CONTEST - Where in the world is Authentique Paper?
{card created by Sam with Free Bird Series open stock 6x6 papers & Petite Type alpha stickers}
It's about time for a contest, don't you think? November is the known as the *thankful* month of the year, and December is the most popular *giving* month of the year, so in keeping with traditions, we thought it would be appropriate to run a contest - and this will be a BIG one - by being "thankful" first, and then "giving" in return!
Every day we receive comments and emails from people sharing their love and desire to purchase our products. As a new company, our distribution is increasing rapidly; however, there are still many consumers who do not have a LSS where they can purchase Authentique Paper products.
We appreciate people sharing their experience and eagerness to purchase our products, but we often do not learn of the name or location of the store. We have a thriving sales department with a couple of rockstar sales guys (David & Ryan) as well as a large database of retailers; but we know there are many more wonderful stores out there, so we are enlisting your help and as a thank you, we will reward you by giving away some stellar prizes!

Okay, on to the contest...
1. Refer your LSS to Authentique Paper and if they are not currently in our database, you will receive a prize from the Free Bird Series valued at over $10.00! Pretty simple, huh!?!?

2. If the store purchases Authentique Paper products from us by 12/31/11, you will receive a JUMBO prize valued at over $50.00, consisting of all kinds of goodies!
3. In order to qualify, you must refer the store (follow instructions in #1), AND leave a comment both here on our blog, as well as on our Facebook page (under the post heading announcing this contest) letting us know you have sent an email referring a LSS. Please email us (contests@authentiquepaper.com) with the store name, city and state, contact person & phone number you are referring. You must also include your name, address & phone number so we will know where to send your JUMBO prize! Limit five winners per store, i.e., if multiple people refer us to the same store, we will reward up to five winners per store. Winners must have USA or Canada mailing address.

This is a great way to get into the holiday spirit by sharing your affinity of Authentique Paper with your favorite LSS. Your LSS will benefit by carrying our products and making them available to their wonderful customers and you will be rewarded by playing matchmaker between your favorite paper crafting company (Authentique Paper, of course) and your favorite LSS!
Off you go - spread the word and good things will come your way! Thank you!
All the best,
Team Authentique
Love this! Great idea!

This is great Sam! I almost kinda wish my LSS didn't carry it...just kidding but they BOTH do now!! Yay, glad you got in touch with Charleen and made it happen.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find it so I called my LSS and sure enough they carry some Authentique so I can't refer them but can send a big shout out to Perfect Day Scrapbooking in Huntington Beach, CA!
ReplyDeleteSent an email to The Scrapbook Cottage! I haven't been there for a while since it is a bit of a drive so I am not sure if they carry Authentique yet. If they don't they should! Here is their website: http://scrapbook-cottage.net/contact.htm

ReplyDeleteI just sent an email for the LSS referral.

ReplyDeleteWell, my LSS does carry Authentique--fancy rotating display and all! However, I know an online store that I think should really carry your products as well! (This is another store that I shop at frequently) That is The Scrapbook Express, located in Utah.
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email with the referral info!
ReplyDeleteI contacted my local LSS. I talked to Mary. The owner Kathy was teaching a class. Mary took down information and is going to talk to her. I'll email you with the information. I hope it goes well for both of us. Tamalene Nelson

I wish I had a LSS to share Authentique with. Luckily one of the big box stores carries your paper.
ReplyDeleteWhat if your LSS has supported Authentique from the beginning and is responsible for starting your Authentique addiction? I guess I'm lucky because all the LSS's by me carry your awesome product, but I'm feeling a bit left out, here!
ReplyDeleteI sent an email referring my (not so local) lss...
ReplyDeleteI sent in my referral! Hope to hear from them soon!
ReplyDeleteI just sent the email for Sticker Store and More in Southgate, MI. Thanks for an awesome contest. Terri Harmon

This is awesome. Very easy. I like the yummy pinecones. A good idea also is the wreaths that come out you can put around the bottom of the container (Christmas looking papers). Then put whatever in the middle. Awesome hop. Can't wait to finish looking through.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do if your LSS is a total Authentique junkie and has been carrying all of your lines from day one? I went and picked up some sheets of Free Bird yesterday...
ReplyDeleteI just sent you and email referring Winneconne Crafts. I would love it if they would start carrying Authentique!
ReplyDeleteI just sent an email!
ReplyDeleteI sent an email reffering my LSS, Sandy's Scrapbook Corner!

Hey Authentique,
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing one of my fave stores is not in your database yet - they're fairly new, and online and the ladies there are delightful!
It's

and they are located in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
I'm emailing them right now! - Ann

I sent an email referring my lss to Authentique. Karen :)
ReplyDeleteI will be sending an e-mail referring my LSS. So many are closing. Save the gas and help out your LSS by buying from them. The customer service is better than any big box store and they can usually order things. They also usually have lots of die cut machines and other lovelies you can use for free or minimal cost. Oh, lots of classes, too.
ReplyDeleteI commented on your FB page under the 11/10/11 announcement and also shared the link with friends on my FB page.
I just sent a referral to my LSS! I sure hope they pick it up!
ReplyDeleteSent an e-mail. Hope my LSS orders lots of your goodies.
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email with my LSS info....thanks for the giveaway!
