Because there are so many scrapbooking stores opening up right now, the timing is perfect. If I had a drink in my mouth I would have choked on it! Too funny!!

Well they came out with that washi last year available in 10 roll packs. I couldn’t figure out how that was a big deal, but they weren’t marketing it as wholesale. They were marketing it like “please buy a bunch of this because we fat fingered the order and wound up with a million rolls”. It’s not just SC available for wholesale. AE, Rad and happy, and some others. That makes you wonder just how much crap they have in that warehouse. ETA I’m thinking it’s going to be like lularoe: you don’t actually get pick your inventory. They just send you random boxes of crap they can’t move.

Hmm...Fairground kits, those swan tags, and art prints anyone? I’m sure many LSSs will jump on those! Not!

Can't see this working....I don't have a local store anymore and even if I did, I wouldn't buy SC at retail when I know eventually they will go on sale online. Could work for albums I suppose but again no store.
As a store owner I'd be worried about SC undercutting me cos goodness knows they have impeccable sales practices....
The only way they are emptying that warehouse is to have a mega x 4 sale.

I don't get why they sent the wholesale announcement email to us. I thought they'd made a mistake with the email lists at first until about three seconds went by and I remembered that they don't have an effin' clue how to run a business properly. They're literally telling ALL their customers: "PLEASE DO YOU WANT TO SELL OUR LEFTOVERS?" It's not good publicity to contact your entire client base for business partnerships. Nor is it appropriate. Like, hullo? Is anybody awake in the marketing department? (I know, what marketing department? Wasdat?)

I'm tempted to contact them just to see what kinda crap they're trying to get rid of now.
Then laugh at them when they quote the price.

For all you SC chipboard addicts... I just posted a big box FFS on the fsot board with a whole lotta sc chipboard in it. Just a PSA for the chipboard lovers in the group. I for one just rarely seem to use the darn stuff and am finally willing to admit it 🙈.

Summer sketch class released $35. Has it always been $35? Nope. It used to be 29 and subbers got a nice discount. The layouts are all probably TN size too, right? Do people really need an overpriced class for TN sketches?

Do people really need an overpriced class for TN sketches? Yes TN size. No we don’t need any TN sketches. Easy pass for me. First time in several years that I’m skipping.

So I got an email from our favorite company making sure I gave them my cell number so they could text me tomorrow because I wouldn’t want to miss out. Of course, I don’t want them to have my number, but darnit I wonder what nonsense I will miss! Do you think it is another mega mega mega non sale? Do you think they are going to announce that they are taking away free shipping for stamp sets ( the only perk I think they have left)? Do you think they are going to tell us no one has time for PL type scrapbooking and they are going to get rid of that kit too?
Does anyone have a burner phone that they are willing to take one for the team on?
I just can’t imagine what nonsense this is going to be, we all know it will be a big nothing, but we need something to laugh about on this thread.

I will post when share whatever it is they are sharing. I do think the timing of it (the big surprise) is weird seeing that Ali has a bug release tomorrow. Wonder if they will be sharing a sweet deal so people will buy with them vs. Ali?

Also? I predict it will be a $$ off code. Spend $50 and get $10 off or some nonsense like that.

Because OMG they're sooooo amazing. I wonder if April is hoping that if she holds onto them long enough they'll be worth something? Kinda like how my grandma still has magazines from the 60s?

The better idea would've been to market it as a way to respond back to SC quickly.
"Sign up for the Inked text alerts and reply back to us to speak directly with April Foster! She's such a role model around here and would love the chance to text with you one on one."
For them to post the code online DEFEATS THE FUCKING PURPOSE OF THEM PUSHING THE TEXT ALERTS. Hello?!

Good lord, they are trying so hard to create FOMO, when all they would have to do is create decent kits! They had great kits for so long that many of us out up with their BS just to get them.
They clearly know what their money maker is since they exclude the pp from the coupon.

And even if you didn't give your cell# the code is on the site if you click 'details'. Probably because no one wants spam to their phone. I mean, it says in the email that it is for ALL BRANDS not just SC...they won't sell your information, but they are sure as hell going to spam the shit out of you for whatever brand that they're going to fail in selling anything for every month or two.

Someone spotted the low-key promo to move (get rid of!!) SC paper.... apparently purchased 173 pieces... So I went and had a look.... man, they have ugly paper these days! No wonder it's not moving!

I saw Aprils insta about this. I almost dont believe her and think she's just trying to amp up excitement for the 'sale'. But lets say she isn't lying - how much overstock does SC have that someone could buy that much of single sheet paper and still have so much left?

I like how she’s all “we decided to post a sale but not like highlight it and see what would happen”. Maybe if you weren’t so freaking shady about your sales you wouldn’t be sitting on 4 year old shit no one wants. Duh.
