JACKPOT JUNE DETAILS:
June 1, 2010 at 10:00 am - July 1, 2010 at 9:00 am

In June, take advantage of a different deal each day only on my website: Click HERE.
Click on the Jackpot June link to see each day's deal. Each day will either be a Jackpot day or a Goodie Box day.
Deals will run for 23 hours: from 10:00 am (central) to 9:00 am (central) the following day, while supplies last.

Jackpot Days
5 products will be offered for sale at special discounted prices. On each Jackpot day, Corporate selects 1 of the 5 products to be the Jackpot item for that day, but you don't know which one it is (isn't it exciting!). If you happen to order the Jackpot item, lucky you! We'll reward you with a fabulous Close To My Heart jackpot, which may be one FREE product or a bundle of several FREE products! For those of you who aren't risk-takers, you'll want to purchase all 5 items to guarantee you'll hit the Jackpot!

If you purchase multiple quantities of the Jackpot item, you'll receive multiple products FREE. So, buy as many as you'd like of each item - there's no limit - and you could be a big winner!

The FREE items will be featured on the Jackpot June shopping page, alongside the 5 discounted products. We'll send your FREE items with the products you've ordered - and we'll pay the shipping/handling for your FREE items! Special shipping is offered on the discounted products you purchase: just $0.99 for each item.

So, how do you know if you've hit the Jackpot? Each day we'll announce what the Jackpot item was for the previous day on www.facebook.com/closetomyheart and at www.closetomyheart.com.

* On Jackpot days, only the discounted items may be checked out in one transaction; no limit on discounted items per transaction.

Goodie Box Days
You will be able to purchase a Goodie Box filled with wonderful Close To My Heart products at 50% or more off retail value. The Goodie Box contents will vary by day (we're not revealing specifics but you'll be thrilled!) and will include favorite current and retired stamp sets, paper packets, embellishments, and other great scrapbooking, stamping and cardmaking items.

Corporate has made every effort to differentiate the Goodie Box offerings by date so you can purchase boxes on different dates and receive a wide variety of products. The prices of the boxes will vary but each will be at least 50% off retail value. The higher the box price, the greater your savings from the original retail value. We're also offering discounted shipping ($7.00 to $9.00)

* On Goodie Box days, only one Goodie Box and no other items may be checked out in a single transaction. You can place several orders if you wish, but only one box is permitted per transaction.

What's more fun than discovering a new art technique, using an embellishment in a unique way, or trying an accent you've never used before and loving it? Well, our Jackpot June promotion is perfect for bringing out the fun in your creative projects! It's a great time to pick up some products you love or ones you've never used before at incredible prices and potentially win some for FREE! You can add to your creative side and say, "Whatever deals pop up this Wednesday I'm going to buy and use - even if I've never used them before!" That can get your imagination flowing! Click HERE every day in June and see what tickles your artistic fancy! And remember, the Jackpot June deals are good for just that one day and only while supplies last.
