New In-Store and Online December Event Experience to Replace 2021 KOC Convention
In light of the uncertainty related to the pandemic, Hallmark has decided not to host an in-person KOC Convention in Kansas City in 2021. While many of you enjoy this experience, Hallmark has thought long and hard about how to proceed. Even though this event may look different in the future, the Keepsakes team is excited to bring something new to more of the KOC community in 2021.
Keepsake elves are hard at work on a new in-store and online event experience the team thinks you’ll really enjoy! Starting next year, all KOC members will be invited to receive exclusive access and benefits at this December Keepsake Event.
Members can look forward to:
- A new, limited edition ornament collection.
- Virtual Keepsake Artist interactions.
- Signed ornament prizes.
- Opportunities to connect with other Keepsake fans.
- And so much more.
The team can’t wait to share the details with you next year, but for now, be sure to join the Keepsake Ornament Club beginning 11.10.2020 to kick start your membership and unlock access to this exciting new event.
