MARTHA COUGHLIN!

Congratulations Martha! We are thrilled to have you as a New Runner with RunMyErrand and we hope you enjoy your night out at Chez Henri. (side note: Restaurant Week is coming up soon. Might I suggest going to Chez Henri during that time?)

The Runner Rally last night was SO fun! We had 50 attendees and got new Runners signed up and got to hang out and eat cupcakes with our Varsity Runners. We even got to hang out with our Chief Inspiration Officer, Kobe!

We also got loads of great ideas and suggestions from our Brainstorm Board. Thanks to everyone who added to the board. We will be hard at work today getting all of your suggestions and ideas up and running.

Thanks to everyone who turned out and if you didn’t make it to our First Runner Rally, no worries! We will be hosting these monthly! So keep an eye out for our next Runner Rally Evite!

Swag Bags are Fun!

Reow reow reow reow WOO! (for the Wayne’s World fans out there.)

Today is the day of our AWESOME RUNNER RALLY which will be held at our office at 2 Canal Park right next to the Cambridgeside Galleria (5th floor). The party will be from 5:30-7:30pm today and yes, there will be cupcakes and beer! Huzzah!

We will be entertaining both our new Runner applicants and our established Runners. This is a great chance for new Runners to get set up and to get outfitted with some awesome RME swag and for our established Runners to share their ideas and feedback on RME with the RME Team.

EVERYONE gets a Swag Bag and EVERYONE gets entered into our sweet Raffle! Come one and all and boogie down with the RME Team!

We’d like to thank our sponsors – Cakeology Cupcakes and Liquor World – for supplying the yummy nom noms for tonight’s party.

We look forward to seeing you tonight!

*For those attending, just go to the front desk at 2 Canal Park and ask them to point you in the direction of the RunMyErrand Party. Once you get to the 5th floor, just follow the signs to the party!

**We are located just a few feet from the Lechmere T Stop.

Did you know that each week RunMyErrand chooses one random lucky winner to receive a prize from one of our top affiliates? It’s true!

Each week we choose either a random Sender or a random Runner to receive a super cool prize as a thanks for working with RunMyErrand!

This weeks winner is Tara Feld, a Sender who hired a Runner to help her sell her wedding dress. Tara won a box of

Winter Truffles from Hotel Chocolat Fine Chocolates.

Tara will have these chocolates delivered right to her doorstep by a Runner this week. Yum!

Everyone likes a little sunshine in their day. Will you be next weeks random lucky winner? If you have posted an errand or run an errand in the past week, you are eligible. It’s as easy as that. And you like prizes, doncha? Sure ya do.

Dog Food Delivery From RunMyErrand!

RME is very excited to announce that we will now be offering a Pet Food Delivery Program through Polka Dog Bakery (located in Jamaica Plain and in the South End.) Now you can have your pet food delivered directly to your door at regular weekly or monthly intervals for just $10!

So say your household pets are the following:

Fifi Von Fluffystuff (cat)

Genevive (Yellow Lab)

and Cuchi-Cuchi (mini Dachshund.)

Let’s say that you are a busy individual who is far too busy playing with said pets and watching the Puppy Bowl to leave the house to take the T across town, in the snow, uphill BOTH WAYS, to pick up nom-noms and LARGE bags of food for said pets. Having to do all of this every 2 weeks is, as the French say, LAME.

Let us do the heavy lifting! Simply fill out an order slip (available at Polka Dog Locations, stop in or call). Fill in the types of dog food Genevive likes, the exact cat food and cat litter Fifi loves and the little extras that Cuchi-Cuchi enjoys (chewie nom-noms). Then tell us how often you want this delivered and POOF! An RME Runner will deliver everything right to your door every week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks or 6 weeks, depending on how much Cuchi-Cuchi eats.

Your credit card is kept on file and delivery is only $10. Orders over $75 get 10% off of their entire order.

Polka Dog Bakery offers loads of brands of dog and cat food, such as Solid Gold, Nutro and Wellness, as well as cat litter, dog treats and waste bags. Don’t miss out on time that could better be spent at the puppy park. We’ll handle this chore for you.

Raise your paw if you like this idea!

Amanda Connor

I’d like to properly introduce myself. My name is Amanda Connor and I’m very excited to join the RunMyErrand Team. I’ll be working as the new Community Manager for RME. What is a Community Manager? Well, in short I am the complaint department, community ambassador, event planner and social media manager all in one.

Who is that woman behind the Twitter curtain? That’s me! Who coordinates promotional events? Me! Who can you go to with questions, suggestions or problems as a Runner or customer? You guessed it. Me.

You can view my full bio here. I like to be out and about in the Boston and Cambridge area so if you see me on the street stop and say hi! I’d love to meet each and every one of you!

Next Wednesday (Feb. 10) I’ll be at the Finagle a Bagel across from the Lechmere T stop (First Street – Cambridge) all afternoon (from 12-5pm). If you are a super runner with 100s of errands under your belt, or have never even run one errand – I want to meet you! Pop in – the coffee and hot cocoa are on me!

And to sweeten the deal, I even get to hand out my own promotions this month. Good for up to $15 off of your first errand, or $5 off any errand thereafter. I’m not above using bribery to get you to love me. Use promo code FREEFEB15.

My motto is “How can I help you today?” Challenge me!

On a personal note, I love karaoke (note: I did not say I was good at karaoke) and I love bustin’ a move to a solid 90’s groove tune. I’m also a dog lover, so you may find me hanging out at the local puppy parks.

I can’t wait to meet you all!
