The Keepsake Ornament Club will not be issuing a Local Club ornament for local Keepsake Ornament Club members this year.
Here is the announcement that was included in an email sent out to Local Club presidents earlier today.
“This year, we will not be providing a free Local Club Gift (ornament) to our local clubs.
We know this may be disappointing to you and your local club members, and for that, we do sincerely apologize. We never set out to disappoint our most loyal Keepsake Ornament collectors, especially those so heavily involved with their community through their local clubs. Please understand that although we will not be providing a free local club ornament, we are still VERY much committed to all of YOU and your local clubs, and have BIG plans for 2020 to provide tools and activities to help you continue to grow all of your local clubs. We are looking forward to getting to spend time with you and your local clubs this summer on our Keepsake Artist Signing Events.”
Don’t care for the club ornaments this year. No club gift. Any point in joining now?
I agree, there is no reason to join a local club. That was the only benefit you got for being a member of a local club.
I got this email and to me it says: Hallmark isn’t willing to spend the money for a club mini but wants to keep clubs growing to insure and increase sale of Keepsakes. I am not expecting much for my club this year.
