Hi everyone! I’m Catherine, one of Scott’s loyal fans, and I’m here to tell you why you need to get involved in this year’s challenge! Forget all the Christmas in July stuff… this truly is The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! If you followed #ScottSentMe2019, you may remember me as @sewhappy88, the very lucky winner, or you may recognize the name Catherine Brown from participation in the many Facebook contests that Scott has hosted.

As I am writing this blog post, the #JaftexVideoChallenge2021 is currently underway and going strong. If you weren’t aware, that is my personal and corporate challenge to get fabric resellers (my customers) to submit a shop tour video to me of their business that I will then post on my page @jaftexpresident Facebook page for the world to see.

We are about 1/4 the way into the Jaftex Facebook Live Shop Tour Video Challenge. Things are moving along really nicely. It is great to see so many of our Jaftex customers stepping up right out of the gate. I have seen great improvements in the quality of the videos in general.

Please continue to support this contest by encouraging business owners to make a video, but also please take some time to go to my @jaftexpresident Facebook…
