ReRetail Roundup 23-08-12: All of the action!

Thursday Roundup:
Hello! It sure has been a while. Hasn't it? We've been working like small christmas gnomes making toys (except we're not in the business of making toys... we're not very good at similes).

But we are in the business of toys! Alex Toys to be exact. Alex are a fantastic company who make a range of Toys that are ethical and environmentally friendly - All the inks are bio-degradable and the wood is from sustainable forests.  If that's not all, we're offering free shipping on our entire range of Alex Toys. Just use the code FREEALEX during checkout.

Not only that, if you look to the left you'll have a sneak peek at what we'll be stocking soon! We like saving stuff, and rhinos too! These notepads are a perfect match for us! Expect to seem them up soon.

But that's enough about work-stuff. Lets talk Olympics! What a closing ceremony that was! Our favourite part was the massive John Lennon Face. And Freddy Mercury. But they're not over yet! We've still got the Paralympics on our doorstep, so lets hope for a few more medals on the table.

Of course, even though the main olympics have finished, you can still use the code LONDON2012 for 20.12% off of all items in stock until the close of the Paralympics (9th September).

Over the next couple of weeks we're off to a couple of trade fairs, so expect to see some cool things from us when we get back.

Roundup 14/06/12: Elephants, Bags and Cookies

Hello again! Hope you're all watching the journey of the Olympic flame. There's a simmering excitement here in ReRetail towers, it seems that the flame will be passing fight in front of Kate's house (i guess some people get all the luck). Until then, we're keeping a close eye on Flamewatch 2012. Remember, you can still get 20.12% off of all of our items using the code LONDON2012.

 We've got something cool to show you this week, if you're reading from the top down, you've probably already guessed what it is (if you're reading from the bottom up, try not to spoil the ending from everyone else).

Because we're such big fans of the Button Bag Craft Kits, we've recently got in a set of their Jungle Jumbo Elephants but you've got to be quick! This design is part of a limited run and once we've ran out of stock, they're gone!

Also, some more news regarding our reusable shopping bag giveaway. We've decided to extend the length of the promotion into infinity!

Well, not quite. But after some serious negotiation (we wore ties and everything!) we've been permitted to allocate a larger amount of our stock of reusable shopping bags to use as gifts. What that means to you is that all purchases through our webstore will come with a free bag! Whilst stocks last because, once again, when they're gone, they're gone.

It seems that, since our last update, cookies on the internet have become a serious talking point. So we decided to find some internet cookies and work out what it was all about.  What we found was a was a large amount of lawyer-words. But we muddled on.

In short, ReRetail Ltd does not gather any information from cookies but the software we use to power our online store (Zencart) does utilise cookies to aid with shopping, for more information on how Zencart uses cookies, please click here. We're trying to sort it so our website has an opt in/out notification but, at the time of writing, there isn't a working Zencart Addon available.


Phew, all that talk of cookies is making me hungry, so we'll see you next time!

Remember you can use the code LONDON2012 to get 20.12% off of all items in store until the end of the olympics!

Roundup 25/05/12: We're everywhere!

Hello! Is it really that time of week again? (erm, no, actually, We're a day late). We've been quite the hive of activity here at ReRetail, but then the sun came out. So we've been spending the last few days eating ice lollies and trying to remember where we left our sunglasses last summer (the glove box, right? It has to be, i've checked everywhere else).

But! Before the sun came out and we actually got some work done!

Is an advert on your own
blog really an advert?

If you've been down to the internets recently, you might of seen our grand overlord (or Boxey) about the place. Yes, it's true. We've gone corporate, we'll be wearing keyboard ties and talking into shoe-box sized mobile phones soon enough (we have, apparently, only ever watched a Betamax about corporate culture).

We have also, along with the FaceBook and Google ad's, started advertising using Project Wonderful, so if you browse any sites that use their advertising system, you might just see our ad's popping up all over the place.

Exciting times indeed. Anyway, enough about us. Just enough time for a stock update before we can all go back outside into the sun.

The Indra Leather Journals we've mentioned a few times really are flying off of the shelves, so much that we've placed our fourth order to our supplier in the (around) two months we've been stocking them. So rest assured, anything that's out of stock/low stock should be back in shortly!

I think that's everything for this week, see you next time! Until then, thanks for reading and please remember that we're still giving away Reusable shopping bags (until the end of May).

Thursday Roundup 17-05-12: Olympic Special!

Poor blog, you've been quite neglected recently, haven't you? But fear not! We have a Very Special Roundup this week. 

And this is the reason why! We here at ReRetail, sadly, didn't make Team GB this year (and unless the Olympic Committee accept our petition to make Competitive Tea Making a recognised event, it's unlikely we ever will) so we're doing our bit to help keep Olympic Fever high.

So, from the time the Olypmic Flame arrives in England (Tomorrow - 19th May) until the close of the Paralympic games (9th September) you can get 20.12% off of all the items in our store by using the code LONDON2012. So, if you've wanted to stock up on enough MakeDo to keep the kids busy all summer, or just want to kit out a fantastic garden party using our range of Doy Bag items, now's the chance to make a massive saving!

Phew, that was quite a post. Sorry again for the gaps between posts, we should be getting our posting back on track very shortly. We will be taking a closer look at some of the stuff we've got that could make your Olympics a bit more Eco-Friendly.

Until then, thanks for reading and please remember that we're still giving away Reusable shopping bags (until the end of May), we'll see you next week!

Thursday Roundup 10-5-12: Sorry for the delay.

These owls didn't think there was any delay,
but owls don't own calendars.

Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? It's been a hectic week (...or so) here at ReRetail, but enough about us, let's get into the Roundup!

Week Recap:
Ok, so I said enough about us, but how about just a little more about us; As you've probably guessed (from our radio-silence) it's been a bit all-hands-on-deck here at ReRetail but we've managed to get all our orders out on time! So congratulations to us, hopefully we should be back to our regularly scheduled programming soon!

Product News:
During our absence a couple of our discount codes ran out. so we big farewell to BUILDABOXEY and FRIDAYFUN, which are no longer active codes.

But, on the bright side, our Blog code and Facebook Advert code are still alive and kicking! and, better still, all orders placed through our webstore will receive a free re-usable animal shopping bag! (But you'll have to be quick, stocks are running out fast!).

Signoff:

Only a short Roundup this week, it's still a flurry of work over here. We'll see you next week (when everything should be back to normal, should), when (as a bit of a sneak peek) we might have some cool news about one of our ranges! (That was a bit vague, but it's all we can say at the moment, check back next week!)

Thursday Roundup 26-04-12

Like these little guys? Want one, for free? Then read on...

Hello and welcome to this weeks Roundup! It's been a busy week here at ReRetail towers, we've got kitten updates, bags from nuns, and free gifts! But that's enough from me, lets get into the Roundup!


Week Recap: 

I managed to get this photo
before being shoo'd away.

Since our Friday Fun, Kate has really taken a liking to the Kitten Basket we featured, and while we'll be back with them tomorrow to finish off the rest of the kit. Kate's been busy all week manically sewing the third kitten to join ReRetails new Clerical Staff (Bumble and Marmalade), these kits really aren't just for kids, they're also for crafty (like a fox!) or particularly child-like adults too!

Something special arrived on our doorstep this week, no not another kitten, but a set of children's school bags - hand made by nuns, no less! We'll talk about these once we've sorted them all and got them up on the shop, but we can say that they are really nice, and are for a good cause (so thats doubly good!) - watch out for them in a future Spotlight!


Product News:
A quick product update this week, we just wanted to say that, due to a sudden surge in popularity, we have almost sold out of all the Medium and Small leather journals. But fear not! You haven't missed your chance! We've placed another order with Paper High so we should be back in stock very soon.

Signoff:

Now, before we sign off for the week - the moment you've been waiting for!

As you can see from the banner picture, we have these re-usable carrier bags around here. They got us thinking, wouldn't it be great if you could have one, for free? 

Of course it would, which is why we've decided that, until our supply of freebie bags run out (or the end of May, whichever comes first) every order through our webshop (sorry eBay customers! This is just for the webshoppers) will get a randomly selected bag. 

If that's not incentive enough, if you're quick enough you can use this in conjunction with any of our currently active offers! 

Here's a reminder of the currently active discount codes:

For Free Shipping, use the code FRIDAYFUN - Valid until the 4th of May.

For 15% off all Makedo items, use the code BUILDABOXEY - Valid until the 30th April.

and, as always, for 12.5% off of all our items, use the blog code to the left, and a FaceBook advert code, which is a secret. 

Thank you for reading and that's all for the Roundup for this week. We'll see you Tuesday for the Spotlight! Remember to check back tomorrow for the Kitten-y conclusion to last weeks Friday Fun.

Thursday Roundup 19-04-12

Hello again! Welcome back to the Thursday roundup, our weekly (ish) newsletter (ish) post about the going on in and around ReRetail Towers (...ish). Now with a fancy new format!

Week Recap: 
Well what a week this has been! Last Friday we completed our Friday Fun big project 'Project Boxey' which really put our artistic skills to the test. I'm pleased to report that Boxey is steeling into his new surroundings and seems quite happy.  We also received a very nice write-up/post about it from Makedo, which caused this to happen:

Up is good

 Which means, in basic terms, that it's more than just our mums who read this, so thank you to everyone reading this, and a special thank you to Makedo for making such a fantastic product.

Check out Makedo here or on FaceBook.

Product News:
The Elephant Dung Journals we mentioned last week are now back in stock (all sizes) in limited quantities, these items are quick sellers so get them before their gone again!


Also the Embossed/Stitched A4 Leather Journal that impressed me last week seems to have impressed you as well, as we're down to our last one!






Signoff:
Thanks, again, for reading and remember! Until the 30th of April you can still get 15% off of all makedo items using the code BUILDABOXEY (restrictions apply) and, if that's not enough, you can get 12.5% off of all our products (forever!*) using the code IMFROMTHEBLOG (restrictions apply).

A little birdy has also told me that you can get 15% off of our entire range by using some kind of discount code from some kind of FaceBook advert that we have. So if you can find it (it's like a treasure hunt) you can get yourself quite a nice saving.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you Tuesday for the Spotlight (remember to check in tomorrow for the Friday Fun!)

Thursday Roundup 12-04-12

Hello and welcome to the newest thing in blog (well, our blog), the Thursday Roundup! 'Whats a Thursday Roundup' you say? Well, it's like a newsletter but it comes up here every Thursday (like a newsletter) and features a summary of all thats been going on over the past week (like a newsletter). 

...Basically it's pretty much exactly like a newsletter, but we've decided to call it a Thursday Roundup, which makes it different (somehow). Anyway, on with the show!

Embossed & Stitched
Indra Leather Journal - A4

First up, we have our (newly restocked!) selection of fantastic journals from Paper High. The Indra leather journals are a particular favourite of mine, and the A4 (right) really caught my eye.

The journals have approximately 125 pages (less for the smaller sizes) of paper made from Recycled Cotton from the Indian garment industry. Which makes these both fairly traded and eco friendly!  They come in a variety of styles (pictured is stitched & embossed with clasp). Also avalible from Paper High is Coloured Leather, Leather, Sari and Elephant Dung. Check them out here.

Button Bag Kitten Basket

Next up we have two new additions to our store, the first is from Button Bag, which are craft kits for kids (or crafty grown-ups) which you can use to make all sorts of fluffy things, such as Kittens (left), Owls, Mice, and more. 

As you can see from the picture these items should come with a dentists warning, because of their incredible sweetness. Expect to see more of these on here in the future. Check them out here.

Choc-o Juice Carton Place Mats

And finally we have just started stocking a rage of place mats and home-wares from Doy Bags. All Doy Bag items are made from recycled juice cartons  by a women's co-operative in the Philippines. 

"Wipe-clean and eco friendy? Is it true?" You bet your bottom dollar it is. These placemats look great and come in a variety of designs. Check them out here. We also stock matching coasters, check them out here. 

Well, it's been a busy week, hopefully next week we have as much (or more) cool stuff to show off to you! Remember you can get 12.5% off of all these items (and all the items in our webstore) using the code IMFROMTHEBLOG (restrictions apply).  

As always you can find our shop Here, also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for reading and we'll see you tomorrow for some Friday Fun!
