Hello Sampler Friends!
I’ve got some big news to announce, and for some of you it might seem like bad news but I hope it ends up making the Sampler better.
I’ve decided that for the time being, we will stop monthly Samplers and switch to “quarterly”. The plan is to have March, as expected but then limit the remainder to June, September, and December. In 2011 I’d expect the first to be February and then follow with June, September and December again. Each Sampler will be limited to 200, and will be on sale until they sell out.
In addition to the Quarterly Samplers, I will still be representing contributors at events. The planned events are: the Oscars, MTV Movie Awards, the Emmys, and the American Music Awards (and in 2011 adding in the Golden Globe event).
My goal is to keep everything about the Sampler the same, just with less Samplers. With the economy the way it is, crafters cannot contribute as much as they’d like and I hope that by limiting the number of mailings, we can create better Samplers. If everyone is only participating 4 times a year, imagine how awesome the Samplers will be! I announced this news to Sampler contributors last week, and the response has been great! Everyone is very excited to participate in these new Samplers.
I really hope you all see this the same as I do…a chance to keep the Sampler going, making happy customers, and getting indie designers some exposure. I love the Sampler with all my heart, and know that 2010 will be an awesome year for us!
There’s a lot more specific info about the Samplers within this new site, but don’t worry…I’ll make sure you have all the details before you place any orders!
While I finish up this site, I’ll keep the old site up. You can visit it by clicking on “old site” in the header above.
If you’d like to participate in the March Sampler, let me know! We will still accept contributions until February 26th.
Thanks for all your support.
