{TINKERING INK & VINTAGE ANYTHING}

So in honor of the Cream of Wheat TINKERING INK found this old school advertisement and it inspired a challenge/contest! Since the ad is so vintage and cute...you are challenged to create a Layout, Card or Altered Item that mixes Tinkering Ink Paper and something truly vintage. IT CANNOT BE SOMETHING THAT IS REPRODUCED THAT "LOOKS" VINTAGE... IT MUST BE A REAL VINTAGE ITEM. An old button, piece of a book, lace trim... you get the picture. You have one month to finish this project...and yes there will be FABULOUS PRIZES LIKE $50.00 TO SPEND AT OUR TINKERING INK STORE AT tinkeringink.com!
SEND E-MAIL ENTRIES TO info@tinkeringink.com MAKE THE SUBJECT OF THE E-MAIL "VINTAGE CONTEST" AND SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY BY MIDNIGHT (MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME) MAY 25TH.

More great tips from the current issue of Scrapbook Retailer Magazine

Provide project inspiration that requires just six ingredients, five of which you know your customer already has. The sixth ingredient should be something new and a high-margin, high-retail item. In the consumer's mind, the project is "inexpensive" because she only has to buy one thing.


Use the same principle as Amazon.com: "Customers who bought this item also bought: " Tag your most popular items throughout the store. We all want to be unique and make out purchases based on our own desires, but we are also swayed by our peers and will end up joining the pack if invited.


The great thing about Starbucks is that they have matched their coffees with their pastries. They say, "One grande latte...and do you want to try a yummy, hot breakfast sandwich this morning?" Create your version of their upsell approach and tag on a complementary item that adds to the sale.
