It's been a while…..

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe, either by RSS reader or by email.

You may also like to check out an offer I've put together for you at my other website!

…..since I last wrote the Blog!

And so much has happened.

First off, the brand new website finally got off the ground just in time for the Spring Fair at the NEC.

We’ve received lots of feedback and we’ve taken it all on board, even if we’ve not been able to reply personally.

Some of you have asked about being able to upload your own photos onto the Dream Builder application.

This is something that we have thought about and hope to get into place at some point. However please tell us of any images that you would like to see and we’ll do our best to get them on the site.

We have a new category this month… ‘ Strength’. I have also added new images to ‘Animal World’ and ‘Trees’.

As expected, we’ve come across some bugs and gliches and I’m hoping that they are all ironed out now. Carry on sending the feedback as we love to hear from you all.

Next up… Spring Fair!

It was our first Spring Fair and for those of you that don’t know, it’s the largest gift and greeting card fair in Europe and we were so excited about getting the £1Million note out there.

But then…………………………. it snowed and snowed and snowed and then it snowed a bit more!! The biggest fair in Europe suddenly became the quietest.

We did, however, meet some lovely people and made some great contacts.

The £1Million notes have now found their way into some new retail outlets in places as far afield as New Hampshire in the US!

We’ve been so busy sending out samples, packing notes and cards and talking to buyers. It’s been great fun and a real learning curve for us.

New for this year is our ‘wad’ of £1Million notes. These can be purchased in quantities of 10 or 25.

Please remember that we will be donating 10% of all our revenue for this year to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Welcome to our new blog!

Hello and welcome to the brand new blog from BeingaMillionaire.com, soon to be followed by the brand new BeingaMillionaire website.

Phew!! It’s been a mad time getting this all organised and what with Christmas and New Year disrupting our hard work, it feels like it’s been a long time coming.

By the way…a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our millionaires both old and new, and judging by our latest figures lots of you are joining us for the first time.

2008 saw our first venture into selling the £1Million notes away from the BeingaMillionaire website and some of you may well have found your way to us through www.shinyshack.com who were one of our first stockists.

Our notes are also now available at a number of ‘offline’ retailers but I want to give a special mention to Narborough Hall in Leicestershire which is definately worth a visit. It’s the best gift shop I have ever been to and I’ve been to a lot!

By the way, all our products will continue to be available from us direct and look out for a new wholesale section of the website for trade buyers.

February 2009 sees us venturing into unknown territory with a stand at Spring Fair 2009 where we hope to wow trade buyers with the £1Million notes and our gratitude cards.

April 2009 brings the London Marathon which I’ll be running in to raise funds for Macmillan cancer support. We have pledged to donate 10% of all our proceeds to the cause.

Possibly the most exciting development this year will be launch of our Dream Builder application. It’s almost ready to go and we think you’re going to love it! We’ll be getting some of you to test it out shortly, so look out for an invitation email from us.

Here’s to 2009 and beyond!!!
