Newsletters are currently distributed bi-monthly (near the beginning of the month and one week before the meeting). The deadlines to receive information to be included in the newsletters will be the 5th day of the month and the 15th day of the month. Please send submissions by email to info@fashion-entrepreneurs.com. With your submission please include the following as applicable:

Members-Only Discounts & Incentives

We want to be able to offer additional incentives for our members. This is also a great way for you to market your business. We ask that members consider providing promotional items to be included in our membership bags. If you need ideas for items there's lots of companies both locally and online that sell such items with your logo imprinted on them. Check out some of them here.

We are also putting together a list of offers to provide to our members. If you'd like to offer a free gift with a purchase or offer a percentage off of purchases to our members let us know. This is a good way to acquire a customer with lower marketing costs. Send an email detailing your offer or incentive to
