Hello there people who open random emails off strangers on the internet. I’m Ross and I’m about to tell you that we’ve added more stuff to the website. There. Done. Onto my next thing to do. Ha. Jokes. Time to write some shite for half hour.
More Stuff Added Plus...
Before I even mention that we’ve added stuff to the website, I will start this off by saying we now have stackable discounts on the website.
You might be there going “Ross, wtf is a stackable discount?”
Well my friend, a stackable discount is where you use multiple discounts at once. Like if you’re in Asda and you do 2 for £7 on meat and then 4 for £3 on yogurts. You don’t get to the checkout and then have them say “Sorry mate, one discount at a time”. You can have the two as they’re multi-buy ones.
We now have the same.
So from here on out we’re doing:
10 for £10 on Teddy Pots
And…
10% off Clamshells when buying 3 or more
You don’t even have to do anything. You could simply add ten Teddy Pots to your basket, then add 3 Teddy Clamshells, and just like that you’ve got the discounts. On top of that, you can then use your Teddy points too.
Although I’ll be honest, we have tweaked the Teddy Points rewards slightly. Before, if you had 150 points you could redeem it for a £15 off voucher and you’d have to spend £30 before you’re able to use it. We have the minimum spend on there just to protect us against too much loss in revenue. As you can imagine, if a bunch of people used £15 off vouchers on £15 orders we’d be a little bit sodomized.
So we have upped it slightly.
It used to be that the discount was around the 50% mark. So £15 off a £30 spend, £10 off a £20 spend etc. Now it’s more like £15 off a £40 spend. £10 off a £30 spend. This is just to protect us slightly with the added automatic discounts going out.
We really are trying to meet in the middle with everyone
We know the cost of living is going up. For us personally, we have less money to spend. For us as a business things are costing a little bit more, but naturally we still need X amount per month to survive. So we’re trying to make it easier for people to do smaller orders.
Before, if you wanted 10 Teddy Pots, it would be £12 + £3.75 postage.
Now it’s ten for £10 and then £2.50 postage as a large letter. So you’re saving £3.25.
I know it’s not a massive saving, but we’re trying to find actual solutions that aren’t “hey we now have Clearpay to help you out!” I’ve seen a few places sell Clearpay as if it’s a solution and it’s realllllly pissing me off. We all know it’s a load of bollocks, please don’t fall for it.
Oh… What’s been added?
So yeah… we’ve added some more stuff to the website. Some regular stuff like new scents:
Which sounds like a proper weird combination but it’s actually alright.
Then we’ve also done another Charity Pot for Bloody Good Period - which will also be in the period box - but here it is:
Which we’ve done as pots for two reasons really:
It actually BLEEDS when you melt it. That would’ve been harder to do as a clamshell
Giving 100% of sales to charity is hard to do, but it isn’t as bad of a hit when done as pots.
For those that really want to know and are curious where we currently are as a business, then our sales are down around 40% or so from earlier in the year. So we’ve had to make some adjustments, map out the following 6+ months on the spreadsheets and be a little more careful with everything we do.
BUT…
We still want to support charities.
This is also why we’ve changed it now so charity pots are one per order. Again, this is just to protect ourselves a little from losses on orders. And to give people a chance to get it as I know people like supporting the charity stuff.
I wish we could do more, but we just can’t go “here’s £675 on the Ukraine Appeal, and £500 on Easter Eggs” etc like we did a few months ago. I have a responsibility to myself, my family, and the families of Jenny and Kath.
Besides, the world is different now and it’s only likely to get worse before it gets better.
Again, I’m not supposed to talk about the cost of living as a business as it might make some of you go “he’s right you know, better not buy anything” and then all of a sudden I have to sell my body on street corners… come to think about it, that sounds like a good… No Ross… don’t even ask Rachel. She’ll only say no 🙄
We’ve also added more “naughty” stuff…
So we’ve added more Naughty Sweet shop boxes as they’re always a fun one. But also Naughty Coffee Shop boxes! Perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to dunk their dick in some tea.
Believe me, people do it.
I don’t.
Mainly because I drink coffee.
Besides, I don’t like milk in my tea.
We also have this:
Which is actually a box I’ve wanted to do for a while. It basically contains shit wax melts like Baby Powder. Or as I’ve renamed it for this box “Big Pile of Shit” because that’s what it is.
You also get edible anuses with this box.
God this newsletter took a turn didn’t it? Jeeeeez.
It started off quite sensible. Like that was some actual proper business stuff in the beginning wasn’t it?
The type of shit you’d get from a legit business. Then it turned into tea dunking cocks and edible arse holes. I think this newsletter sums up Teddy Eva Scents quite well.
Anyway…
We’ve added other bits too, but I’ll leave you to find it if you fancy looking around. Or I’ll cover it on TikTok, Instagram etc.
We’ve had a bit of a set back the past week with staff sickness and then annual leave next week. So I have no idea when we’ll be adding another round of scents. But we have other bits in the pipeline that we’re constantly working on. Stay tuned I guess.
Thank you for reading! Hope all is well and if you ever wanna chat shit because you’re concerned, worried, depressed or bored, then drop us a DM on Instagram and I will eventually ramble at you via voice notes.
Much love,
Ross & Rachel x
