We all know that tomorrow, August 4, 2020 is the first day of the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog for the holidays, but it will also be the first day of the new Stampin’ Up! Online Store! Yes, the Online Store is getting a makeover and from what I have seen of it, I think you will be pleased! When you log in tomorrow to shop the new holiday mini after 7 AM Mountain Time (that’s 8 AM Central Time, 9 AM Eastern Time, and 6 AM Pacific Time) you will see the new look!
Your assignment for today, to get ready for the new Online Store website, is to either make sure you have your password written down or that you know it, OR click on the “Forgot My Password”. The first time you log into your Online Store account on the new website, the website won’t “remember” your password so you will have to enter it yourself. If you don’t KNOW what it is or have it written down in a super secret location, just click on the FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD link and follow the steps to get a new password. If you don’t receive the email soon after, check your SPAM folder in case it went there!
As you can see in the photo below, my password is encrypted so if I didn’t have it written down I might not remember exactly what it is. Since the store will essentially be a new website, you have to sign in yourself the first time. You will have to type in your password yourself.
If you are doing this today, Aug. 3rd, you CAN also sign into your account as it is today, then click on “My Account” in the upper right corner. Scroll down a tiny bit to MY ACCOUNT, then click on the tab for EMAIL/PASSWORD and change it in there. Be sure to click to SAVE changes! Then WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD. The first time you log in to the new store you will have to put in your password yourself so you have to know what it is. If you need help, let me know!
IF you have bookmarked the Online Store, your bookmark might not work tomorrow (or maybe it will?).
If you have previously chosen me as your Demonstrator, I think it still should show me as your Demonstrator. If not, you have an opportunity to choose me as your Demonstrator. Or if you clicked on a product link on my blog to my Online Store, it should show me as your Demonstrator. In any case, you might want to check that you see my name on your Store page.
If you are new to shopping online at Stampin’ Up, during the ordering process you will have a chance to choose a Demonstrator. You can look up a name or search by location. Here is my name: Karen Fontinelle #54345 Houston, TX
If you just want to check out as a Guest, Stampin’ Up! will assign a Demonstrator near your location just for that one order, as all orders go through a Demonstrator, but I think you can choose if you want any further contact from that Demonstrator or not.
There are some great new features coming in the new Online Store! Product photos will be bigger, you can sort in various categories, like color or price, you can mark Favorites, you can even have a Wish List that you could share with someone! I think it will be pretty intuitive and I think we will like it!
The main hurdle will be knowing your password in order to sign in since it will be a new website and your browser will not recognize it like it does most websites you frequent. Just so you remember to do it and save yourself the hassle later, either check what your current password is so you can log in or click on the Forgot Password button and then change it. This also might be a good time while you are in your account, to make sure your address is up-to-date as I can not go into your online account to change any of your information and you don’t want your order going to the wrong location!
You are welcome to call Stampin’ Up! as well if you need help. 1-800-STAMP-UP You probably should expect phone lines to be jammed tomorrow, however, with the new website and new catalog!!
ALSO….BONUS DAYS!! TODAY, August 3rd, is actually the LAST DAY to order and receive $5 bonus coupons to use in August. I may have said July 31 was the last day but then I remembered it did run through August 3rd! For every $50 you spend during Bonus Days, you will receive a $5 Bonus Coupon to spend on an order in August.
The new Holiday Catalog, the August-December Mini, begins tomorrow so get your list ready!! If you are new and interested in Stampin’ Up! products and would like a complimentary catalog (or even the Annual Catalog as well), I would be happy to be your Demonstrator and send copies to you! Just send your contact information to me at Karen@Karenstamps.com.
I hope you are as excited for tomorrow as I am! The Holiday Catalog is jam-packed with products! The link to that catalog will go up tomorrow plus, of course, you will see the products in the new Online Store!
Let me know if you have any questions about the new Online Store or Holiday Catalog! Thanks for shopping with me!
