December 2012 - Silly Season One Day Sale

Welcome to the silly season! :-)

Yep, it's nearly mid-December and I've held back on the newsletter this month as tomorrow is 12/12/12 and Amor is having a 

SILLY SEASON ONE DAY SALE - 36% off 

whilst ingredients last on all Amor Handmade Products!  
Please do NOT make any Internet Banking Payments until I have confirmed to you that your complete order can be processed.  

This is the first time I have ever offered a special like this since Amor went online in 2000 as we're an Artisan business rather than a bulk retail one... so be in quick!

So far this month it's been more relaxing than the last few with no studies to complete (I passed all my papers this year for Professional Coaching) and the last few days I've been busy making Christmas Pudding soaps and Sun Filter Lotion for this month's free gifts, as well as processing orders.

Amor's first Lipstick Kit was ordered last week, so I took photos when I assembled it and they are now online.

Some of you may have seen on my Facebook Page www.facebook.com/amoraromatherapy that I have done an article for Sweet Living Magazine on how to make you own herbal balm from your garden.  I used Lavender, Rosemary and Thyme to make a lovely balm for Gardeners.
Here's the recipe http://www.sweetlivingmagazine.co.nz/sweet-living-5-out-now/ on page 59 and how to make a lip balm on page 60.

Amor will not be closed over the holiday period, however I will only be working half days and supplies may be limited due to all my suppliers being closed, some until mid-January, so orders may take longer than our usual processing time of 3 days - you will be advised on receipt of your order if there will be any stock delays.

Monthly Free Gift:


 

Wanted - 10 Female Participants in a trial of a new product:
On a more delicate matter, I have discovered with regular spas (now that our spa pool has finally been fixed after 2 yrs) and the wonderful changes menopause brings that I'm rather itchy in the feminine region.  I've created a balm which I've called FemCare Soothing Balm which has been very soothing, however as this is an area I don't normally experience irritation in, I would love some ladies to try it out and let me know what they think.  
So if you suffer regularly from vaginal itching, whether due to thrush, vaginitis, herpes, sex, and any other cause you can think of, are always at the doctors and pharmacy and would like to try out this natural option, please contact me.  I'll email you back with a few questions as I would like to try this across a range of different conditions.

Monthly Contest:
The winner of Amor's 5th contest (November) is Linda Johnson.  Congratulations Linda and I hope you enjoy the products you have purchased with your $20 voucher.    

This month's contest is for a 50ml Gift Pack of our Suncare range plus free shipping.  All purchases completed during the competition month are automatically entered.  

General Housekeeping
I will leave this section in here so new subscribers and infrequent buyers can quickly look up how Amor works:

Shipping and Payment of Orders:
On the 1st September, Fastway's shipping rates went up - I have had to increase my rates on the A5 bags ($5.07) and Nationwide tickets ($9.74), however all other tickets are still at the old price at this stage.  As of today, all remaining zones are still at old prices as I still have a few tickets left. 
If you live in a Rural Delivery area, NZ POST now charge an extra $2.80 for rural deliveries, so in most cases I will now send these via Fastway Couriers (my local post office is a 7km round trip so unfortunately this pushes up costs as well - when I was in Northland, it was across the road).

Due to the slow processing time of manual credit card payments (it went from 2 days to 5 days at the Bank's end), I have converted over to PayPal.  This seems to be working well and I try to get invoices processed within 2 hours (even in the evenings as I'm usually still on here tweaking the website or updating my FaceBook pages)

There are 2 buttons for Payment Options

  1. Credit Card Invoice - we will send you an invoice via PayPal (accepts all International Credit Cards) within 24 hrs ~ usually within 2 hrs, so keep an eye on your inbox for a notification from PayPal.
  2. Direct Bank Deposit - NZ

What's Coming Up?
12 Days of Christmas - Watch this space!

If you have any questions or special requests, please ask them on Amor's FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/AmorAromatherapy.

Enjoy
