April Newsletter

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Happy Spring, PJ’s Friends! I truly can not believe that April is already half over! How on earth did that happen? I had the best intentions on getting this newsletter out the first week of the month but, as you can see since it is now the 11th, this did not occur. But, that’s OK! It’s out now and I can’t wait to tell everyone about all the fun and exciting stuff we have going on this month!

Cupcake News
PJ’s Poppers (also known as Mini Cupcakes) are now available for ordering! PJ’s Poppers can be ordered in increments of 12/flavor in our all of our Classic flavors for $6.00/dozen or most of our Signature flavors for $7.00/dozen! Just as with our regular cupcakes, we do ask for at least 2-3 days notice for most orders. More information can be found on our menu page!

We have also received numerous questions regarding selling PJ’s Poppers on a daily basis in store. While we won’t have Poppers available in the cases to mix and match like our regular sized cupcakes, we will have variety 12-packs available for $5.00/dozen. Quantity and flavor variety will vary each day. Ordering in advance is highly recommended if you want to be guaranteed flavors and quantity!

Don’t forget that you can now order our regular cupcakes in minimum orders of 6! Also, Classic combos can be mixed & matched with at least 2/flavor and Signature and Inspirations flavors can be mixed & matched with at least 6/flavor!

Easter specials have been announced and can be found on our holiday specials page!

Flavor of the Day
Is there a particular flavor of ours that you’ve been especially curious about but wasn’t sure if you wanted to order a whole dozen? Well, our Flavor of the Day program is right up your alley! We started this in January and I’m so happy to see that it has really caught on…people love it! If you’re not familiar with the Flavor of the Day, let me tell you about it. Each day we feature one of our 75+ flavors and have them available for purchase in-store! A calendar of the schedule is available on our flavor of the day page and we also have printed copies available in-store.

We also have a new Flavor of the Day Pre-Order Special! If you pre-order a half or full dozen of the flavor of the day, you will be able to purchase it for the in-store price ($5.00/half-dozen & $10.00/dozen)! Depending on the flavor, this is almost a 50% discount! 2-3 days notice is requested and your order needs to be picked up the day of the flavor being featured.

In-Store News & Promotions
If you haven’t been into the store lately, we’ve been making more improvements and we now have a community bulletin board available! If you have something you’d like to hang up, bring it in and we’ll hang it up for you! Right now, we are featuring pictures of our customers’ pets dressed in cupcake gear (sweaters, collars, etc.). If you have a cute or funny picture of your pet like this, stop by and hang it up on the board!

We also have some new in-store daily promotions for the month of April:
Tuesdays – Test Kitchen Tuesday. Each Tuesday, stop in for a new, not on the menu flavor and test it out! We welcome feedback on test flavors!
Wednesday – Free Mini Day. Every Wednesday, we’ll have our mini cupcakes available for free samples!
Thursday – Madison Day. It’s our signature cupcake and it will be available every Thursday!
Friday – Cup O’Brownie Day. A chewy fudge brownie baked in cupcake form. It’s absolutely amazing!
Sunday – Spend $12.00 and get half-dozen (6) cupcakes FREE!

Cupcake News!
As some of you know (and others may not), we tend to take things one step at a time here at PJ’s. Before doing anything new, we make sure everything is just right and that we get the best deal on things. While doing it this way takes time and is hard for people with no patience (like me!), it has one major benefit – it keeps our overhead costs low! And keeping our overhead costs low keeps our prices affordable for you – our customers!

With that being said, after months of planning and developing, PJ’s is extremely excited to announce that we will be carrying cupcakes in both our regular size AND mini size! Mini cupcakes will be available for purchase in store throughout the month as we continue to perfect them! Minis will also be available for advance orders beginning 22nd. Be on the lookout for pricing and ordering information!

In other cupcake news, effective Tuesday, March 8th, we are lowering our minimum order for our Signature, Creations and Inspiration cupcakes to 6 per flavor!
