New A Muse Website

Hello Friends,

It's been a while since I've blogged.  I've missed you!  I had a lovely vacation with my family at our cottage in Quebec for the month of July.  The weather was not the greatest but we swam every day and the girls didn't mind the crazy rain too much.  I love this picture of Makenna and her friend, Thomas, standing on the raft late one afternoon - it pretty much sums up the weather we had for the duration of our visit.

OK, enough about our trip!  I'm sure you are eager to hear about our new website!

As we've mentioned in a previous blog post, the A Muse Crew has been busy working behind the scenes on lots of exciting changes for A Muse.  Our goal is to consolidate all of our online marketing to simplify things for you!   

The GOOD news!
I am thrilled to let you know that our new website is ready to go! Apparently the changes have to filter throughout the 'world wide web' so some folks might see the new site right away, while it may take up to 24 hours for others.  (I can see it now - can you?)

Here's what you will see:

   

You may now order all of our products online in one place through a secure website.  We have been testing the site over the past few days and everything seems to be working well.  However, if you encounter any problems, please email us.  There is an email link right on the home page.

Our store locator feature is not available yet.  If you need assistance locating a store near you, please contact us.  Also, we have exciting plans for a revamped Design Studio but they will not be implemented until the fall. 

For those of you that are intimately familiar with our old site, you will see that we have changed our product categories. We hope they make it easy and logical to find what you are looking for.  For example, you will find all of our new A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA stamps (Holiday) in the Seasons category, Winter & Christmas sub-category.  There is also a robust search function that should help you easily find what you are looking for.

The BAD news
We know that you are all super-excited to see our new products for Fall & Halloween.  Unfortunately, these will not be available on the new site until Monday, August 25th at midnight [Pacific time].  I know we promised them for today, and we are truly sorry to disaappoint.  Just a few more days...  In the meantime, your local stores should have the new products at the end of this week.

August Birthday girls
If you've signed up for our Birthday List and have a birthday in the month of August, we have a promo coupon for our new website that we'll be emailing you shortly. 

Haven't signed up for our Birthday list yet  { you don't need to tell us how young you are! we just need the month and day of your birthday. }  All you need to do is re-register by clicking here and updating your registration to include your birthday information.  You need to be a member of our email list to participate in our Birthday program.

We hope you enjoy our new website.  Thank you for your continued support of A Muse.

Hugs,

Note to Firefox users:  If you are using an older version of Firefox, you may experience some strange "shifting" of items on our new website.  These issues will be resolved if you upgrade to the latest version.

This is my first time commenting on a blog ever! I just had to let you know that your new website is FANTASTIC! Wow! Everything just comes to life. The images are crisp and clear and sooooooo colorful. It is easy to navigate and I can see that my checking account is in serious trouble.

Great, great job!
