Sign up for Christmas In July

Legend says that nearly 127 years ago, Santa had a bunch of toys left over (cause everyone was really bad back in the old days) that were causing a riff between him and Mrs Claus.  Mrs Claus had enough of it and threatened Santa with no cookies for dessert unless he cleaned out the workshop.  With his mind set on snickerdoodles, Santa needed to cook up a plan, quick-like.  That is when he shared his story with Buddy the Elf (his trusted 1/2 human 1/2 elf) who suggested that Santa have a mid year sale to liquidate his stock of toys.  Santa applauded Buddy for his slick idea and even promised Buddy that he would eventually introduce Buddy to his real father in New York, in the future of course.  

Today we call this yearly event the "Christmas in July" sale and right now is the time to get signed up and get ready.  This community run event is a great opportunity to network with your fellow sellers, get involved, and have some fun!  It is also a great way to promote your booth and the cost to participate is free ninety nine (free, no cost, free banners, etc).

Here is just one of many banners that are being created to celebrate this annual event.

Ok, I’ll play!
My items have all been greatly discounted so I won’t offer any coupons – is that an issue?

Sweet! I am sure the CIJ folks will be thrilled to have you! You can find out about coupons and all of the details here: http://www.bonanza.com/forums/12/topics/283393

Mark. Are you sure about that.
It is well known that this was the year that France finished and presented the Statue of Liberty to the US, and that Geronimo surrendered to the US Government. It was also the year of the Monster 7.3 Earthquake in Charleston (Summervile) S.C.
But I cannot find any record of the alleged brutality (I also love Snikerdoodle cookies)heaped upon Santa by his seemingly domineering Mrs.

lol, reksplace, history books are never completely accurate.
As July is one of the slowest retail and online sales months of the year, Christmas in July is a great way to generate sales. Plus it is fun. I looked back at my sales for last July CIJ, I had 23. And I got a lot of my Christmas shopping done too. year. Lots of different events to sign up for.

I would love to sign up.
Since July is Googles’deadline for sorting out the lanket “False” GTIN statements that you have implemented , will bonanza have resolved the software problem that will make our items invisible to web searches ?
William.

Mark, as I’ve mentioned before, I believe the new “Community” page (including scaled down forums) is difficult to find now. If one is offered different options to choose from when hovering over the “Community” heading (top of pages), why would one then also decide to click on the heading word (ie "Community) itself? YOU know where the new community page is because you all created it. Members who have been around for a while eventually find it. But what about newbies? How are they going to find the CIJ thread? What if they don’t read the blog posts? I believe you’re really limiting exposure to this event by making forums so challenging to locate.

Thank you for your feedback. We do plan to take another pass at our community pages and appreciate you taking the time to comment. If you have specific improvements that you would like to see on our existing community pages, please send those to support so we can review.
