Hi All,


I am sitting here listening to the conference call and Bob just said that the retail site is coming. 60 more days! I am so excited. I think it will be a wonderful addition to our company!smileys/smiley17.gif


Many Blessings,


Natalie

I know! Isn't it AMAZING!!

Please advise which call this is? I don't see a call from Bob listed in his emails I would have liked to be on that call!

It was on the online conferencewhere you can be online orcall in on the phone - it's a target date of what the company would like to see. Bob popped in via phone on the conference. Edited by: dreamakr36

Hi Alethea,


Sorry about that! It is the Monday night call that John does. Bob said that they are shouting for it to be up and running within the next 60 days.


Hope that helps!


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Oh thank you! Strange though because I logged into John's call and he said Bob was not there. I asked if it was the call where Bob announced that e-commerce was coming and John said it was not. He did say corporate is working on it though!


It's been in the works for the past year so I am very excited for when it is available!

Hi Alethea,


I heard him when he said that.Bob was there! Sandy and I are not going crazy I hope! LOL! Unless the all this shopping has gotten to us.smileys/smiley36.gif

I am soooo excited, I have been waiting for this - woohoo!!! This is going to help us big time!


I did see on the message board that the website will be down for maintenence over the weekend for updates - ecommerce phase 1 was included - yay!


I cannot contain my happiness smileys/smiley36.gif

Hi Debra,


You have a new identity! I like it! The website sure was down! I am glad that we are closer to get the e-commerces site.


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Yes Bob stopped by, he apparently missed John's first phone call tonight because he was baking cookies..... and popped in sometime later (still near the beginning of the online conference).... saying he's got a batch of cookies waiting for him once he gets off the line smileys/smiley36.gif

WOW, this is AWESOME!!!


NOW, I wonder what those OTHER candle companies can use as their advantage over us......since it has always been online ordering!!!


Nothing is gonna stop us now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smileys/smiley32.gif

what does retail site mean


Denise :)

smileys/smiley2.giflol! Yes, I can't very well call myself Soy Candle Gal anymore and Gourmet Candle Gal wouldn't fit so I decided to use my website name. Now I got to start posting so I don't look like a newbie!smileys/smiley36.gif

Hi Denise,


It will allow people to purchase products from our site without having to go thru us.


Hope that helps!


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Thanks Natalie!!!!

oh yes, this is sooooo true. Hopefully they can make smaller cases too. It will solve any hesitation I have ever come accross. Even if the smaller cases were slightly more expensive - it would be so worth it. BTW Jen, did you get your candle yet??

Sure thing Denise!


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Hey Alethea,


This email from Corp should help as well!

Happy Holidays from all of us at the home office!


This year has seen many great strides forward in the growth of our "little" candle company - 2005 was an incredible year! From our Spring Fling to our Fall Fling, new Directors, new pay levels for Double and Triple Diamonds, and of course, our first MILLION DOLLAR MONTH, 2005 marked many milestones for us.


Another milestone is upon us - a new version of our in-house custom program, BlueShark Version 3.0 is due for release this Friday, December 23, 2005. The web sites will be unavailable for a short period of time starting 8am EST on Friday, December 23, 2005 until approximately 8am EST on Saturday, December 24, 2005.We are taking every measure to limit the amount of time that the web sites are unavailable. It may be for just a few hours, it may be as many as 48 hours, but the most realistic time frame we can estimate is between 12 and 24 hours. Please note this! There will be a message stating that the site is down for scheduled maintenance and will be available soon.


By upgrading to this new version, itwill allow us, among other things to:


1)perform real-time credit card processing online


2) get closer to offering you retail sales from your web sites


3) automate processing and paying of our new Double and Triple Diamond distributor levels


4) upgrade your web sites


We appreciate your business and know that you all work hard - know that we are here working for you (even over the holiday!) to ensure that you have the best tools, the most up-to-date and powerful solutions that we can provide for you including the technology that serves you.


Again, have a great week, and best to you all!

I am wondering.....obviously a customer can order 1 jar...but will we still be required to purchase bulk or can we order only what we need?? Now THAT would be a awesome idea!!!! smileys/smiley32.gif


Deb, havent gotten it yet, but SNAIL mail is exceptionally slow this week. Don't worry, it will get here!! Thanks for asking!:)

I agree Jen! Even a 6 pack or 4 Packoption for distributors would help out for those last minute orders.Ordering one at a time to drop ship to customers would be nice but it mightcost too much in shipping. I hope they still keep dozen cases too to save on shipping for large orders. I can't wait to hear what they will unveil at spring fling!

I know, I am definately there at Spring Fling!!!


Anyone who HASN'T been to a FLING (not, "had" a fling) lol .....LISTEN UP!!!


YOU NEED TO START SAVING NOW IF YOU NEED TO....


BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO BE THERE!!


YES I AM YELLING AT YOU!!! LOL smileys/smiley36.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif

LOL...Jennifer you are to funny! I am working really hard to get the Spring Fling next year. I know it will definately be a wonderful thing for my business.


I would also love to see small orders for us as distributors as well. It would help alot of us greatly.


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Natalie, wouldnt it be great if we had a "WAHM" get together while we where there? That way, we could meet all of the fabulous ladies here on the boards!!!


We should definately plan a little meeting after one evening at the fling. As it gets closer, i will suggest this further.


Take care and hope your holidays are as great as you girly!!


Only 3 more shopping days left!!!!!


OMG, i better get to the mall!! It takes about 30 min to find a parking spot!! lol smileys/smiley36.gif

LOL...Yep! And I have not even started!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif I also love the idea of getting together with you and whoever else will be at Spring Fling. I can not wait.


Many Blessings,


Natalie

John said the Spring Fling is going to start (I believe) March 17th on the internet/phone conference last night! I'm planning on BEING THERE!!!! Y'all need to be on the lookout for the info whenever they start sending it outand get booked in early!

Have any of you ladies noticed longer shipping times with the holidays?


Just curious smileys/smiley2.gif

Hi Connie,


I have! That is why I ordered a few weeks early! Wanted to make sure I had all of what I needed!smileys/smiley2.gif


Many Blessings,


Natalie

My order from Dec 9th came on Dec 15th (to Florida)so I didn't notice any delay up to that point.

Thanks, Nat and Sandy smileys/smiley1.gif

Hello ladies! In reference to the shipping, I was impressed with my last order.


I phoned my order in around 8pm on 12/15. And guess what...I received my order on 12/20! Of course I am in DE so that makes a difference. But I thought it would take UPS awhile to get it to me.


So, I am pleasantly surprised!!!
