Doldrums news, news and more news.
Better start with the "bad". After many years
of keeping my prices the same, I am finally at the point of having to increase
the prices of my dolls. They have been US59 for many years and I have loved
being busy and able to keep prices affordable for everyone. Most of my stock is
from the States and the Aussie dollar has been great the last few years but
this is starting to change for the worse again. As of the 1st of August the
dolls will be US79.00. As many of you know the process of needle felting takes many
many hours and
and it was time to make the decision to finally increase my prices. I have also had a lot of interest
from shops who would like to stock the dolls and this has previously been a
dilemma as I didn't want to make the prices different in store and directly
from me but I just couldn't afford to lose anymore money of the dolls without
running at a loss.
Anyway now the good news. I am more than happy until the 1st
of August to take orders at the old price, this includes Christmas gift dolls
to be made later in the year. I will set up a waiting list so if you have been
wanting a doll now is the time to order! For all my loyal fans any doll you
would like for any time this year, as long as it is ordered before the 1st of
August will be at the old price.With your orders please state if you would like your
doll later this year. As everyone knows I don't take money for orders until
after you see your doll and this won't change!
Anyone who is already on my waiting list or have dolls "ON HOLD" the old price will apply.
Another future incentive to ease into the new pricing will be that a second doll order will be 20% off so grab a friend when you purchase your doll and split the difference.
Other good news Dolldrums is running a facebook comp. The
FB terms and conditions are full on! I can't
announce the winner on FB but after it is drawn I will ask the winner if
they are happy to post a pick of themselves with their new doll on the blog, so
keep a look out. The competition finishes around the 18th of July. Please feel
free to take yourself off the mailing list if it bothers you, I really wanted
to do the gift for my current fans without any obligation but out of all the
comps this was the most minimalist. I do only post about once every few months
so I won't spam you if you decide to hang in there as part of the mailing list
blog.
Now for the ugly, Melbourne Zombie Con is coming up in
October and I have lots of little uglies almost ready to go (well half way
there anyway) anyone in Melbourne, this event is going to be a heap of fun and
is the first of its kind so hop onto the website and get your tix. There aren't
many left of the original limited 600 tickets. If you do decide to come and you
mention that we are Facebook ZomBuds I will give you 15% off on the day.
Seriously worth a flight to Melbourne - it's going to be a great day and I
would love to meet some of you in person. (Not all just some. You know who you
are. Lol) Get Tickets here they are very reasonable!! http://www.zombiehire.com/mzc
