Schedule Updates for the Next 2 Weeks

Max's will be closing at 5:00 on Tuesday, September 30 and we will be closed all day on Thursday, October 9 for Yom Kippur. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Other than that, it's business as usual!

If You've Been Trying to Call Us.....

I just learned that our voice mail system isn't working....eeek! I am so terribly sorry if you have been trying to reach us after hours and have been getting some crazy message about entering a 10-digit code. We are trying to switch from one phone provider to another and well, obviously, you can tell how that's been going! Hopefully, this will be fixed by the end of the day....tomorrow at the latest. In the meantime, if you can't get through to us via the phone, please send us an email at info@stylebymax.com. Thanks for your understanding and, again, my apologies for the hassle and inconvenience.

So Many New Things.....

....to talk about! We have been getting so much new work in lately! I know I shouldn't be rushing the seasons along (given that all of here in Minnesota know what's coming next!), but I have to admit that a lot of our new necklaces are making me a bit anxious to put on a turtleneck sweater! Big, bold and chunky....one of the hot trends for this season, and we've got some great pieces that really capitalize on that. We are adding several new artist pages to our website...they should be live by the end of this week. In the meantime, check out this new necklace from Natasha Wozniak...one of Max's newest jewelry artists!

Want to Party?

Just a quick reminder....it's time for our annual party! But, more important than that is the fact that this is the weekend of the Ananda Khalsa Trunk Show! The trunk show takes place from noon - 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 6 and from noon - 5 p.m. on Sunday. September 7. Party festivities begin at 5 on Saturday and run until 9, but I have it on good authority that there might be some "extra" chocolate scattered about the store before the party "officially" begins! I hope you can join us to see so much more of Ananda's beautiful work like this beautiful necklace.

We're Sleeping In!

Please forgive us, but we're going to be closed on Labor Day, Monday, September 1 to catch up, re-charge and just be lazy! We'll be open again at 10:00 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, September 3, we'll be closing at 4:00 for a store meeting and event. Again, we'll be open at 10:00 on Thursday. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience. Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank You from Max's!

Welcome to Max’s Rewards Program! In appreciation for your on-going support of Max’s, we will recognize your purchases by giving you credit, in the form of points, for each purchase you make. You will receive a $.10 credit for every dollar you spend at Max’s, and you can choose when you would like your accumulated credit applied to your sales invoice. So, once you spend $10, you will have a $1.00 credit in your “Max’s bank”. When you reach $100 in accumulated purchases, you will have $10 in your “bank”, and so on. Then, for example, if you make a $300 purchase and have $25 in your bank, you can choose to spend all $25 at once and reduce your invoice total (before tax) to $275, or you can use any amount less than $25 and save the rest for a future purchase.. Again, you decide when you want to “spend” your points and how many you want to spend at any one time.

We will keep track of the additions and subtractions to your point balance….all we need is your name so that we can maintain the information in our sales system. It’s that easy!

WOW! What a Great Surprise!

Last night at the awards ceremony held during the Buyers Market of American Craft in Philadelphia, Max's was named as one of NICHE magazine's Top Retailers of 2008! What a great surprise and fabulous honor! Quoting directly from the press release, "the annual Top Retailer Awards program recognizes craft retailers who are committed to fair business practices and to growing and strengthening the North American craft community." We were one of 33 retailers and gallery owners from across North America who were recognized by the magazine in various categories. What I think is especially great about this award is that artists nominate the retailers who they think are deserving, and then the nominees are judged by other retailers from across North America. I am so proud that Max's has earned this kind of respect in its short 2-year life! A huge thank you to all of our artists whose creativity is at the core of Max's success story, as you enable us to bring beautiful work to our customers.
