on February 13th in the village of La Mesa. See poster below for more details.

Grand Re-opening Sale!

October 16th – 18th we will be having our grand re-opening sale in our new location!

Trust me… you do NOT want to miss this weekend!

WHY?

1. Trunk show with Grace Beads. A trunk show is where an artist sends me their beads and we have them for sale for a short time, in this case, Friday – Sunday. These beads are… FANTASTIC.

2. Christi Friesen is here to teach her wonderful polymer clay classes. One is already full and there is space left in the other three. All levels are welcome.

3. I went shopping… I bought some REALLY cool stuff. Don’t miss out!

4. We have Swarovski Crystals to give away, we will have drawings, we will have prize bags… basically “spooktacular” (I couldn’t help myself) Fun.

Come see the new store and our new look! We are so excited for these changes and we want to share this new beginning with you!

We are now open in our new location so come by and say hi! For sanity sakes we will be CLOSED on Monday Sept. 21st.

We’ll have a Dollar table and a 50% off table we will also be putting on other things in the store on sale… The sale starts this Friday September 4th and runs through Monday September 7th (Labor Day)…  Hours for Labor day will be 11 – 4.
