NEWSLETTER UPDATE

Hey guys, hope all is well.

I posted on Facebook the other day that I had opened a “Mailchimp” account to manage my mailing list subscriptions. It’s not as great as I had planned, and so after ‘Googling’ alternatives, I have also decided to sign up to “Mailerlite”.

I have to say that it appears to be a little more user friendly and allows me to edit my emails the way I want, but neither has a particularly good font selection, so we shall see.  I can’t afford to pay for these services, so we’ll see in time which one has the better ‘free’ options.

Anyway, I going to be using the latter for now, and I have set up a ‘landing page’ to allow you guys the convenience of signing up to my newsletter through there.

Here is the link: https://www.subscribepage.com/q4b5j3

I’m hoping to send this month’s newsletter out using Mailerlite, so those of you who are subscribed will see a slightly different format this month.

If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter yet and would like to, here’s a reminder of what you can expect each month:

• 48-hour advance notice of new patterns in store
• 25% off new patterns in store for first 24-hours of sale
• Exclusive “freebie” pattern

In the run up to Halloween and Christmas I’m hoping to include other bonuses too, but I’ll mention more on that I due course!

Please subscribe, your support means a lot to me!

Till next time … keep Kalm and cross-stitch

WIP WEDNESDAY!

Greetings guys!

I hope you are all well?

So I started this over on my Instagram last week, and (providing I have things to show off), I want to make it a weekly thing.

This week I’m showing off a project I’ve just started working on, although I designed it last year.  It isn’t gaming related, but it is related to something I’m very passionate about: Recycling!

I’ve become a bit of an eco-warrior in recent years and last year I became a Waste Reduction Volunteer for my local council.  Due to Covid-19, I have not had a chance to do much volunteering, which has been hard, but I still try to do what I can, which is why I designed this piece.

As always, all my designs start as drawings and then get charted onto graph paper before being transferred into my charting software.

 

Aside from that, here are some of the other projects I have been working on lately:

 

 

Whilst I’m here…

This month’s newsletter is going out to subscribers later today!

If you haven’t signed up yet, and would like to do so, just PM me your email address and I’ll add you.

New patterns will be in my Etsy store on Friday so be sure to check them out! 

Subscribers get 25% off these patterns for the first 24-hours of sale!!

So that’s all I have for now.

 

Till next time … keep Kalm and cross-stitch!

GATCHASTITCH ETSY STORE NOW .... OPEN!!!!!!!!!

Greetings guys!

I hope you’re all doing well?

Well, it’s been a very long time coming, but I can finally announce that my Etsy store is officially “OPEN”!

WOOT WOOT!!!

You can access it by clicking on the “shop” tab at the top of the page.  It’s a direct link so you can go and browse it right now! 

For those of you who signed up to my newsletter, the first one should have landed in your inboxes right about now.  For those of you haven’t, to sign up, just send me an email and I’ll add you to the list.

Newsletter frequency has yet to be determined, but it’ll usually be once a month, or when there’s a new pattern release.

As a “thank you” to those of you who have stuck with me through these uncertain times, I’m offering a 10% discount on my launch patterns until 31^st July 2020.  Just enter code “GATCHA10” at the checkout.

I’m excited to finally launch the next chapter of Gatchastitch, and I hope you are too!

I’d love to hear your feedback on the shop and what you think of it!

Till next time … keep Kalm and cross-stitch!          

NEWSLETTER LAUNCH

Howdo guys!

As you'll no doubt have seen from recent posts, I've hinted at starting a Newsletter.

The idea being to let people who subscribe to it to be the first to know what new patterns are being released in store and offer money off vouchers etc…

I'm planning (for now), to make my Newsletter a monthly thing, but this may vary depending on whether I have new patterns etc… to offer.

People who have subscribed to the Newsletter will get it sent via email 48-hours before new patterns in my shop. 

Subscribers will also get a unique code that they can use to get a discount on a new pattern during it's first 24 hours of sale.

I plan to launch the Newsletter in September to coincide with the launch of my Etsy store.

In a previous post I had said that the first 10 people to sign up to the Newsletter before launch would receive a code allowing them 10% of their first order in my shop.  I have decided to now extend this offer to anyone who signs up to my Newsletter before 29th August 2019.

The first Newsletter will be sent out to all subscribers via email on 30th August 2019.

If you want to join my mailing list and sign up to my Newsletter, please email me - gatchastitch@outlook.com.  In the subject bar, please put "Newsletter sign up".

Thank you all for your continued support!

Till next time … keep Kalm and cross-stitch! :) x
