Why do you go to your favorite scrapbook store? Is it because they have the biggest paper collection? Or the more helpful, knowledgable employees?
What is it that you like best about your favorite scrapbook stores?
Thanks!
Well I would have to say that the best thing about my local scrapbook store is the wonderful, knowledgeable employees! They are so wonderful. If there is a new technique or product, they take the time to show me how to do it. If I have a page that is not quite working right, I can take it in and they make helpful suggestions. They have helped me with ideas for gift scrapbooks.
My local store also offers great classes using all the hottest items. The will also let customers book the "scrap room" for free in order to have little crop sessions with friends. That is always fun and give us a chance to spread out our work more than we could at home. This store has cards for frequent shoppers. One is, take ten classes, get one class free. Another is a 10% discount with an extra 5-10% off on select products each month.
Of course, product quality and selection is always a must. With out that, no one would purchase much. And a good clearance or sale section is a bonus (it’s my first stop every time I go into my local store)!
Hope that helps!

Pat Catan’s is my favorite craft store. Michaels is good too. Archivers is a relativevly new one out there. The variety of stuff and how they have stuff grouped together is what I like. I like little sales bins or clearance bins the most. It helps when the staff is knowledgable about the products in their stores. Sometimes there are free ideas hanging up.

My favorite has everything seperated into themes. One section has all sports stuff, one has all Christmas stuff, etc.. It makes it so much easier to find the things you are looking for, and to be able to see all the have in that theme.
However, I do most of my shopping online as this store is 1 1/2 hours away from me.
