ei42 Newsletter Wednesday 17 June 2009

Sales Down - Membership up up and away!
In line with the general economy of the UK (and the world) we are seeing overall sales at a reduced level. This doesn't surprise me (does it you?) the fact is that most of us are being more cautious with what we spend, when we spend and with who we spend our hard earned money. In many ways there has never been a better time to tell your friends about how Ei42 can help them save money on all of their online purchases, remembering our motto;
"Buy what you want, when you want, from who you want" 
Depite the downturn in sales membership of Ei42 continues to grow at an ever increasing pace and when we all emerge from the reccession I am confident that all of your efforts will be justly rewarded.   
Announcing the launch of the Ei42 Franchise Opportunity.
I am today proud to announce the launch of the Ei42 Franchise opportunity. This will not be something that every member is going to be interested in but there will be those of you who are perhaps from a direct selling or B2B selling environment who are looking for a new challenge and will be excited about this new opportunity from Ei42.
What is the Opportunity?
All Ei42 shops are Free and will remain Free for all Ei42 members but Franchise owners will be licensed to sell corporate branding for Ei42 shops to other businesses.
Ei42 is the fastest growing online shopping network in the UK, launched into the UK on February 1st 2008 and for the USA in February 2009 we are now embarking on an ambitious new plan to become the fastest growing new franchisee in 2009.
It is our intention to have One Hundred Ei42 Franchises operating within one year of our first franchise launch, which is why we are making a sensational opening offer to our existing members before offering the opportunity to the general public and before placing any other national advertising.
The Offer
We have set the ‘launch price’ of an Ei42 franchise at only £5995.00 this price covers everything that you will need to get started with this unique opportunity and includes 2 days of training at our head office in Coventry.
The Offer (50% DISCOUNT)
The first 10 people who accept this unique offer will be considered as ‘Pilot’ franchise operators and will be able to buy their franchise at a huge 50% reduction.
That’s Right! - The first 10 franchise operators will pay ONLY £2997.50
Who is eligible for this offer?
We thought long and hard about this especially given the current difficult times being experienced by many people in both financial and employment areas. We have therefore decided that this offer is available to anyone who is either an existing member of Ei42 or a friend of an existing member. In other words the offer is available to you or anyone that you know. It seems to me that this is a very fair way of awarding the initial 10 pilot franchises at the discounted rate.
When does this offer expire?
The offer expires as soon as we have accepted the first 10 franchise operators.
Further Information
For further information please visit www.Ei42-Franchising.com and submit the Contact Form on that site if you wish to express an interest.
Please Note: Acceptance as an Ei42 Franchise operator is subject to the 7 Steps to becoming an Ei42 franchisee as detailed on www.Ei42-Franchising.com and is not based on first come first served. All prices quoted are subject to VAT at standard rate. 
That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42
Best Regards

ei42 Planned Maintenance Information

Server Upgrade
Due to the huge growth in membership of Ei42 we are faced with the very real prospect that if we do not upgrade our server capacity soon then our service to you will not be able to meet the exceptionally high standards that we set ourselves. We host Ei42 on dedicated servers within the UK but in order to balance the load we are planning a full upgrade this Saturday 13th June. Not only is this an upgrade of server capacity it also involves a physical change of location and as a result there will be some down time which will be kept to a minimum.
The Bottom Line
Our team will start the upgrade this Saturday the 13th of June at 12:01am BST to ensure the minimum disruption to you all.
Please Note
We recommend that you do not send any emails to friends between 6pm Today, Friday 12th June 2009 and 6am Sunday 14th June 2009
Apologies
