10th February 2012

Hi Everyone

Hopefully by now you have all received our Latest Demo Clearance email. (Australian members only)  It’s loaded with fabulous offers on machines to suit everyone. If not, let us know and we’ll check to see why you didn’t get it. 

Remember that sometimes emails can get caught up in spam filters, so don’t forget to check your spam folder. I had email from Virgin Australia the other day with a flight itinerary that got pushed to my spam folder – it sometimes makes no sense.

Upcoming Events
We are well and truly into 2012 now and Christmas feels like an eternity ago. We are participating in some major events in March including:

Brisbane Home Show 3rd to 11th March. RNA Showgrounds. This won’t be a typical Echidna Booth but we are excited to introduce machine embroidery to the home maker market. We will also have an emphasis on Home Based Embroidery business opportunities. 

Brisbane Craft & Sewing Show 22nd to 25th March. Brisbane Exhibition Centre. We will only have a small 3m x 3m booth and hopefully if all goes to plan we will be releasing an exciting new product range which all home sewing and embroidery customers will be delighted with. I can’t say anymore other than it is something that you all use every time you use your machine. That’ll keep you guessing!

Newsletter and Platinum Club Info
Our next Newsletter will be out mid to late April and we will be full of useful information and great specials as usual.

Keep you eyes open for our Platinum Club Renewal offer late in February. We have a fabulous membership bonus coming your way and this year we will be posting the offer to all Echidna members as well as emailing.

Fun with Facebook
Well done to Hayley for creating fun Photo Quiz on the Echidna Facebook page. Although, I was not expecting to see a photo of me at age 24 pop up online. Hayley, a youngster herself at 22, will chalk up her first year with Echidna on the 21st February and along with Kristie aged 22 and Erik aged 24, they are absolutely loving the embroidery industry.  We are so lucky to have enthusiastic young people involved in the industry.   

Anyway, that’s all for now folks.

Cheers

Gary
