CHANGES to KOM and SMAK Memberships!

[Sabrina Lere]

Email sent from Angela today...Please share your thoughts!!

Hello from Unity! 

 

This letter is coming to you because you are a valued SUBSCRIPTION member at Unity.  We have some very exciting news and we wanted to send you an email, and make you the FIRST to hear about it.

 

We want to THANK YOU so very much for your loyalty to our Kit of the Month and/or SMAK Membership.  We are SO BLESSED to have you as part of the Unity family and we know how hard you work to continue to be able to get the kit each month.  It is important to us that you know how much we APPRECIATE YOU!  :) DID YOU KNOW that YOU buying these kits each month SIGNIFICANTLY supports the families of our artists and our employees at Unity.  We are ALL so grateful for you.

 

We spend HOURS and HOURS on these kits - we understand that the dollars you work so hard for and spend on our kit is IMPORTANT - therefore we choose the BEST of the BEST art from our Artists and use it in our Membership Kits. Month after month - he kits come together beautifully, and each month is always cause for celebration at Unity when the kit is revealed. :)

 

Back to the point of this email...

 

You know how much UNITY loves changing it up.  We have some SIMPLE and EXCITING changes happening around the corner with our memberships in order to allow UNITY to grow.  There is no growth without CHANGE! :)  

 

As a Unity family - we have decided to make the memberships VERY SIMPLE,  remove a significant amount of the RULES and ADD more BENEFITS to members. :)  Away with the RULES, bring on the HAPPY! :)

Because we put the best of the best art into our kits they are extremely beautiful...and breathtaking and FUN! {we think maybe you feel the same way and that is why you have been so loyal to continuing your membership.}  Unity is sad that when the month passes they are OVER.  It  really does not make much sense to us. We feel VERY DEEPLY that we need to allow NON-Members to have access to them at an affordable price.  {currently they are $45 for non-members}

 

BE EXCITED! - you are so special to us AS A MEMBER - this decision was reached keeping YOU in the FRONT OF OUR MINDS -  that is the BEAUTIFUL PART - we kept thinking, how can we make our membership BETTER. :) 

 

Each month we are only manufacturing a very LIMITED NUMBER of kits at RELEASE.  We will make enough for our MEMBERS to assure you that YOU will GET YOUR beautiful Kit  -  and then Unity will only have a LIMITED number of kits available the RELEASE Month. {membership perk? YOU are guaranteed a kit the very month they are released - no waiting.} - big deal. AND there is more.

 

Perks continue... not only are you GUARANTEED a kit the month they are released - there is also SPECIAL MEMBER gifts and incentives every month - consistently. This month we have items donated for our members from Fancy Pants Designs and Pink Paisley! Cute, cute stuff! It will be a surprise when you open your Kit!

 

Currently you are enjoying $5 off each order - and that will continue except better - you will now enjoy $6.95 off all your orders over $20.  It is almost like FREE SHIPPING on every order when placed in the USA, outside us it is a nice little discount on your shipping!

 

YOU will also get to purchase all the PAST Kits of the MONTH or SMAK kits for only $20 starting November 15, 2013. 

 

As a CONTINUED member - YOU will be put into a drawing every 3 months for a chance to WIN A BIG PRIZE!  big.  December 1, 2013 every Kit of the Month and SMAK member that gets a KIT IN NOVEMBER will be entered into a drawing for a Cricut.  HOW FUN IS THAT!?

 

PERKS:

*Guaranteed Kit

*$6.95 off your order over $20

*Purchase past Kit of the Month or SMAK kits for only $20

*FREE GIFT each month with your kit.

*PRIZE drawings {BIG PRIZE} every 3 months

First prize will be drawn on December 1st - A BRAND NEW Cricut - All the members that get the November Kit of the Month - will be eligible and have their name in the drawing!

 

Non-members will pay $26 plus the standard $6.95 shipping {USA}. Non-Members will not get ANY shipping coupons, they will not get the SPECIAL gifts that members get, they will not have the option to purchase past kits for the $20 price.  NON- members are not guaranteed a kit - and will have to WAIT to purchase theirs if we run out of our initial run during the RELEASE MONTH.  

 

So I hope you continue the membership and I promise to continue to give you the very best of Unity on a monthly basis!

 

I am sure you will have questions and we want to hear your feedback. We have created a private FORUM group just for you to discuss this change. Please go to our Unity Place Community and let us know your thoughts!http://www.myunityplace.com/group/membership-discussion

 

We will release this news to the public in a couple days so please discuss in the group privately until we the release the news.

 

Thank you for all your love and support of Unity. We appreciate you more than we are capable of expressing!

 

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Do we still have the option of 'skipping' a month? Love the idea of being able to purchase past SMAK kits for $20.

[Noelle Reese]

I can't believe you upped the coupon from $5. to $6.95.  I am excited about everything!!  Honestly,  I feel sorry for the people that can't buy past kits.   Until I collected those 18{?} I missed out on when we were so broke with 2 house payments I was going crazy.  Now that they are all here in monthly order I sleep so much better *snort*  <3

You are all set - ALL PAST KITS are now available for only $20! :)  Both SMAK and Kit of the Month!

[Heidi Muska]

Just plain Awesome! So glad I took the plunge to join months ago!  I am always looking forward to getting my kit. Now I can get kits I missed more affordable and with pretty much free shipping! :) Not to mention free gifts and drawings! You are a great company and just keep getting better! I am one "Happy Happy  Happy " customer!

You are all set - ALL PAST KITS are now available for only $20! :)  Both SMAK and Kit of the Month!

I recently joined the SMAK group a few months ago and have been loving it. For me, it works well because I only discovered Unity at the end of last year (I still have plenty I'd like to add to my collection!). I'll miss the free kits, but totally understand why that was withdrawn from the program. The $6.95 off per $20+ order also appeals to me, since I don't have to worry about "packing" my cart to save on shipping. I also like the idea of being able to pick up previous kits (especially for KOTM, which I'm not a subscriber to) at only $20 in the future. Thanks for offering such a great program! Unity has AWESOME customer service, too (yay, Andrea!). :)

[Angela Magnuson]

This is WONDERFUL!  So happy you are happy! :) 

You are all set - ALL PAST KITS are now available for only $20! :)  Both SMAK and Kit of the Month!

I have an idea for a drawing prize. What about a Unity gift certificate? With the sales that you have every week, I'm sure whomever wins  would put it to good use.  I love the price reduction of the past kits and the added shipping bonus.

[Angela Magnuson]

It is so much more fun to have a prize - we are going to put together some pretty ones! :) 

[Tina Riddle]

I'm confused about the "coupon" that was $5 and is now 6.95??  I have been a SMAK member for a few months now and have just recently jointed the KOM club but I have never seen a coupon or received a coupon code.  Have you received the coupon in your kits???

[Angela Magnuson]

It is on your letters that come with your kits. :) 

[Shelley Galvin]

When you get your kit, you get a white piece of paper showing what the kit looks like, if you look on the back of the paper  it will give you the discount code word to put in for the discount. Each month is a different word.
