So to recap…

If you order the Christmas Bundle of Goodies during launch week, you can try the club for 30 days…for free! Yep! Free!

When you order the Christmas Bundle, we’ll send you a free coupon to try the club. Try the club for 30 days for free, on us!

If you like it, you’ll pay only £5.15 [GBP] per month (from month #2 onwards). If you don’t like it, simply let us know before your 30 day trial period ends, and we’ll cancel your subscription. No questions asked. In fact, even if you choose to stay as a Club Member, you can cancel any time you like. Simple, easy, and no strings attached.

But what if you don’t want to try the club, but you do want to order the Christmas Bundle?

That’s easy too! The free Club coupon comes with the Bundle, but it’s up to you whether you use it or not. It’s just our little gift to you. But you don’t have to use it. So you don’t have to use the free Club coupon if you don’t want to.

(Although I recommend that you do because you get lots of free goodies for 30 days, including a free ebook and a 10% discount!)

So to recap…

Here’s what you get in the Special Christmas Bundle Deal during this forthcoming launch week…

• The Christmas Doodles eKit
• The Funky Christmas eKit
• And the Vintage Christmas eKit
• Plus 30 days free access to our popular and fun online card making club!

And as if this deal couldn’t get any better, I’m also going to throw in some bonuses to the first few people who order…

Now before I tell you more about the bonuses, I’d like to tell you a short story.

Last year, I launched the very same Christmas Bundle of Goodies, for the very first time. Oh those were the days. I was young. Innocent. Didn’t have a clue really, ha ha!

Don’t get me wrong… the launch was an immense success. Hundreds of people bought the Christmas Bundle. But…

What I didn’t bank on… was how many people wanted to get the Bonuses. Literally hundreds of people pounded my servers during the first two or three hours of launch. So much so, that my servers crashed and the site went down for two hours!

Now, don’t worry - we’ve now got new, meaty servers that are big and strong enough (hopefully!) to handle the demand. But…

My point is… that was my first ever launch. I definitely didn’t have over 15,000 subscribers on my mailing list. So how quickly do you think those bonuses are going to go this time?

Exactly.

So my advice is… be there at 2 pm (British time) on Friday to be in with a chance of getting your Fast Mover Bonuses. And keep those fingers crossed.

OK, so what are these fantastic Fast Mover Bonuses I keep speaking about then?

• The first 50 people will get the Original Christmas eKit and the Christmas Greetings eKit.
• The first 25 people will get the (brand new) Albert Grove eKit, Original Christmas eKit and the Christmas Greetings eKit.
• The first 5 people will get the (brand new) Albert Grove eKit, Original Christmas eKit and the Christmas Greetings eKit plus a £10 (GBP) gift voucher (about $16 USD).

But remember - last time I launched the Christmas Bundle (last year) so many people tried to order to get the Fast Mover Bonuses that my servers crashed. Although we have brand new, stronger servers now, my mailing list is a lot bigger, so you’ll need to order your Bundle at 2pm to be in with a chance!

OK, that’s it from me today. Feel free to post your questions and comments below! I’ll do my best to answer the most common questions in another post, before launch day.

Good luck everyone!
