Answer: Great question, Mary Ann!
Let's start with memberships. Breezy Design is, for all intents and purposes, a shopping club. Membership in the club is divided into two types of members: Standard Club Members and Choice Club Members. To become a member, you pay an annual membership fee -- currently $25.00 per year. Once this fee is paid, you become a Standard Club Member, and you are entitled to a 25% discount on all of your purchases. To receive a higher discount, you need to subscribe to our monthly autoship program.
There are two types of subscriptions offered by Breezy Design. Autoship subscriptions and LifeTimez Enterprise subscriptions.
Autoship subscriptions are based on month-to-month single purchase. We offer the PaperSeeds Monthly Kit, and the BreezyD Monthly Certificate. The kit is always $25.00 per month, plus shipping/handling, and represents a retail value of $40.00. The certificate is $25.00 per month and provides you with Breezy Design credits on account (there is no cash value to these credits, nor can they be redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent). Once this purchase is made, your discount rises to 35% for the entire month. You can participate one month, and not the next, and then resume your participation the following month. As long as you subscribe to autoship, you receive the higher discount.
Autoship subscriptions are managed through the Autoship Update Utility. This provides a secure and reliable way to modify your subscriptions from one month to the next. We'll talk about the Autoship Update Utility in more detail in the next post (Jerri has asked us a very interesting question about the Autoship Update Utility).
The second type of subscription is the monthly/quarterly or annual subscription to LifeTimez Enterprise. LifeTimez Enterprise is Breezy Design's online, photobook creation software site. There isn't much information online about the LifeTimez Enterprise program, because the subscription system and related software are currently being updated. In a month or so, subscriptions will be offered for access to this program through the Breezy Design website. For now, we are providing access to this site to all Choice Club Members free-of-charge.
So that's it -- our first installment. You can expect me to periodically update this blog with all things Breezy. Until then -- keep on scrappin!
