More Of Your Launch Questions Answered

Q. What Is The Launch Time If I Live In The United Kingdom?

If you live in the UK, the launch time is 2 p.m. on Friday, 2nd October 2009.

Q. I Really Want One Of The Fast Mover Bonuses! Will They Be Available In The eShop?

Yes, the kits that are being given away as Fast Mover Bonuses will also be available in the eShop. And you’ll be able to use your Club discount when you order them (if you choose to join Club).

But of course, if you order your Christmas Bundle when it launches at 2pm (GMT+1) on Friday (2nd October) then you could be in with a chance of being one of those lucky people to get those thrown in as bonuses.

Q. I Live Outside The United Kingdom. Can I Still Order The Christmas Bundle?

Yes. If you live outside the UK you can still order anything from our eShop, including the Christmas Bundle.

No matter where you are - USA, New Zealand, The Netherlands, South Africa…

This is an international card making site so it really doesn’t matter whereabouts in the world you are. You can order with a valid credit card, debit card or via Paypal. And you can use a currency converter [like this one] to give you an idea of what your order will be in your currency. Here’s more information about being an international customer…

Q. I Live Outside The United Kingdom. How Can I Tell What £15.99 GBP Is In My Currency

You can use a currency converter [like this one here]. But please bear in mind that the exchange rate changes every day and so this will be a rough indication only.

Q. I Live Outside The United Kingdom. What’s The Launch Time For Me?

To find out the time in your time zone, you can visit this time converter, select ‘Use The Following Date/Time’, set it to 2pm (or 14:00), in the ‘From Time Zone’ select ‘GMT+1′, and in the next box select your time zone.

Q. I Have A Mac. Would I Still Be Able To Use Your Kits, Access The Club Portal & Use The eBooks?

Yes. You can access the online Club portal with a Mac, no problem.

And you can also use the eKits and eBooks too because they’re in a ‘universal’ format that can be opened on Macs too.

If you have any comments or feedback, then leave a comment below! But if you have a specific question you can contact us via our shiny new support desk here… Obviously this is a really busy time for us, but we will try to respond to everyone who contacts us (via the support desk) with a launch-related enquiry before our official launch on Friday.

See you at launch everyone! 2 p.m. (GMT+1) on Friday, 2nd October 2009. Yay!

Wow! 1608 people have now jumped onto the Christmas Priority Notification List (remember you can get your free samples that way too!)

If you’re wondering what all the buzz is about, it’s because of the special deal that I’m doing for you on Friday, called the Early-Bird Bundle Of Christmas Goodies. The launch is on Friday, 2nd October at 2pm (London time) and there’s an incredible buzz of excitement building!

I’ve been getting lots of emails from people with final questions, so I’ve tried my best to answer the most common questions below. But before I get to your questions…

Here’s a recap of what’s coming on Friday. It’s a special deal that will last for 7 days only. You’ll get:

• The Vintage Christmas eKit AND
• The Funky Christmas eKit AND
• The Christmas Doodles eKit AND
• 30 Days Free Membership to our Card Making Club*

* Please note that the 30 days free Club trial is for new members only.

That bundle is worth £51.12 [GBP] (that’s about $82 USD). But for one week only, I’m going to give it to you for only £15.99 [GBP] (which is about $25 USD at the time of writing this update). 

How’s that for value?

Plus, if you get in early, you’ll get even more bonuses!

Yep! As if that isn’t an amazing deal already, I’m also throwing in some amazing Fast Mover Bonuses:

• The first 50 people who order 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 due to the mad rush. Seriously! And 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 to get those Fast Mover Bonuses.

If you want more details on what you’ll get in the Special Deal, check out my previous blog post here for two of my video updates…

I’ve been getting lots of messages from people with final questions, so I’ve done my best to answer the most common questions below:

1. I live outside the UK. Can I still buy the bundle?

Yes. Making-Handmade-Cards.com is an international site. Looooads of people have ordered the bundle from all over the world. That includes people from the UK, The Netherlands, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and many other countries.

Yes. You can pay by Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron, Solo, Maestro, American Express, or via your Paypal Account.

4. I haven’t been able to view the videos - can I still see card samples?

Yes. Visit the galleries pages here, here, and here. You’ll see photos of some card samples there. All of them use basic card supplies and the 3 main kits in the Christmas Bundle Of Goodies.

5. Belle asks, ‘Can we purchase more than one bundle? I’m thinking this will make a FAB christmas present for some of my crafty buddies!’

Yes you can purchase more than one bundle for friends. Just be sure to provide them with the receipt number so that they have proof of purchase. And please also direct them to the Terms & Conditions page on the main site (especially if they want to sell their cards).

6. I won’t be able to order at 2pm so I’ll miss the Fast Mover Bonuses. Is it still worth going for the deal?

Well, let’s just forget about the Fast Mover Bonuses for a minute, ok?

This special deal is worth £51.12 [GBP] (that’s about $82 USD). But for one week only, I’m going to give it to you for only £15.99 [GBP] (which is about $25 USD at the time of writing this update).

Reckon that’s a good deal?

I’d say it’s an incredible deal.

7. I ordered the Bundle Of Christmas Goodies last year - are these the same ones?

Yes. The three main eKits are the very same that I first released last year. So I’m sure you’ll remember those servers crashing and the web site going down after that mad rush! Ha ha!

Bottom line - if you got the Bundle last year, you already have these eKits. The only new kit is the Albert Grove eKit that will go to the first 25 people who make an order.

Who, What, Where, When?

Where? If you’re on the Priority List then I’ll email you on Thursday with details of where the order page will be.  If you’re not on the Priority List, then you won’t get this heads up, so make sure you get on there if you want to try getting those Fast Mover Bonuses.

When? If you live in the UK, the launch time will be 2 p.m. on Friday, 2nd October ‘09. If you live outside the UK, you can check what 2 p.m. GMT+1 is in your Time Zone here….

Since the first few people to order will get those fabulous Fast Mover Bonuses, the launch time is important (2 pm London time). Good luck everyone!

The special deal will last for 7 days only. After that, this special deal will go away. So grab it while you can.

All the best

Please post your comments below…

.

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

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!

Hi! Claire here!

Wow! What a response to my last newsletter! I’m so glad you all liked the Vintage Christmas card ideas so much!

In fact, 331 of you jumped onto the Priority Notification List to make sure you got notified of the eKit’s release. So thank you everyone for your interest and support! I really appreciate it and I will be sure to let you know more when I can reveal more (I think you’ll like what I’ve cooked up for you).

Speaking of which, I have two big apologies to make before giving you today’s free card making goodies…

First, many of you were so excited about the Vintage card ideas that you wanted to get the eKit straight away. We were flooded with queries, ‘Where do I get the eKit?’

So please let me apologize…

… these newsletters are sneaky peeks because the eKits aren’t available at the moment.

But the good news is that they will be available shortly, and what’s more, I’m putting together something with them that I think you’ll like. I know - cryptic, right? I promise all will be revealed soon. Just sign up to the Priority Notification List here if you want to find out.

*Claire hangs her head in shame.*

I honestly hadn’t realized that so many people would be so interested in the Vintage eKit (you’d think I would have learned by now).

And due to an overwhelming response to my last newsletter, our web site experienced a small technical glitch, which meant that some pages weren’t redirecting as they should’ve been. So I’m truly very sorry if you experienced problems accessing pages on our web site around that time. Thankfully everything’s now fixed and working fabulously. Phew!

OK, enough of my grovelling for forgiveness…

Today I have more card making treats for you…

Don’t I spoil you rotten?
