Hi there
How about a Happy Weekend Sale? When you think there is nothing to celebrate, give yourself a reason!
It’s in full flow, and sales are going very well. Thank you !! I have conjured up a picture in my mind; let me share it with you…
If this website were an actual shop, an actual bricks and mortar building, with a front door and a till, and smiling shop assistants in aprons ready to assist – you wouldn’t believe it!! It would be absolutely heaving!! You would not believe how many customers were in at one time! Even at 8am. Even at 10pm. People have certainly changed the way they shop – that’s for sure! Online has most certainly taken over from the high street, eh.
I was reading a thing online earlier that a friend had posted. It was about how couples date nowadays, compared to back in the 40’s; then all through the years, right up to today. Back in the day, we met our potential partners, our husbands and wives, mostly through family, through friends, through church. As the years rolled on, the percentages changed. Less through family, certainly less through church, more in pubs and clubs, but still (nil point) 0% online with dating apps. In the year 2000 it all started to shift- very quickly too. Dating increased exponentially online, until 2024, where over 60% of all relationships are started online. Baffling, eh? Here are the graphs…
Well, I think that shopping has followed the same trajectory. I mean, most of us remember mail order catalogues. Which one did your Mum us? My Mum used Grattan and Littlewoods. I remember them well. I suppose it was a way to split the cost too. I remember Mum always complaining that come Christmas, she was usually still paying for the Christmas before “on tick”.
But back to the online sale we are running at Clarity this weekend, until midnight Monday. It’s up to 50% off pretty much ALL things Clarity, and usually 40% off most of the rest. It will set us in good stead for the upcoming weeks, until we know what’s going on at C&C, and give us a chance to figure out a plan.
The good thing about Clarity is that we are manufacturers. The bad thing about Clarity is that we are manufacturers. The good thing is we make our own products, so we have more control. The bad thing is that production lines come with substantial fixed costs. So it’s a bit of a balancing game right now.
But we are very grateful for all the love and positive/practical support pouring in! It’s at times like this, when you really see the measure of a person, don’t you think? As my lovely friend Carron always says,
“There are fountains and there are drains. Be a fountain!”
Carron
I’d prefer to think of myself as a fountain, wouldn’t you ?? So on that positive note, have a fabulous weekend, and bag yourself a bargain on our Happy Sale! at Claritystamp.com
Love always
