Small Business Saturday Gave Us More Than We Bargained For!

Small Business Saturday Gave Us More Than We Bargained For!  The economy is broken! We have many many things to fix, where do we start?  The holidays are coming fast and if you are fortunate to still be living in a home with a roof over your head you are one of the Lucky ones!
Tonight on the news, CBS Nightly News to be exact we watched a clip of a little girl standing side by side to her brother. They live in Florida in their car with their Father. She was asked what her feelings were about the situation? She answered that’s life isn’t it? I found myself thinking to myself, are these her actual feelings, or were they mimic-ed from someone like her Dad? She continued to speak about her and her families feelings, apparently her Mother died some years ago and they lost their house last year when the Construction worked dropped with no work available!
Apparently she and her brother also attend School with many other kids in the same situation. At the end of the interview She was asked if she could say anything what would she say? “When I see other kids my age I wonder if they are like myself and my family or are they different and more fortunate. If I hear the kids giving their Parents a bad time, yelling, wanting things in the Store or just being nasty it hurts me and I am saddened! I think to myself, Oh they need to be thankful for the family, house, life and what they have. Live as if this is your last day, because tomorrow you could wake up and be in the same position as myself and my family are today”! Those words and pictures have been burnt into my head and I have NOT been able to get that little girls face out of my head. We today are worried about the economy and what the Holidays are going to bring into the retail end of the business. I wanted to get in my car, travel across the United States and find this girl and her family and bring them home with me!  We need to get a care package together and set it up so she and her family receive it before Christmas!

As a business owner these are very uncertain times to no avail! If we do not pitch in to help each other, our Society, this Country the United States is desperately in trouble! Then I also walk away from the situation thinking, I was so worried all day if I had gotten all the marketing done that I needed to do for the store, then it did not seem as important as it did earlier in the day!

Holidays are Here…Remember the Less Fortunate!

Holidays are Here…Remember the Less Fortunate!  Pay It Forward…We at AddALinkOfCharm are in a position to continue this program because of our wonderful customer pool!  In 2005 We had a customer at Christmas order 3 medical alert bracelets.  They asked us to send them two and  they asked us to donate the other.  “Can you find someone that really needs a medical alert bracelet who just cannot afford one?” Myself and our staff  just did not know what to do with this wonderful contribution at First!   Just how do we pick the deserving individual, how can we ask the right questions without being over bearing as well as the privacy acts had been in full motion and just really getting these regulations and laws were just getting going!  Remember this was 6 years ago now!

Well this is where it all started. We are proud to announce that this coming year 2012 will be the 6th year we now have done this program!  The staff and myself came up with an with an additional incentive to obtain supporters this coming year!  We are going to introduce a plan to do like a punch card system.  As folks donate they can choose to receive a special gift to give to that months lucky recipient of an Medical Alert Bracelet!   There is going to be a 3 level punch card system.  In turn we at AddALinkofCharm will continue to match the donations 100%.  We are hoping that this will enable us to increase the number of bracelets that we have been giving away each and every month to 5 instead of 4.

Italian Charms we’ve found make the best Medical Alert Bracelet around.  The main reason why we are saying this is mainly because of the children. With peer groups, bully’s and society as a whole…most certainly just tough for being a kid today.  Well let me date myself, even the 50′s times were a bit easier but bully’s were still alive and present.

Picture yourself a child today and you HAVE to wear a medical alert bracelet.  Ask your self if you were a kid in today’s world which would you  likely  prefer an sterile drug store type or one which not only has the medical alert charms on it but say the Disney’s Princesses, Superman, Sponge Bob or whatever your imagination can come up with.  Our biggest compliment from Parents have been: “Oh My God, he is actually wearing his bracelet.  You do not know how many 100′s of dollars we have spent on these bracelets not just to discover he has NOT been wearing it or….He has lost his bracelet.  Do you remember these comments whenever you were younger?

So I am sure you can actually really begin to relate to why we say:

  • Italian Charms we have found make the greatest Medical Alert Bracelet around.
  • The reason why we say this is mainly due to children.
  • They do not have to have a new one because they have grown, with Italian charms you can add a couple of charms to increase the size.
  • Also say you have a youngster that when younger they loved sponge bob, but now, as they have gotten older  sponge-bob is a bit juvenile to say the least.
  • With Italian charm bracelets you can re-size them or change the charms in a heartbeat without a huge cost or problem.
  • The Pro-Charms Bracelets also make great medical alert bracelets, especially for those older kids who are in High School or College.
  • These are just a few ideas of the potentials, and possibilities why Italian charms are so perfect for medical alert bracelets!

Holidays are Here…Remember the Less Fortunate!   Yes the Holidays are here but we hope that folks remember the less fortunate year around!  The sign of the times is devastation and despair.  Something as small as a Italian Charm can and has been proven to “SAVE LIVES”.  They have and continue to help folks lead a more productive life.   When folks who have Medical Issues have a Medical Alert Bracelet   they tend to step out into Society more.   When you have medical issues you become “afraid to stick your toe out”.   Being out at the store, Church, dinner at a restaurant all are getting you enjoying life.  Having a medical alert bracelet helps you feel that if something happens that folks will be able to help if they are needed for any reason!  So if something happens, Medical EMT personal, or anyone that happens to be near, will have a great chance to success to know how to help because they have a medical alert bracelet.   Medical alert bracelets help to save lives by saving seconds-minutes in a rescue because the information was known!

 

We are always looking for sponsors’ and folks who need a medical alert bracelet but cannot afford one.  Help us by helping others…Thank you

Italian Charms are For Any One On Any Budget!

 

The quality is just awesome!

Italian Charms make great gifts on any budget!  There is a charm for that..There are 100s of themes to fit many different aspects of lives and memories.  It is this point that helps to make these awesome for gifts for any occasion any budget!  The trend began in the mid 1980s in Italy. The Soccer Players of Italy requested a style of bracelet for their team that they could wear at the Soccer Finals that represented them as a team differently from any other at the time. The craze spread so fast that soccer players have been known to wear bracelets that reflected their country’s colors. The trend spread to the United States after American tourists became enamored with the style.

An Italian charm starter bracelet from our store consists of 18 blank individual rectangular links. Standardized sizing allows for each piece to be interchangeable with any Italian charm. Unlike traditional charm bracelets that dangle off a chain, the Italian charm bracelet allows for a complete look that can be changed depending on the wearer’s mood and/or changing interests.    A traditional link of an Italian charm bracelet consists of a rectangular piece of stainless steel on which the design is soldered or etched onto the surface.

Recently, Italian charm makers have begun making full color charms using an enamel process. This process is very expensive though so it is reserved for charms that will sell in large quantities. However, many charm wearers wish to have specific charms made that express the uniqueness of the individual wearing the bracelet. Therefore, as the popularity of Italian charms has increased, manufacturers of the charms have had to find quicker and less expensive means of creating charms.  In the result of this, the charms were mass produced to accommodate the demand.  Because of this the charms were glued not soldered, thin chip, not 100% stainless steel resulting in a less expensive product which was sold at Flea Markets, Retail Budget Stores and Small Mom & Pop stores Just to name a few.
The higher quality charms took a slump in the demand until consumers realized that these (99 cent ones) did not hold up to any time or wear until now.  Consumers like your self have realized that you get what you pay for and the quality of the Italian Charms had taken a huge dive.  Now that the popularity has lessened and you cannot find the charms just anywhere the quality and uniqueness that made these charms s very unique are coming back.  The quality of the Italian Charm with the thick chip, 18kt gold overlay, UV protection are the prime standard consideration of an educated fancier of Today’s Italian Charms.

Charms are very special and different in that they can reflect any part of your individual personality. Individuals can choose from the most general charms which represent their hobbies, interests or even what career they are in.  Italian Charm Bracelets are unique upon themselves for each link can be replaced as often as changing colors and wardrobes, from Spring, Summer to Fall & Winter as a person’s interests change. Each bracelet can be created through any theme that the individual can imagine. Common themes include memories of a vacation &/or trip, the birth of a newborn &/or graduation…etc.    You will find that for 20-30 dollars you will be able to find a Starter Bracelet and 3-4 really nice, high quality charms for your office parties, secret Santa, circle of friends who you like to share something with without strapping an already taxed budget.  These are thoughtful little pieces of style and packed full of memories.  We at Add A Link Of Charm refer to these bracelets a Memory Bracelets or Friend Ship Bracelets. Stop by at http://www.addalinkofcharm.com to see over 4,000 different designs of High quality, unique designs that you just will NOT find anywhere else.

We offer a Fine, Large Selection of Italian Charms that are discounted, NOT cheap in quality to create an awesome “Charmed” Italian Charm Bracelet, what we call a Wonderful Memory Italian Charm Bracelet!  Inexpensive Italian Charms do not have to be cheap italian charms.

Some customers have actually come up with the idea of using the 9-13 combo to accomplish this wish.  The 13mm is true to square in dimension so a picture fits more uniformly to the surface of the charm.  Then on the two 9mm’s on each side of the 13 mm they will have their name placed on one side and the coin phrase of that person on the other.  Very sharp and extremely heart filled!

Italian Charms are great fun with mass potential to have designs, phrases or?  Make a bracelet very special and over time it will become more and more cherished.
