ALPACA HOODIE SUPPORTS THE TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Mayu’s designer, Laddhavan Sutana, invited us to donate one of our super cute long alpaca hoodies for a silent auction she was attending.  Laddhavan’s sister is actively involved in the Trailblazer Foundation which works in Cambodia

The goal of the Trailblazer Foundation in Cambodia is the following:

By providing training and appropriate technology, we empower rural villagers to create self-sustaining programs.

Our focus includes water projects, school construction, and community development in order to foster healthy families, sufficient food, and sustainable incomes.

We were happy to be part of the silent auction and hope that somebody special is enjoying their hand-knit, fair trade alpaca hoodie from Mayu

ARE YOU A PAST CUSTOMER? REFER A FRIEND. RECEIVE A $25 GIFT CARD.

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

OK, so I admit, it is tough to sell Mayu’s beautiful alpaca accessories on an exclusively online basis. We know you want to feel the alpaca fiber, try the products on and well, SEE them! On the other hand, we know that when you swear to your friends about a certain product or brand, they usually trust you so they bite the bullet and make the purchase.

Therefore, we are asking you, a PAST CUSTOMER, to INSIST that your friends buy something from Mayu! If you were happy with your Mayu purchase, we know they will be happy too.

HERE’S HOW:

1. Tell your friend about our hand-knit, eco-friendly, fair trade alpaca clothing.

2. Your friend mentions your name in the comment box during checkout.

3. Mayu sends you a $25 gift card*

* Gift card is for use 1-time ONLY (unless, of course, you refer another friend)
* Gift card is to be used on full-price items ONLY
* Unfortunately, if your friend returns her Mayu purchase, you won’t receive your gift card

For questions, email info@shopmayu.com. And, if you haven’t taken our 20 second customer satisfaction survey, please do. We really appreciate your input!

We realize we’d be nowhere without our loyal customers so we are asking your help to help spread the Mayu word!

Enjoy,

Kate
