Hi there I saw Mommyish is doing $1 daily sales of her styles throught MOC which got me thinking - I pay by Paypal and surely the store must take a hit on paypal fees. I'm likely to be going for a fair few of these deals and am feeling guilty in advance of all the fees that are going to be payable on each day. Would it be better from TLP's point of view if I bought myself a gift certificate for the month and then just kept taking the small amounts off that? Is it even possible to buy myself a gift certificate or can you only send them to someone else? Or am I totally overthinking all of this?
That's very thoughtful - lovely of you, really! Thank you! Yes, the fees are killer on $1 purchases but please don't worry about that too much. It's all part of being a business! However, if you want to buy a gift certificate, you can definitely do that here: https://the-lilypad.com/store/giftcert.php
Actually Laura, whilst I was pondering on my initial question, I thought it would actually be a good way of me budgeting some scrappy spend into each month. When I get paid I could get myself a gift certificate - a bit like a put some cash in an envelope budgeting system - so that I can always have something put by and not squander it on non essentials like food or some such foolishness (LOL joking!). It would be like a little monthly gift to myself. I think this just fits in perfectly with me re-focusing on my own needs this year!
I am really liking the idea of this with helping not to spend too much..... would I ever spend too much.... you bet!
