Whether you're an old fan or a new fan, if you've heard of Mommy Necklaces than you have undoubtedly had a moment where you've thought, "Wow, that mom really needs a Mommy Necklace!" One thing we know about our fans, they are just as passionate about our necklaces as we are.
When you're part of the Mommy Necklaces team, you have to hold yourself back daily. What can we say, we're passionate about what we do. There are so many moments that urge even me to just want to reach into my purse and pull out a Mommy Necklace for a fellow mom. "Here take it! I can't watch one more minute of your baby yanking your hair!" or "That is THE PERFECT outfit for the Dream Collection - AGH! Take it! Dazzle yourself a little mama! You deserve a little flair to that jeans and t-shirt combo!" The impulse is always there and I try to tell myself "Stare straight ahead. Don't look over there. Don't observe that nursing mom with an extreme twiddler. Just do what you came to do and do not reach into your purse for extra beads."
Whether it be while shopping, a playgroup/mommy-event, or even the library - I get the urge to pull out the beads and 'bust' a mom before she is 'busted'. The yanking at her fragile jewels, the pinching around her neck, and the hair, oh, the poor hair...
If you find yourself wanting to 'bust' a mom before she is 'busted' (meaning literally - before her necklace breaks or figuratively - before her body is further experimented upon by tiny hands) then you are the perfect recruit for Operation Busted.
What are you talking about?!
Maybe you all are really crazy bead ladies...
Operation Busted is the name given to our Rewards Program at Mommy Necklaces. Referred to as 'Operation Busted' because we are a team of moms spreading the word about Mommy Necklaces. Our Mission: To 'bust' moms in the act of being 'busted'. With each 'bust' you spread the word about Mommy Necklaces, earn rewards' points, and also give the 'busted mommy' a discount to order her first necklace - something for everyone to be excited about!
NOTE: You do not have to be part of OB to earn rewards. You can earn rewards just by purchasing (1 pt. for every $ you spend), participating on Facebook, and whatever other fun ways we come up with. Operation Busted is a supplemental way to get extra reward pts! To earn rewards, you just need to register an account.
"I'm on it! I'll stalk down the first mom I see!"
I'll become just as crazy as you are...
We don't want you to crazily attack every mom you see and dangle beads in front of her in an annoyingly-pushy-sorta-way. However, we do want to reward you for what most of our fans already do and that is to reward you for spreading the word about Mommy Necklaces to moms (or any lovely lady - non-moms too!) that you think might benefit from a Mommy Necklace (in a non-annoyingly-pushy-sorta-I'm-totally-crazy-way).
"Hmmmmm...."
Good point. Less crazy, more tactical.
We all have our days. Don't 'bust' a sleep deprived, grocery shopping with 5 screaming kids, still in my pajama bottoms, and no shower in 3 days mom. Like with any mission, you have to use a tactical approach and know when and how to approach the situation to be successful.
1. Size Up the Situation
Eek, that necklace of hers (while pretty) isn't going to survive one more yank.
or
Dang, I love that outfit and I just know it would look great with "Glam"!
2. Offer Empathy or Style Suggestion
My little guy use to make me so nervous to wear jewelry when he'd do that me.
or
I am lovin' your shirt! I've seen the perfect necklace match for it - designed for a mom too!
3. Prepare to Bust
I've got to tell you about Mommy Necklaces. They are designed to be extra durable and cute. I'm actually part of "Operation Busted" and I'd love to 'bust you' with a coupon for a Mommy Necklace!
4. Simple Details
Visit the website to learn more and if you decide to order, there is a coupon code for your first order. It is good for 6 months, so you can even save it for a 'special occasion' purchase, if you'd like!
The mission is easy. But impossible to do without YOUR help.
We need YOU to help spread the word and we'll reward you it.
Talk to me. I'm listening...
and there better be benefits!
For us, the benefit is the most amazing benefit of all. A referral from a fellow mom. Nothing means more to us than good 'word of mouth' marketing. And a new customer.
For you, the reward is points. Here is how it works:
When you sign-up for Operation Busted, you will start collecting points in three ways.
1. By Purchasing Mommy Necklaces Yourself
2. By Sharing the Product Packaging You Get with Your Orders
3. By Giving Out "Busted Tickets" Which You Can Print Off at Home
1. By Purchasing Mommy Necklaces Yourself:
You are rewarded 1-PT. for every dollar you spend at mommynecklaces.com. If you purchase from a retailer, we will also give you points but you must contact us for additional 'claim' information, it will require a receipt of purchase from the store. If you purchase from our website, the points are automatically added to your account. Log-in to your account to view them.
2. By Sharing the Product Packaging You Get with Your Orders
After you've made a purchase, you can 'claim' your packaging and turn it into an "Operation Busted Ticket". The process is very simple. Just email orders@mommynecklaces.com or contact us through our website. Simply write "Claiming Order #AB-insertyourorder#here for OB". We will notify you that it has been activated and remind you of the next steps.
Now that you've claimed your packaging and want to 'bust' someone with it, you've activated your order number as a coupon code. Take a sharpie, write "AB-2659" on your packaging and "good through (6 months from date)" and go find a mom to bust! This is a 'green' way for us to spread the word and this mom that is busted, can actually claim this packaging and use it AGAIN, if she decides to join Operation Busted. When she orders, she'll be told more information about Operation Busted and how to claim the packaging herself.
3. By Giving Out "Busted Tickets", Which You Can Print Off at Home
While we'd love to keep passing our packaging around (beats a landfill!), we also realize that you're probably going to want to 'bust' more than you buy. So that is why we have created a handy-dandy .pdf file for you to print at home. Print off the file below and write in your Operation Busted Username.
* EMAIL ORDERS@MOMMYNECKLACES.COM FOR YOUR PRINTABLE TICKETS! *
Ummm, wait. Operation Busted Username?
It better be sexy.
Yes! A Username. To activate yourself as part of the 'troop' we need you to first register an account here on the Mommy Necklaces website. This will keep track of your reward points and also will register your Operation Busted Username.
Ok, registered.
Now what about that sexy name...
Contact Us via our Website or Email Us (orders@mommynecklaces.com) and send us a statement similiar to: "I'd like to join Operation Busted. I'd like the username (MNGodess)." Make your username something you'll easily remember (but maybe not too sexy since you are giving this to strangers...hehe).
Next?
I don't have all day.
On that .pdf file, write your username. It is now a COUPON CODE! When a new unregistered customer uses it, you get reward points. They get 10% off!
Aunt Lisa, My Sister Jane, and Cousin Laura....I'll get them all to buy!
Ummm, not so fast. We want you to spread the word to NEW people. NEW faces. Your coupons can't be used by existing accounts or from previous customers. New customers only and let's keep it honest so that we can all enjoy the fun and rewards of Operation Busted.
Oh... my... goodness.
My head is spinning.
It really is simple!
1. Operation Busted is a Rewards Program.
2. You can earn pts 3 Ways: A. Purchase B. Claim Your Packaging C. Print Tickets
Oh, I get it (I think!)...
But what exactly did you say the benefits are?
When ordering off the website, the points you earn are equivalent to
BUY 5 (FULL PRICE), GET 1 FREE.
When using your product packaging, YOU get 15 REWARD PTS. if the person you bust uses your order number as a coupon code. The person you bust gets 15% off their first order!
When using your printable username tickets, YOU get 5 REWARD PTS. if the person you bust uses your username as a coupon code. The person you bust gets 10% off their first order!
I'm an Operation Busted FREAK!
Look at my points, what can I redeem?!?!

Even if you choose not to join Operation Busted, every purchase you make will earn you points. By joining Operation Busted, you only grow your points quicker. Plus, it helps use reuse our packaging in a fun, creative way that benefits both the environment and our pocket books.
Wahoo!
I'm cashing in for that $50.00 Gift Card.
To redeem your points, just log-in to your account. Next to your reward points, you will see a link that says "redeem". Tada! Magic. Free necklaces for you!
I have severe Mommy-Brain,
can we summarize everything one more time?
Of course! Operation Busted is a Rewards Program that allows you to earn points by spreading the word about Mommy Necklaces. Even if you don't 'bust' anyone, you earn points just by purchasing Mommy Necklaces. If you choose to 'bust' a fellow mom before she is 'busted' herself (broken jewelry, clawing hands), both you and her are rewarded. You receive points when she uses your coupon code. She receives a discount on her first order. Points are added to your account and you may log-in to view and redeem them.
Have you forgotten to tell me anything?
I really have to get going.
Probably and I'm sure this whole page is full of typos. We also have severe Mommy-Brain from time-to-time. If you have questions, just contact us.
Are you SURE you haven't forgotten anything.
Well, we love you. Our fans are #1. .... Oh, wait. Did we forgot to mention that we'll be giving away an entire collection of Mommy Necklaces every 6 months? Every 10 PTS. you earn is an entry into the drawing!!! You're automatically entered an additional entry every time you earn 10 more PTS. Geesh, how could we forget to mention that itty bitty detail... Winner will receive a necklace from every collection FREE. The first drawing will be held in late summer (TBA August), so get started NOW!
So what are you waiting for? Have your packaging - claim it! Want to print out tickets - register an account (if you haven't already) and email us your preferred username! Don't want to do either? Then just make a purchase and points are automatically dumped into your account.
AND if you want chances to earn extra PTS while staying up-to-date with all the latest Operation Busted news, we strongly suggest you join us on Facebook. ;)
You have your orders ladies. Let's make it happen!
FINE PRINT! You may not claim purchases from 'half off' sites for points. You may only claim points when you've paid full price either from an online retailer or brick and mortar store. However, you may claim any packaging, regardless of how much you paid or where you purchased it, just contact us and we'll set you with a code for that packaging.
MORE FINE PRINT! Absolutely, under no circumstances, can you claim purchases prior to Friday, February 5th, 2010 for points. There is NO WAY we can do this. BUT if you have packaging from a purchase AFTER January 1, 2010, you may redeem it for Operation Busted.
MORE FINE FINE PRINT! Pts. are only redeemed for FULL PRICE purchases or SPECIAL PURCHASES that we may run. If you use an "Operation Busted" COUPON CODE (for example, if you are the one busted; a new customer), you DO NOT initially get pts. for your first purchase. Using a COUPON voids POINT REDEMPTION. However, new customers will need to earn points by purchasing, using their packaging, or the Operation Busted "tickets" themselves. AND, if a new customer returns and signs up for Operation Busted themselves - we will credit the points from their first purchase to their account.
THE LAST FINE PRINT! Let's keep it honest. Facebook fans - you already know about Mommy Necklaces! Please do not going around 'using' each others usernames for points. Remember, this offer is only open to NEW customers and they can claim the discount if YOU actually referred them here. Please do not go around asking for "coupons" on Facebook. All posts mentioning or asking for coupons, will be deleted. We want to make Operation Busted work and to do so, we can't take advantage of the 'system' and how it works. |
