Cyber Monday! 50% OFF or BOGO!

Well, here it is, holiday shopping is upon us and in full force.  For alot of WAHMS, cyber Monday is a big day.  I'm hoping that my customers respond to the email I sent out and take advantage of the 50% OFF SALE at comfycozy.com.  There are quite a few glow in the dark pillowcase designs on sale, as well as cozy cover ups & pajama shirts for teens.  We have an entire collection of inspirational travel pillows for 50% OFF too.   If that isn't enough to help you mark off a few of the gifts you need to buy, everything else on our site is "BOGO" (that's Buy One Get One 1/2 Off!).

Just enter the code MCBOGO in the Comments box of the on-line order form.

Don't forget, Comfy Cozy will make every pillowcase more special by adding Personalization.

Make this a Christmas that will be lighting up the night all year long with a magical Glow in the Dark pillowcase.

Oh, and remember, Comfy Cozy products aren't just for kids!  Everyone can use a little inspiration or just a little fun in their lives.  Check out our "Eat Chocolate, Drink Wine, Sleep Naked" collection - perfect for wine and chocolate lovers.  Have some dog and cat owners on your list?  They'll love either the PUPPY LOVE or CAT NAP pillowcases!

Happy Cyber Monday and Happy Holidays!!

Snow. Business. Facebook.

I'm 3 weeks or so behind on posting.  This will be fast and furious - yeah right, from me that's kind of comical:)

Snow.  It snowed here in Southeastern PA last night.  Wasn't supposed to start til this morning.  A lovely surprise for 2 little boys and a puppy.  The dog had no idea what to do w/the stuff but the boys were ready for school faster than lightning so they could go play before school.  I love snow - as long as I can go play in it, don't have to drive in it and have a nice cozy fire to warm up to after being in it.  Feel sorry for those of you in the south that don't get it ever, or often.  Then again, some of you feel sorry for those of us that have to wear heavy coats and gloves for 5 months!

Business.  Sales of magical glow in the dark pillowcases are starting to pick up but not as much as I'd like.  Run, don't walk to your address book and send this link of our 50% off Sale to everyone you know.  Then ask them to forward it to everyone they forward every email they ever get too!  I'm looking for orders folks, so don't be shy.  They can post it on every blog they visit - maybe I should offer a commission??  One Free Pillowcase for every 6 orders referred to by someone!  Comfy Cozy glow in the dark pillowcases - what kid wouldn't love one under the Christmas Tree or for Hanukkah?  Plus there is that fun "Eat Chocolate Drink Wine Sleep Naked" design that I'm sure you could find a friend or 2 that would get a huge kick out of it!

Facebook.  I sign up.  I have a facebook page.  I'm not sure why lol!  I've spent way to much time on it.  Found some folks from high school and even have a few "friends" to speak of.  In addition to my SuperWahm friends, my facebook friends include a girl I cheered with at Charleston Catholic High School, my high school boyfriend (who is now a grandfather!) and another high school friend that is living in Bogata, Columbia and is a reporter for the NY Times and NPR.  I can't seem to figure out an easy way to find folks from the University of  Tennessee, but like I said, I've spent way too much time on it.  January would be a better time for this project.  I'm vowing to not look for anyone else until then.  

That's that.  Now, go send that link to your friends about the Comfy Cozy 50% off Sale!!!

What to do with "damages"??

I started this post yesterday afternoon - where did my "workday Wednesday" go? Actually, the post began on Tuesday after reading Lynn's. Which means where did Tuesday go, too??

At least I'm back in action, so I'll combine a few thoughts into one and hope I get thru it without interruption! Sometimes working at home means a lot of interruptions - the last couple days I wouldn't call myself a "superWAHM".

It all began as I was creating a newsletter for my customers about a special offer (40-50% OFF!) on a group of our travel pillows. When pulling a LOVE pillowcase out, I discovered that it didn't glow in the dark like it should:( The glow wasn't up to Comfy Cozy standards. That lead me to check on the HOPE, DREAM & BELIEVE pillowcases too. This batch of inventory was all printed at the same time by the same printer. UGH! None of them glow bright enough! I pride myself in the consistent quality of Comfy Cozy products and the only thing I can think happened is that someone accidentally looked at a sample from the old inventory and didn't catch the problem.

So, what is a wahm to do with inventory that isn't up to snuff? Most folks wouldn't even catch what I call is "damaged". That makes me proud of the high standards I've set. I could sell them, honestly - you'd never find the mistake! In the past I've donated products to CHOP (the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) and other charitable organizations. Even they have commented that "there is nothing wrong with these".

In this case, since the product also includes a travel pillow, donating them is a little trickier due to the size of the product. Shipping (see Lynn's post) would be expensive and the organizations don't have storage for even a few of them. I've always resisted selling "seconds" on my web site or taking them to a re-sale shop. This "opportunity" gives me a chance to re-think that and at the same time offer my customers a great deal!

These little pillows make great gifts for college students to toss around on their beds or cozy up w/ on the floor of the dorm. Teens and tweens love a pile of pillows in their beds - especially to share w/ friends when having sleepovers.
