It's a brand new year and we've sourced some fantastic new beads and supplies for your beading projects, many of which have been requested by you.
As an extra bonus, we are giving you a $10 gift voucher with every purchase of $50 or more during March. This applies to all products in our range, including current sale and clearance items.
Gift vouchers will be sent out with each qualifying order and may be redeemed any time within the following 6 months.
So now is a great time to finalise that wish list and plan your next beading project!
After much deliberation I have decided to put Beads Galore on the market.
Other business commitments are taking more and more time, and as family is still at the top of the list, I can no longer dedicate the necessary hours/energy.
This would be a fantastic business for someone wanting to work part-time from home, with the huge advantage of having an established online store generating regular sales and customers.
An excellent cashflow business with serious growth potential.
A warm welcome to all our new subscribers! We don't tend to send individual emails - what with all the mail flying around in cyberspace these days we don't want to bombard you, so generally send out a monthly e-newsletter like this one to keep you informed about specials, promotions and new arrivals. Having said that, please feel free to email us any time if you have any queries, as I'm usually not far from this screen so will make sure to respond straight away.
I hope 2010 has started well for you and that you managed to fit in some relaxing beading time over the summer break. We have managed a few short but lovely breaks, but it's business as usual from now on - after such a lovely summer there is a degree of reluctance ... know the feeling?!
So this newsletter is brief and to the point ... :-)
Our bead room is rather compact, so holiday time presented an opportunity to have a big sort out! However, we still need to make more room, pending new stock lines arriving later this month.
So - we're offering you 20% off a range of gorgeous beads - including some recent arrivals - to free up some shelf space...
20% off ...

A fresh supply of venetians in mixed colours and shapes is now available - the colours are stunning in this mix - and our hugely popular 12mm round blue venetians and red ornate mixes are back!!!
.jpg)
My only concern with the new painted wooden beads is whether we ordered enough! These were the fastest selling item we've ever had, so it's a relief to have new stock. As a complement we now have 12mm plain round wooden beads available as well ...
PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
I've chosen the new fine quality plain mixes - they're so lovely! There's a great combination of shapes in both opaque and transparent glass and the colours are fab - I'm looking forward to making a piece using the black and orange together.
We're also delighted to be able to offer these at $6.20 per 100g pack which is great value.
Happy beading - longer days are here!

Much of the feedback on the projects page is that it is a good source of ideas and inspiration, which was part of the original intention! So check it out if you haven't already - although there are numerous projects with instructions, you may just find that something there inspires some fresh ideas.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

Greetings,
I hope you're keeping warm as winter bites New Zealand!

Just click on the images to view product details, or click here to browse all the new items ...

SAMPLES / PRODUCT REPRESENTATION ON THE WEBSITE
We strive to represent our products with the best possible photos, complete with dimensions, as sometimes it can be difficult to imagine something as small and tactile as a bead! Some items are a bit of a challenge to photograph, particularly some of the blue and turquoise shades. It's also tricky to achieve uniformity as far as scale is concerned.
I am therefore more than happy to send you out a sample in any such cases, if you let me know your requirements via the contact page on the website, email, or phone.
A COUPLE OF SIMPLE PROJECT IDEAS...
Some simple but effective necklaces spotted recently in fashion stores and magazines inspired our latest project.
It is very quick, easy AND cheap to make this single strand, in either leather or chain, which you can thread with beads, charms or pendants of your choice - anything with a centre hole of 5mm or more. Brilliant for day or evening, looks great with a single bead (as pictured) or with several, as well as your favourite pendant. Can also be made to any length you desire.
Each strand has a simple silver lobster clasp fastener. Take a look at our projects page under Single Strand Bespoke Necklace for the step by step instructions.
INTERNET SCAMMERS AND THE BENEFITS OF PAYMATE!
A few months back we received an online enquiry from what appeared to be a store in Australia, requesting a quote for a large shipment of beads and supplies. I did faintly smell a rat, but nevertheless the lady sounded genuine enough so we spent some time on the quotation. After about 2 weeks of emailing to and fro, she was satisfied with the order and requested credit card payment instructions, so we sent the Paymate details through. After a couple of attempts, Paymate contacted us to advise that this was a fraudulent transaction and warned us not to proceed. This is obviously a growing scam worldwide, as since then we have received similar enquiries more and more regularly.
This just goes to show the effectiveness of Paymate's security systems, and highlights the value of using a Paymate affiliated merchant for online credit card transactions, for both the customer and the merchant!
So if you or anyone you know sells products on the internet, please take heed of and pass on this warning.
Have a fantastic month!

WHAT'S NEW ...
New stocks of Indian glass ornate mix have just arrived and they are absolutely stunning, with a selection of gorgeous foils, venetians and lampworks and a good variety of shapes and sizes in the mix. Here are examples of the new brown, turquoise and black mixes ...
We are always delighted with the quality of these mixes, which are sourced from the finest manufacturer in India. As the selection in these tends to vary slightly from shipment to shipment, we are in the process of updating the photos on the site to better represent the content, size and proportions of the 100g and 500g bead packs.
Our Pandora style range is proving to be incredibly popular, so consequently we have sold out of many of the glass Pandora style beads. We have just ordered some yummy new ones in the latest colours and designs and these should arrive within the next couple of weeks - keep an eye on new products to check them out.
HANDLING CHARGE
We have never had a minimum order quantity, however a handling fee of $5 will apply on all orders less than $10 in value.
That's about it for now. Remember to check out our links page for links to sites with great ideas and tips, plus a few other good sites we're affiliated with.

ITEM OF THE MONTH - EARRING MAKER'S PACK
The item we've chosen this month is the earring maker's pack. This was inspired by a creative and enterprising friend of mine, who decided to make earrings as Xmas presents and so asked me to make up a special pack. It was such a success we decided to make it a regular item.
These packs contain a hand-picked selection of 12 pairs of gorgeous glass beads, including silver foil squares, venetians and art glass, in a variety of colours, as well as headpins and hooks. They are great for making gifts, making earrings to sell (very quick to make and affordable for buyers), or just for yourself, so you will always have earrings to match anything you wear.At $14.50 for 12 pairs, this represents excellent value for money.
