50 REASONS WHY... & COUNTING

Simply Be More wants to be in YOUR life

1 Because Simply Be More products spark joy and aim to make you feel good!

2 Because 10% of all our sales go to charity. For example, sales of the 'Piano Maestro' mug and card it go to a prize for the young musician who makes the most improvement.

To date Simply Be More has donated to The Dogs Trust, Haven House Children’s Hospice, Eddie Izzard’s Make Humanity Great Again; a run for hope, Brain Tumour Research, The Greyhound Trust, National Brain Appeal, White Lodge, Hertfordshire Hospitals Charity, City of Sanctuary, The Cup of Kindness for the Lady Ratlings, The Bethany Children's Trust and The Royal British Legion

3 Because Simply Be More is an ethically run business. We don't just say this - every item is trackable so you can confirm its provenance.

4 Because we try to cost every single item fairly.

5 Because there are no hidden extras Simply Be More is completely transparent.

6 Because there is a face behind all our images and products.

7 Because our products - well some of them anyway - will challenge your thinking in a constructive way.

8 Because they may even challenge you to think about your thinking!

9 Because when you buy any item it will be gift wrapped with imagination, love and care.

10 Because our products are uniquely designed. You can give them in the safe knowledge that this isn't going to be something which the recipient has already received before.

11 Because every Simply Be More mug aims to encourage you to simply bin the the moment when you drink from it.

12 Because if you have a special request you just have to ask us and, if Simply Be More can, we will try to customise things just for you.

13 Because we care about your satisfaction with our products

14 Because we take care to describe everything on our website clearly and accurately.

15 Because Simply Be More attracts attention! If you are wearing a Simply Be More T-shirt or carrying a Simply Be More tote, you will probably be asked where it came from and what's the story.

16 Because our animal portraits capture the essence as well as the image of the subject. This has been of tremendous comfort to people who have received a commemorative pet portrait.

17 Because if you have something deep in your heart that you know you have to say to someone, but just can’t find the words, a Simply Be More card will - the thought, the hug, the heart-to-heart connection.

18 Because if you join the Simply Be More community you get to be the first to hear about the latest products and get in touch with other like-minded, positive, open people.

19 Because you can become a co-creator. For example, the ‘piano maestro’ range came about when

Simply Be More was approached to do a design, which became a mug and a card, and even led to the Simply Be More Piano Maestro Young Musician of the Year.

20 Because if there is a ‘what’ in your life, let Simply Be More take care of the ‘how’ and the ‘why’.

.

21 Because Simply Be More uses completely recyclable packaging and products.

22 Because Simply Be More will never sell your information on to a third party.

23 Because Simply Be More doesn’t hound you. If you leave things in your basket, you will not get an email a few days later saying ‘did you forget something? Here is a discount voucher.’

24 Because if you sign up to the mailing list or blog you will only receive an email at most, once a month.

25 Because you will never be asked to verify that you are not a robot or identify squares with a fire hydrant, zebra crossing (‘cross walk’) or lamp-post!

26 Because when you make a purchase you will be kept informed of when the item was dispatched to you and sent the unique Royal Mail number of postage. In case of original Pet Portraits, these will be sent by ‘signed for’ Royal Mail.

27 Because I think that if you spend time on the Simply Be More website you will leave calmer. There are no adverts popping up or noisy interruptions to your browsing. You do not even have to sign in. It has been designed with clarity and calm in mind and to be as user friendly as possible.

28 Because for UK customers, postage is included in all sales over £40.

31 Because all first-time purchases come with a special surprise free gift.

32 Because Simply Be More is a British company. Through making a purchase you are also helping to support the British economy.

33 Because you can shop online with complete confidence via the trusted WIX run website. If you are not happy paying for items online, you can pay by cheque

34 Because the ‘Be more amA-Zing card’ tells someone 26 ways in which you think they are amA-Zing…and they may never have considered that they are amA-Zing at all – or realised that you think that they are amA-Zing!

Is the real cost £2.50, or is it actually priceless?

35 Because with some ‘Be More Sunflower’ or ‘Forget Me Not’ cards, you will receive seeds to bring continued joy to the recipient and anyone who sees their garden! As Forget Me Nots are perennials, this is one gift that genuinely does keep giving!

36 Because by purchasing a tote you are not having to buy a plastic bag, thereby protecting the environment.

37 Because when you give a ‘Be More Baby’ card you may be introducing someone to the life changing power of affirmations. We all dwell in possibility, none more so than a baby…

38 Because of the sense of delayed gratification…I still love waiting for the postman to deliver an online purchase. It reminds me of the excitement of Christmas.

39 Because Simply Be More T shirts are modelled by REAL women, women who are beautiful inside.

40 Because if Simply Be More ever partners with, or endorses, another company it is because we believe that company has the same ethos and is in alignment with Simply Be More’s own values.

49 Because you aren’t just a customer to us, you are a member of the Simply Be More family.

50 Because although Simply Be More would love you to purchase an item, after all it is a business, the most important thing to me is that you have spent your time reading this and hopefully taken away something from that.
