#ScottSentMe2021 Participating Shops & Enticing Offers

Hello #ScottSentMe2021 challengers and hello to all my awesome fabric retailer customers out there. We are a few weeks into the #ScottSentMe2021 Challenge (here are the rules) and I wanted to take the time to make sure you all know about the shop opt-in list as well as the special offers that retailers are putting out there to entice you to visit their stores.

If you are a consumer planning to go out and visit shops for the challenge, you should be sure to check on this list before you do anything. The list will provide you with all the shops that have opted-in to the challenge specifically. But, please note that if a shop isn’t on this list, that it DOESN’T mean they aren’t part of the contest. To be clear, you can choose any shop in the US or Canada to visit….they don’t have to be a Jaftex customer nor do they have to be on the list. Every single visit you make will count towards the number of shop visits you make in total.

When looking at the list, you will notice that it is in order by state so it is easy to review if you are looking to visit one or two states at a time. A good bunch of shop details are on the list too i.e. address and phone number. I suggest calling ahead before going to a shop just to make sure they aren’t closed or their hours aren’t limited or changed. There is nothing more frustrating than making the effort to visit a shop only to find out it is closed. That is surely one way to screw up a good plan.

In the last column of the chart, on the far right, you will see it says “Our promotion for #ScottSentMe.” Note that the blog isn’t really set for a chart so make sure to use your arrow key on your keyboard to reveal the entire listing of promos to entice you to visit shops on the list. There are lots of truly great offers to be excited about and I am so thankful for all the retailers that have taken the time to opt-in and play along with this challenge.

Regarding the promotions, please note that the list will be complete and final around September 15, 2021, but we will not accept any more submissions after that date. Therefore, if you are a retailer, you have a few more days to submit your opt-in shop listing as well as your promotion. To make it easy for you, I am including a link right here that will take you right to the opt-in form. This will take you a total of 5 minutes or less and there is no reason why you shouldn’t put your shop out there and get into the mix.

To me, the question is, why wouldn’t you opt-in? The only reason that I can think of not to opt-in is that you already have too many customers (doubtful) or your shop is permanently closed. In other words, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON NOT TO GET YOUR NAME ON THE LIST! Please sign up for the good of all the amazing consumers playing along with this challenge.

The long story short is that I, Scott Fortunoff, and my Jaftex Companies are trying to help our customers sell more fabric and get new customers to their store. If they don’t accept our help by participating in all that we have going on to promote quilt shops and their businesses, there is not much else we can do to help them. But also, shop owners need to help themselves by paying attention to everything that we are doing to help them, as our valued customers, win. #ScottSentMe2021 is the perfect opportunity and an easy one at that to put shops out there and open them up to the opportunity of having lots of new visitors.

Thank you to everyone playing. For consumers, I hope you have so much fun and get to see tons of amazing shops and lots of new products. For shop owners, I hope this helps you gain lots of foot traffic. In the end, this is just one more opportunity for all of us to celebrate fabric together and our amazing textile industry.

Be safe out there and have fun!

xoxo
