Ok so a wizard is a bit much--I'm a pretty normal guy that has been marketing stuff for the past 11 years. I live in a small community just north of Salt Lake City, UT with a great wife and a good dog.
When CropChocolate.com started it was just me. Thanks to all of YOU, within a short few months CropChocolate.com has become a company 11 strong. We have a warehouse staff, a customer service staff, a marketing team, a developer, and we just brought on a product manager to give a broader depth of product. Enough about us though, let's talk about YOU!
At CropChocolate.com we are continually looking for SWEET deals. What's more, we are continually looking for ways to involve you in the sweetness. We've added a comment section and user profiles. Coming soon, we will introduce pages that you can create to chat with folks in your area, meet other scrappers, share ideas and more.
Our newest idea comes as we have listened to you, read your posts on CropChocolate.com, and read you ideas on The Crop. We have a whole bunch of new product coming into our warehouse in the next few weeks and we're trying to make room by selling out old stuff. We've done a pretty good job these past few weeks making room for the new stuff thanks to you.
As the new stuff arrives, our product manager will be sorting out kits and scheduling out dates. She will be looking for CropChocolate.com customers to evaluate those kits--actually, better said, she will be sending out free product to interested customers to design. We will take those designs and show them on CropChocolate.com when the product is featured.
While learning about the scrapbooking industry, we have seen several industry stars rise through blogs, boutiques and the like. At CropChocolate.com, we want to give a platform to be the "the like" for our customers. We want to give you a place to showcase your designs!
Here's what we want from you; send an email to sales [at] cropchocolate.com to let us know you're interested in participating. We will confirm we've received your email and contact you about what you are most interested in designing. When we find a product that might be down your alley--card making, page designs, tags or embellishing--we will ship you the product for free and give you the deadline (2 weeks or more) for when we need pictures of your design submitted. Each design will be tied to the product(s) and to YOU, the designer.
Like I said earlier, I am no wizard, especially when it comes to scrapbooking but YOU are!
Sincerely,
Jon N.
