Cheat Sheet for Earning the You-Pick-It Promo!
As you and your customers plan what you’re going to order to meet the qualifying spend amount, use the handy checklist of ALL that’s launched so far in 2026! There are two ways to use it:
Tip for the easiest way to get closest to earning the promotion free with one click: Order a 12x12 Album Kit! If you don’t already have an Album Kit to show new people at your events, now’s the time to get one (or a few) and be just cents away from getting FREE gifts while you do so!
Free Shipping Continues!
There's still time to take advantage of FREE Shipping with qualifying orders! Now is the time to stock up on seasonal favorites while replenishing the supplies you need for your upcoming events.
You can get free shipping on qualifying orders of $125+ USD / $165+ CAD / $275+ AUD through Friday, Sept. 4, at noon CT. In the US, the offer is valid for Ground Shipping only and excludes 2-Day Shipping and surcharge areas. Reduced shipping rates apply to surcharge areas during the promotion.
AU: Ends Friday, 4 Sept., 11:59pm AET.
100 Bold Moves: August Week 4 Challenge
Hosting a 6-Star Croptoberfest is within your power:
The “IT” factor isn't MORE. It's INTENTION.
Being intentional in our businesses is the difference between a good event and a great one! In the second August Create the Best, we gave you the formula for a 6-star event; which of these steps have you implemented and what are you doing differently this year to have your best Croptoberfest yet?
Here's the formula — what will YOU implement?
PREPARE — Anticipate what they'll need.
PERSONALIZE — Make them feel known.
DELEGATE — Free yourself to be present.
NOTICE — Pay attention to the person, not just the event.
DELIGHT — Create one or two things they weren't expecting.
CONNECT — Build relationships between customers, not only between you and them.
FOLLOW UP — Make the relationship continue after Croptoberfest.
