Many
thanks to all of you loyal Independent Shoppers who keep this
website and Your Independent Stores going. Have
you ever...
* Driven past a chain store to get to Your
Independent Store?
* Placed a special order with Your Independent Store,
where they cheerfully
phone you when product comes in?
* Been greeted by name in Your Independent Store?
* Been grateful for the kids play area while you shop?
* Knowingly paid a few cents more for a product because
it keeps the light
on in Your Independent Store?
* Attended a fabulous class or a weekend retreat at
Your Independent Store?
* Learned a new technique or how to use your existing
tools, at Your
Independent Store?
*
Spotted a new product on the internet, but gone to Your
Independent Store
to buy it?
If so, then YOU have helped to Support Our
Stores
&
we Thank You!!!
Now we
want to show our thanks to you and invite you to join our
"Support Our Stores" Campaign. Here’s the deal...
First,
mail us a receipt ASAP for $10.00 or more, from any store that
you find listed on this site. (Click here for
mailing address). Receipt MUST be dated 2008. (Don't have a
Maps-2-Memories Store close to you? You can
shop any of these stores online
and submit that receipt!)
As soon as we receive
your receipt we’ll mail you your official S.O.S. Keytag (good
for discounts!) and a link to a secret website for MEMBERS ONLY!

But wait... What’s
that? What are the advantages to becoming an Official
SOS Member? Besides the
cute, decorative keychain? Well, we’re glad you asked, because
that’s the best part! Here's what you get...
1. The
official SOS keychain will get you a 5% discount at any
Maps-2-Memories store on the first Saturday of every month, and
other designated days throughout the year. WOW!
2. It
will also get you automatically entered in our monthly drawing for a fantastic
SOS Box worth well over $100 in scrapbooking supplies, AND...
3. It gives you
access to our secret website
so you can enter our weekly Mile
Marker Quizzes and monthly drawings. You’ll have
4 chances to win every month, and every month we’ll give away
over $100 in scrapbooking supplies, all year long!
Remember,
you can’t enter and you can’t play without your keytag-- so get
out there and get shopping and mail us your receipts today!
Simple
enough? We hope so. After all, we all know “you get what you
pay for,” and saving a few cents at a Big Box Store or on the
internet won’t mean much if our Independent stores disappear. If
that happens, the Big Box Stores will dictate all terms to the
Industry Manufacturers and there will be no place to buy paper
by the sheet, embellishments, and many of the things we all now
take for granted. No more special orders, Friday night crops or
classes. And no retailer who will pick up a line simply because
customers want it. Those decisions will all be made out of a
central office on the other side of the country.
So let’s get out
there and do our part to keep them going! All it takes is a
$10 investment and you can help us
Support Our Stores!
