ascp and you: member news News for ASCP Members ASCP and Your Holiday Shopping Your clients are probably thinking about their holiday gift giving at this time of year. Make it easy for them to introduce their friends and family to your business with Thegiftcardcafe.com. This service adds a shopping cart link or button to your existing website, so clients can easily buy gift cards and gift certificates for your services online. As an ASCP member, you only pay half price on the set-up fee for the upgraded monthly subscription service, or half price on other advertising solutions if you are already using another gift card service. When it's time to plan your own gift giving, your ASCP membership gives you 10 percent off flowers and other gifts from FTD. You also save on custom-printed cards, envelopes, party invitations, postcards, and other stationery from Vistaprint (choose from hundreds of designs, or upload your own). And if you're travelling for the holidays, you can use your discounts with Alamo Rent A Car, National Car Rental, and any of the 10 hotel chains in the Choice Hotels group. See more details and find out how to take advantage of all these benefits by logging in with your member ID at www.ascpskincare.com. Click on "Exclusive Member Discounts" to get codes and contact details for all the discounts mentioned above, and many more.
