Dear Friends and Community Members,
I am writing today to introduce you to our new Membership Program and also to ask you for some help.
Early to Bed has had a very busy year and we have some great programming that we are working on for the near future, but we also find ourselves needing to gain some more financial stability. In these unstable economic times, we want to make sure that we can remain a community-oriented business*, so we’re introducing a Membership Program as a sort of ”building fund”. This will help EtB maintain a long-term future and allow us to continue to do the work that we do. By becoming a member you will be investing not only in our success but also in your own long-term sexual pleasure for years to come!
We know that there our lots of people out there who appreciate what we do and would like to see us thrive, so below we have some suggestions on how you can help that happen**:
• Become a Member! You not only get great benefits (see here) but you also will have the knowledge that your membership will help to keep a community-oriented business successful.
• Come shop! By making us your first choice place for lube, condoms and all your bedroom essentials, you support a small business that works hard to be ethical, affordable and contribute to the local community all while working with customers on a personal level to help them find the supplies and information that they need.
• Be an affiliate! If you have a website or a blog you can sign up to be an affiliate and make money just by referring folks to our website. Click here for more info on how to do that.
• Host a Party with us! There are many ways to have private shopping or workshop experience with us and we’d love to have the opportunity to share our goods and our knowledge with your friends in your home or after hours at our shop.
• Join our Street Team! If you are planning on going to any events this summer (Pride, Dyke March, MarketDays, Lollapalooza ect.. ) and want to chat up folks about how awesome we are click here to learn how you can volunteer to be on the ETB Street Team.
• Tell your friends! Tell the world! Word of mouth is the absolute best advertising we can get so let folks know that ETB is a great place to shop. Post about us on Facebook, write up a review for us, whisper our name in your lover’s ear. And if you ever want a stack of business card coupons to pass out to buddies just email me (searah@early2bed.com) and ask for a Promo Pack and I’ll send you some to pass on (or come in the shop any time and pick some up).
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you all for support you have give me & Early to Bed over the years. I feel incredibly privileged to be able to do this work and will continue to work hard to make Early to Bed a place that you are proud to call your favorite sex shop!
xoxo,
Searah
