New Subscription Service!!!

We are experimenting with a new concept that we've seen around Etsy and other sites. The idea is that you, the consumer, purchases a subscription plan from me, the supplier. On a designated day each month you will be auto shipped between 8 and 10 ounces of unique soaps. The shipped soaps will be chosen based on your preferences. You will be able to choose between four options:

Pride and Prejudice Themed Soaps - two bars each weighing between 4 and 5 ounces
Inspired by Jane - two bars each weighing between 4 and 5 ounces
New and Unique - between two and four bars each weighing between 2 and 5 ounces for a total of between 8 and 10 ounces
Guest Soaps - four or five bars weighing between 1.5 and 2 ounces each for a total of between 8 and 10 ounces

In addition to your choice of  soap package you will also be able to choose your billing frequency. Choose between billing every three months, every six months or yearly with the ability to cancel at any time.

What is the advantage you ask? There are several! 
1. Partnership. Stay up to date with all of the latest and greatest happenings from Shirley's Handicrafts. Included in your shipment will be a letter, keeping you up to date on all of our new products, goals, and accomplishments. Be an active partner in our growth!
2. Hassle free shopping. Leave all of the details to us. Once you make your preference selections, you will no longer need to think about anything. We will automatically send you your products on the 15th of each month and bill your credit card according to your plan.
3. Safety. Because Shirley's Handicrafts does not work with any other supplier or third parties, you have the benefit of knowing that your personal information is safe! Your credit card numbers, addresses and other personal information is kept under lock and key.
4. Price! The most significant reason to purchase a subscription it the price. On average, the cost of shipping two bars of soap within the United States is around $3.65. With a subscription, you will only be charged one shipping fee of $3.65 at the time of purchase. This means that for a three month billing cycle, you are saving $7.30 each cycle or $29.20 per calendar year. For a six month subscription you save $18.25 per cycle or $36.50 per year. With a one year subscription you are saving $40.15.

Bonus: Four times each year Shirley's Handicrafts has huge sales. During months with these sales, we will include an extra bar of soap in your package. This comes to an average additional savings of between $20 and $24 per year for a total savings of up to $64.15!

If this new subscription service sounds like a good fit for you, please leave me a comment below and I will contact you directly to set up your subscription!

  1. Sounds good if you can make it fly. But, it also sounds like a lot of paper work.
