Hello All,

It's been a while since our last post and this is a brief update to let you know that House of Elliot will be transitioning to a brand new website in early October. Please don't worry we will still be keeping the same website address and contact details.

We feel that we need a fresh new look and an improved user experience for House of Elliot's future but our beautiful boots will stay the same! Our colored boots (black and red) will be featured on our new website but if you would like to purchase a pair in the meantime please contact us at sales@houseofelliotcollection.com

We are very excited about what the future has in store for House of Elliot and we will keep you posted on our social media sites as to launch dates and progress.

In the meantime a very warm thank you to all our past and future brides for your continued support and enthusiasm for House of Elliot.

Warmest Wishes from us here.

The Boot Lover Team xx

House of Elliot Payment Plan

Payment Plan

We understand that the cost of a wedding can be through the roof - we also understand the frustration in having to sometimes compromise with the wedding footwear. So we think we have the ideal plan for you! 
Setting up a payment plan is in response to our very own House of Elliot brides. Here is the Maths - 

Jenny has fallen in love with our 'Evangeline Elliot' knee length lace wedding boot costing £180.00 with keepsake box + £10.00 Shipping to the UK

Jenny pays a 20% deposit + £10.00 Shipping costs = £46.00 immediately
This leaves a balance of £144.00

Jenny's wedding day is in five months time, we want Jenny to have her wedding boots 4 x weeks before the due date, for peace of mind and final dress fitting, so we would divide the balance of £144.00 into four monthly payments through PayPal Invoices

If Jenny changes her mind, cant afford to continue with the monthly payments, we will give her a full refund - minus the Deposit

  No 'Late payment fee'

We understand that this is a trusted arrangement so we need to be transparent with you by letting you know that if you raised a claim against House of Elliot for any reason, PayPal could only cover you for one of your monthly payments, not all four payments.

If this is something that could be of use to you, then drop us an email sales@houseofelliotcollection.com

Wedding Wishes and Love

House of Elliot Affiliate Programme

Building your very own Boot Box Empire with our Affiliate Programme

Basically, our Affiliation Programme is a great opportunity to earn some extra cash without any financial outlay or purchasing any stock. You have seen the response yourself on our FB Page, folk love our products and share all the time, so its time to 'reward' those that do  - people like you!

House of Elliot essentially allows you to generate an income from every pair of Wedding Boots or shoes sold. Customers that go through you to purchase from House of Elliot Website will net a 10% commission from the Purchase Total

Example

1 x Pair of Evangeline Elliot Lace Wedding Boot sold for £180.00 = £18.00 commission paid to you through PayPal

You dont have to work very hard to achieve this, and commission payments in the past have come from just 'one post' on Facebook. Facebook has proven to be very successful for our products and we would like you to share in that same success. You may even want to create your own House of Elliot Facebook Page, we will hand hold you through the process and you will never run out of things to post, wonderful testimonies from brides all over the world and some great images to build your little Boot Box Empire

How does it work?

Our web developers have introduced a 'drop down' menu of referrals - so, when a customer places her order through our website, it is mandatory that she chooses her referral. That referral could be you!
To get maximum impact on the time you spend advertising the products - you need to include;

Example

1. Name of the design
2. A small description (taken from website)
3. Web address. www.houseofelliotcollection.com

4. Picture

All Affiliates are welcome to copy posts from our House of Elliot FB Page and content from our website, its all there to share! You can make your little Boot Box Empire as small or as Big as you want, there will be no pressure from us to hit Targets, just bags of encouragement and new images and testimonies from our lovely brides from around the world that come in to us every day

Hi Kim,

I've received the Beatrice Elliot boots today and they are gorgeous!!! I was a little bit scared I'd be disappointed after wishing for them for so long but I wasn't. They are absolutely stunning!

The size 7's are slightly roomy but nothing major so I'm going to keep these please :)

They're quite literally, going to make my big day :)

Many thanks for your very helpful support in getting me the right pair.

Best wishes,
Ruth

You may even have some suggestions of your own that you want to share to improve our working methods, we are hear to listen to any ideas you may have. Yes! really we are!

We are already working with Affiliates from the UK and as far as Tasmania and Florida, Why not join in the fun!

P.s Oh! did we mention that we send £10.00 through PayPal as a Thankyou for a friend referral. This could be a friend or a family member located in a different country even. This will be paid out once they join

Looking forward to hearing from you very soon

Kim & Elliot

Photo Shoot at Avington Park Winchester

Well...... the photo shoot was a great success with glorious gowns in Silk and Victorian Antique Lace, kindly  donated by Ian Stuart bridal  http://www.ianstuart-bride.com/   and  Antique Lace Heirlooms http://www.antiquelaceheirlooms.com/slideshow-Home-page.html

Elliot & I arrived at the location at 8am and we were greeted by our first star - Gemma Sutton our Hair & Make up Magician http://gemmasutton.com/. who is clearly very talented, reliable and committed to the job in hand. You could trust Gemma to come up with something beautiful  and she did

Wayne Khann Photographer http://waynekahnphotography.co.uk/was in a league all of his own, relaxed, quirky and loves a laugh, so we did! 
We really enjoyed working with Wayne and he worked extremely hard the whole time we were there until 1.30pm - never took a break - thankyou Wayne, we are most grateful. Yes we would work with Wayne again - for sure

Our gorgeous patient models for the day were Klara and Amelia, such a joy to work with, always smiling and gave their best to the shoot

But the Star that shined the brightest on the day was my son Elliot - wherever you looked, Elliot was on the case from; propping, furniture removal, runner, photographer, driver, and a very calm influence to all concerned on a very hectic day - Thankyou Elliot

A sneaky preview behind the Scenes......

'Grab a Coffee....it will all become crystal clear for 2014'

Lovely to meet you!

We are embracing 2014 as our year for change

'Evie Elliot' was a new addition to the House of Elliot collection April 2013. A soft hand made lace wedding pump with leather insoles has been a real winner, especially for tall brides.

 After a great response from a survey we carried out in the UK, Cyprus and America, we have decided to launch our collection in 'Wedding White' in designs; 'Goodnight Sweetheart'  'Beatrice Elliot'  'Evangeline Elliot'  and 'Lotti Elliot'

We are super excited about our photo shoot with Wayne Kahn which is taking place at Avington Park, Winchester early part of 2014. New images are very much needed and an opportunity to show case our 'Wedding White' Lace boots and Wedding Pump.

Let us know your news and what style wedding you are planning, it would be lovely to hear from you!

House of Elliot become very good friends with Australia

We are absolutely thrilled to be receiving such an overwhelming response to our Vintage Lace Wedding boots which seem to be the favourite with the Australian Brides.

OUR FIRST EUROPEAN SALES AGENT

House of Elliot are in deep discussion woth a Dutch Wedding Vendor who is keen to become the 'sole' agent for House of Elliot in the Netherlands. This is new territory for us so we would love to hear from other folk who are firmly established in that field. September is proving to be nearly as good as August and most of our delivery that is due the 25th September has been sold in sizes 4 & 5.

We are very pleased the way the business model is going in its diversity with Stockists, drop shippers and direct sales.

We would really like to attend the Harrogate Bridal Fair Next year and introduce our gorgeous lace footwear to the Wedding Shops.

Sales this month have gone to Sweden, Liverpool, Holland, Australia and the USA - Thankyou!

We are also negotiating another photo shoot with a lovely photographer from Vancouver - Canada. We are just focussing on our black lace boots.

August proved to be the best month so far this year. Our figures show that we are 18% up in the first five months of the Tax year than we are on the WHOLE of last year, so we are very encouraged by this news and were in a position to give hundreds of pounds away to our minsitires and organsiations; XP Media (abolition of the sex trade in Children and Women) Feed the Hungry, Mercy Ministries (dedicated to providing a six-month, free-of-charge residential programme for young women, ages 18-28, suffering from life-controlling issues such as eating disorders, self harm, depression, and the effects of abuse in all its forms, Reformed (ending violence in women) Bible Society (providing Bibles in China) and the list goes on....

So thankyou!!  your pound, Dollar, Kroner, Australian Dollar has gone a looong way towards a pair of boots!

We are often complimented on our beautiful hand made Keepsake box which comes with every pair of boots and shoes, so we thought we would shout about it as we feel they can be slightly overlooked,  Here is a recent testimony from a UK Bride;

"
Dear Kim,

They have arrived safely. The box was so beautiful I was reluctant to open it and spoil the bow! The shoes are gorgeous and I have tried them on and they fit perfectly. I am really delighted with them and I think they will look fabulous with my wedding dress. I really want to "like" your facebook group, but I am determined to keep the boots an absolute secret until after the wedding. After which I will tell everyone!!"

 

You see! We at House of Elliot have thought about everything, even after your wedding when your gorgeous boots are packed away!

Each pair of wedding boots is meticulously wrapped in acid free tissue paper and then placed in its box, so when you open the box, the first thing you see is the colour and detail of your beautiful wedding footwear.
The beautifully romantic handmade box is tied together with a double sided satin ribbon in ivory to match your footwear. Handmade in Great Britain, the boxes are made from a breathable material with a fitted lid, sturdy enough to eliminate light and protection from dust and accidents, making it the perfect keepsake box.

Have a Great September!

Coffee and a catchup - How are you?

Always something exciting to share at House of Elliot.

We welcome our first European Drop Shipper from the Netherlands - we pray that God blesses all who shop with her.

The Scottish Photo Shoot didnt prove to be a great success, so we are concentrating our enegies with what we know to do best  -Ivory Lace.www.houseofelliotcollection.com

We have some strong interest from a lovely lady in Texas, who is keen to carry both lines (Ivory & black lace) She is very passionate about the whole concept. House of Elliot can always work with 'passion'

It is our aim to be a Global brand

facebook Demographics tell us that our highest percentage of interest comes from the age group 35 - 44

We have had a fantastic response to our revised prices, August went through the roof, simply thrilled so thankyou to all those brides who chose House of Elliot for their special day!

In our first 21 weeks of this years trading, House of Elliot has already exceeded last years total yearly figure. We are pleased with this result and it comes from alot of hard work!

We give thanks to God for his wisdom. The Bible says that Nothing compares to her and her paths are peace
