The season is turning with deep colours in the trees and a certain nostalgia in the air. I haven't ventured into finding out what my colour palette is, but I do know that I am a Fall Girly (TM). Cozy, warm, spooky... I'll take it all, kthanks. With the changing season, I bring news!
Over the next few months, there will be many more changes. Ownership will officially be transferred into my possession. As others have pointed out, I've been the face of the business since the beginning. While that is true, there's something to be said about the feeling of the business being truly mine, not just visually, but also on paper. I am very excited for this long-awaited change and I hope you are as well.
The website will be updated with more listings to include my Pin Keepers and stickers. I will also be working on getting the website in order so that it's easier to navigate overall. For those who will be looking for Queen on the Scene pins, you'll be able to still buy them through their website. I will continue to carry them at in-person events as we will remain sibling companies. Just a change in structure in hopes to build support and traffic on both sides. This also means I'll be including my wholesale vendors on my website.
Speaking of wholesale - Yes, I will start offering my pins to wholesalers. I haven't figured out pricing or many of the specific details of that just yet, but I will be using Faire for these transactions. Are you interested in purchasing my pins to display in your store? Know someone else who is? Contact me and let's chat!
For all of my Deviants, 2027 will bring in those benefits that I've been telling you about:
- Quarterly email discounts (typically a code to use for online orders)
- In-person discounts (likely to be free stickers or locking backs)
- First to know about upcoming releases (be sure you're still subscribed)
- Help me decide on those releases (especially Snarky & Pride pins)
I have also been playing around with thoughts of a denim donation discount, a referral program, and a Pin Keeper Exchange type of situation... lots of ideas floating around. Be sure to stay tuned!
I am looking forward to implementing these ch-ch-changes for you! January can't come soon enough. I am very excited to officially become:
Mel Bentley, Owner of Kink on the Scene
