April Newsletter
Welcome to My April Newsletter!
Hello Spring! Our first full month of spring is upon us and the temperatures are showing that upward trend.
Last month we transitioned to a 3rd party shipper and have begun to ship from IDS in Indiana. If you placed an order that has not yet shipped, it should ship this week. I am keeping an eye on the orders. Note: Your orders will be delivered by FedEx now.
The last week of March, I hosted a Pop-up Party in my VIP group on Facebook. I am bringing that same party to my webpage on April 11th at 7 pm. If you are not on Facebook, here is your chance to see how you can host your own party right here! No Facebook required
With the new format being used on my website for the newsletter, I will be able to archive newsletters in case you wanted to go back and look at something.
Check out everything in my newsletter and come back a few times during the month to catch anything that happens mid-month!
Your favorite (I hope) TS Consultant – Gail J
Website Visit Winners
We had a little over 120 visits to my website (tsbygailj.com) in March.
I draw one free sample for every 20 visits to my website during the month.
Although we had over 120 visits, I only know of 18 people who visited. Since the purpose of this is to draw folks to my website, I drew 5 winners from those I know visited.
The winners are:
- Jenny Bryant
- Donna Carrow
- Ellie Blackwell
- Maria Hassel
- Abbie Uhler
- Dawn Beck
I know you visited 2 ways: If you click on the emails I send via Constant contact or complete a form from the website.
My website host tells me how many folks visited.
So, if you are checking out my website from a text message or just coming back to see what may be new, fill out the form so I know you were here!

Any party type qualifies except for fundraisers. In that case, I will give you the cash equivalent to the rewards.

You earn half price items (any item counts, even collections) when someone books a party from your party.

What better way to kick it off than hosting a party and earning the Salad Shakeup 5 Meal Kit valued at $49.99.

***You can host your own party during the scroll party if you like OR use the party in my FB group OR host a sampling party.***
