Rebekah Scott Designs has tried a completely new way of doing trunk shows, via Skype! We tried this last Saturday morning with host Paula Pierce from Rapid City. She was equipped with one suitcase full of 21 purses, 10 cosmetics, one Barbie and one Pixie. We also included plenty of marketing tools to help with also.
The show actually happened by mistake. I was going to be present and do the show in Rapid City when things fell through with travel, so we decided to still do the show by sending the bags and then being able to see and chat during the show via Skype.
Skype is a free service that allows people from all over the world to see eachother and chat on their computers. It is a wonderful service and we may be using it even more now!
The show presented a few kinks, but I am sure we can iron them out before the next show! All in all, the host Paula, received her great credit and I still got to meet her friends and family and tell everyone what I do and love for a living. If you think a Skype show is a possibility for you, contact us at www.shoprsd.com and let’s talk about booking a show!

Here we go! Christmas is only 51 days away, can you believe it? I love Christmas, and I have been listening to Christmas music for at least 2 weeks now! Our son Gus even sings jingle bells with hope in his eyes, or at least I like to think so!

With Christmas this close we should go over the Rebekah Scott Designs Christmas rush! During the holidays are turnaround increases to four weeks. So we would like the orders placed for Christmas by Dec. 7th so we can have our your gifts out in time to celebrate. We will of course accept orders after the 7th, but will be limited to what we can get done and what we have in stock to send out. If you are designing your own, the best way to have it in time is email us your ideas by Dec. 7th, so we can clarify and finalize it all. You may still order and buy after the 7th, it just becomes a bigger rush and tougher to make sure everything is out by then.

We have two big shows coming up that you can shop at as well. The Autumn Festival is Nov 12th-15th in Shakopee MN at Canterbury Park. We love this show, a huge number of booths are there with super talented artisans and the show really ushers in the holiday spirit.

We also have the Minglewood Art Show Dec 4th-5th in Sioux Falls. This is home show hosted by my good friend Carmen Dyar. She hosts this show in her home with 6 other artists. Her home is inspiration enough to go. The show is free to attend and so worth it just to see her home! She is a very talented decorator and she merchandises all the artists items a week in advance to show off that weekend. I love this show, so personal and so much fun to feel the Christmas spirit all around. I bring all my goods to buy or you can design your own as well. This is my 4th year doing her show and each year it gets better and better. So reserve the first weekend in December, the 4th and 5th for the Minglewood Studios Merry Merry Christmas Marketplace. I will send out our invite closer to the date with directions and times. We offer 10% off for both shows by printing this blog entry, and also for ordering before Dec. 7th, it pays to shop early .

As for other news, we are busy- busy filling orders for Barbies and Pixies for the upcoming shows and salons. They pick up in popularity during the holidays and really fly off the shelves. The Wristlet’s are $28 and the Pixies are $30 along with the Cosmetics at $15, so they are great gift ideas and stocking stuffers. We have placed 8 new wristlets at Hip Chic boutique in downtown Sioux Falls this, and will have 4 Barbies and 4 Pixies at the Atoley Salon in Sioux Falls. We are also selling the often sold-out Bobby pins at the Atoley Salon. We sent 4 of the new scrunchy scarves to Trendz Boutique in downtown Brookings SD with 100 bobby pins. Shop now and shop big before they sell out!

Enjoy this season of bliss and family and always express your inner beauty.
