Dogwood Square Now Takes Discover Card

Dear Friends,

I just got off the phone with the nicest lady. I had called her because I couldn't get a reply to an e-mail I sent her. She told me that she had meant to cancel her order because she wanted to use her Discover Card and she couldn't find that card in those that Dogwood Square would take for payment.

She is from a small town in Michigan near Detroit and said that the economy there was really terrible. She said that even though it is time for shops to start hiring extra people for the holiday rush, no one was hiring this year. Things were so bad that many stores were already advertising 50% off sales just to get people in to buy.

She said that there were a lot of automotive workers where she lives and that the automotive industry was really in dire straights this year. And that there were a lot of people moving because they had lost their jobs.

Now how does that play into the bit about the Discover Card? Well, she said that Discover Card offered bonus points for everything you bought using their card. She said she had gotten coupons good for meals and gas and other things. So she and her family had stopped using all their other cards and only used their Discover Card now. And with the way the economy was going, every little bit helped.

I did end up cancelling her order after all, but she promised me that she would keep us in mind and would buy from us next time. And, because of her, I looked up Discover Card and, sure enough, they do offer a lot of benefits which people all over the country can take advantage of. So it was a no brainer for me, Dogwood Square now takes Discover Card.

I've said this so many times, but I think it is worth repeating...The very best thing about having this business is talking with our customers, whether on the phone or over e-mail. We absolutely have the very best customers!!!

Until next time...

BeBeSounds Monitor Gives New Parents "Peace of Mind"

Dear Friends,

Many of your know that I am a new grandmother. My wonderful little granddaughter was born in April and is now growing "like a weed."

Today I want to talk with you about a gift her Mom was given at one of her baby showers. I was so impressed with it when I saw it that I decided to carry it on the Dogwood Square website. It's called the Angelcare® Movement Sensor w/Sound Monitor.

This monitor has allowed my son and daughter-in-law to be assured that little Brynlea is OK and breathing fine anytime she is in her crib. They have put her to sleep in her own bed in her own room ever since she came home from the hospital.

I remember when my son was born some 29 years ago. Back then every new mother and father was scared to death about SIDS. I can tell you, I was. I kept his crib right next to my bed so I could reach over in the night and touch him and be assurred that he was OK.

The under-the-mattress Sensor Pad detects your baby's slightest movements. If your baby goes absolutely still for 20 seconds, the Sensor Pad sends a signal to the Nursery Unit which sounds an alarm alerting you to check your baby. If you are out of the baby's room, the portable Parents' Unit (Sound Monitor) will pick up the alarm as well as other nursery sounds. In addition, the Nursery Unit has an optional "tic" feature. If the Sensor Pad senses movement, the Nursery Unit will continuously tick. If it doesn't, the ticking will stop.

This is one of the best products I have found to give new parents that "Peace of Mind" that your baby is OK.

You can find several different configurations of this monitor. We sell the one with the under-the-mattress sensor pad, a nursery sound monitor and 2 parents' units. That way you can always keep one of the parent units in your bedroom and another one can be moved around to the kitchen, living room, den, office or other room. The retail for this configuration is $119.99, but our everyday price is $99.00.

If you are looking for one of the best gifts you can give those new parents in your life, please consider this monitor. I don't want to be dramatic, but it may save a life!

Until next time...
