ScrapbookingRoads.com Offers Regional Shop Hops
ScrapbookingRoads.com, a unique travel guide directory book and resource website, now offers event planning services for local scrapbooking retailers interested in participating in regional "scrapbooking shop hops".
A Scrapbook Shop Hop is an organized event, typically lasting a week or weekend, where area stores host a "stop" along a Shop Hop route, typically within a 200-mile radius. Host stores often offer special discounts, goodie bags, demo's and make-and-take's to hop participants.
Scrapbookers interested in participating in a shop hop can pre-purchase a "Passport" at participating stores. A "Passport" is a directory to all participating stores, including special store hours, a local map to each store, and a space for the customer to have their passport stamped when they visit a store.
During the event, scrapbookers visit as many stores along the shop hop route as they can, getting their "Passport" stamped at each location. Qualifying stamps allow "hoppers" to become eligible for prizes and store discounts.
