New England Alpaca Fiber Pool http://www.neafp.com/ NEAFP-Note March-07

You can finally smell spring time in the air and before you know it, we will be dusting off our shearing gear and anticipating our long awaited cria. We would like to wish everyone a trouble free, thaw out and a healthy cria season.

NEAFP has had a very busy winter; we have launched a brand new website. If you haven’t had a chance yet, swing through and check out the new features. One of the main goals while designing the new site was offer more than just a simple E-commerce place to do business. We want to enrich our community, by sharing day to day info on happenings around the mill, other alpaca industry news and articles, alpaca tips, and also shine a spotlight on some of your alpaca stores. Check out the featured farm section and submit your store’s bio and some photos and we will be sure to post it up with the others.

We are also doing a weekly give away from our mailing list, right now we are featuring a beanie with an “American Alpaca” logo. The winners will be posted in our blog. These items will change from week to week and there is no purchase necessary, we only require you to sign up for our mailing list. If you know an alpaca enthusiast or breeder you may want to spread the word and have them sign up for the opportunity to win. Good Luck to all!

Another new and exciting change that NEAFP is making is to label our socks and offer hang tags for other items as well. This not only gives our products more curb appeal but it also saves our customers time and energy to label these items. If you have your own farm label you are more than welcome to use them, but this is a great alternative for the alpaca farmer that doesn’t have their own. Our goal is to help you sell your products as quickly and easily as possible.

The fiber bank has been a big hit, many of you have already signed up for an account. If you haven’t done so already it might be a good time before the spring rush. Shipping your fiber in once will not only save you money on mailing it will also save you time on waiting for products. It also gives you the ability to check on your account and know how much fiber you have to your credit.

Please feel free to contact us and let us know what you think of all the changes. We appreciate all your feedback and are constantly striving to offer products and services that our customers need.

Thanks for your continued support!
