Weekly Update – December 5, 2025

HOLIDAYS 2025

We’re kicking off December with the Step Into Success Contest, your chance to earn entries for premium prizes from Allen Edmonds, America’s iconic shoemaker since 1922. When you introduce Clients to their craftsmanship, you’re not just selling shoes; you’re elevating wardrobes, deepening relationships, and reinforcing the value of expert, personalized styling.

How It Works

From Monday, 12/1/25 at 12:01 AM CST through Wednesday, 12/31/25 at 11:59 PM CST, every pair of Allen Edmonds shoes you sell earns you one raffle entry.

No caps. No limits. Just connect Clients with premium footwear and build your entries.

Sell at least 3 pairs during December to qualify, and from there:

1 pair sold = 1 raffle entry • 5 pairs sold = 5 entries • 10 pairs sold = 10 entries

And so on. The more pairs you sell, the more chances you have to win.

The Rewards

We’ll be drawing for two major prizes for qualifying Stylists:

#1.) A complimentary pair of Allen Edmonds shoes of your choice

#2.) A premium Allen Edmonds shoe care kit

And there’s more! If we collectively exceed 250 pairs sold in December, we will unlock a third winner, who will receive: An Allen Edmonds belt

Winners

Winners will be announced live on the Pre-Spring Kickoff Call on January 5, 2026. Once winners are announced, please connect with Deb Scanlan to confirm shoe choice, shipping details, and—if applicable—your shoe care kit or belt. Only one prize per Stylist.

Allen Edmonds Fit Guide

This is your opportunity to close the year strong, celebrate your success, and step into January with the classic sophistication that defines both J.Hilburn and Allen Edmonds.

Here’s to a stylish December and a month full of big wins!

A big “Thank You” to everyone who participated in the Thanksgiving “Thank You” Challenge! During the All-Stylist call on Tuesday, we announced the two winners of the Large Pale Pink Ferragamo Totes (retail value $1650 US).

Congratulations to our two winners:

Stacey Mlicki & Nancy Turk

Thank you for your dedication, your creativity, and the momentum you’ve brought to the season. Enjoy your totes!

The Seasonal Appreciation redemption period has arrived! Earned credits are now active in Client accounts for those who earned in November. Seasonal Appreciation credits are valid in December and must be redeemed by December 31. Any Seasonal Appreciation credits that are not used in December will be forfeited. Clients may transfer their Seasonal Appreciation credits to another Client, but transferred credits must still be redeemed by December 31. Clients who wish to transfer credits should reach out to our Client Support Team for assistance. Stylists may not request credit transfers.

The Seasonal Appreciation redemption period creates a natural opportunity for you to re-engage with your Clients in December. Strengthen your relationships with your Clients by encouraging them to redeem their credits to help further build out their wardrobe. Advise them that this is the perfect opportunity to purchase extra-special items from their wish list that may be outside of their normal budget or from a category that they’ve never bought before.

We are pleased to share that for a limited time through the holiday season, we’ve added two new Allen Edmonds belt styles to our assortment. Available in multiple colors and ready to ship quickly, these styles are a great offering for Clients looking for last-minute gifting or wardrobe needs.

This offering is meant to provide you and your Clients with added flexibility during the holidays, as these belts are not custom and have a much quicker shipping window to arrive in time for the holidays. We recommend you place Allen Edmonds orders for holiday gifting by or before December 15^th, as we cannot guarantee delivery.

These belts will be available from November 26th through December 31^st.

If your Clients order by these dates, it is more likely that they will receive their orders in time for the holidays.

We want to prevent you from receiving a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that the combination of name and taxpayer identification number (Name/TIN combination) on your account with J.Hilburn, Inc. does not match and needs to be corrected. A Name/TIN combination is incorrect if it does not match a Name/TIN combination shown on the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the IRS.

Weekly Update – November 28, 2025

HOLIDAYS 2025

The Home Office will be closed on Thursday, November 27th, and Friday, November 28th, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.

To support you as you close out the month of November, the Stylist Success Team will be available on Saturday, November 29th, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM CST, and Sunday, November 30th, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM CST.

Challenge Ends Sunday, November 30th at 11:59 PM

We’re closing out November with a festive “thank you” to all of you who have helped make the Seasonal Appreciation promotion such a success. Say hello to the Thanksgiving “Thank You” Challenge, your chance to earn entries for an exclusive, personally sourced Large Pale Pink Ferragamo Tote… straight from Milan (retail value $1650 US).

How it works is simple:
From Friday, 11/21/25 at 12:01 a.m. CST through Sunday, 11/30/25 at 11:59 p.m. CST, every order of $1,000 or more earns you one raffle entry. There’s no cap, no limit, and no complicated math. Just produce qualifying orders, and you’re in.

The more high-value orders you place, the more entries you stack.
Example: Submit six $1,000+ orders during the promotion window, and you earn six entries in the Ferragamo tote drawing.

And here’s the best part:
We’ll be drawing two winners, one from each cohort:

1 Stylist winner
1 Studio Stylist winner

These aren’t just any totes. They were personally sourced in Italy by our Home Office’s own Simone Pizzuti and cannot be purchased in the U.S. This is true Italian luxury and a one-of-a-kind reward for your hard work this season.

Key Details

No limit on the number of qualifying orders from 11/21–11/30
Orders from new or existing Clients both count
Repeat November buyers count if their new order is $1,000+
Only orders placed during the promotion period qualify

Both winners will be drawn live on the Tuesday, 12/2 All-Stylist Call at 10:30 a.m. CST.
The Ferragamo totes will ship to winners within 24 hours of the raffle.

This is our way of saying thank you for your dedication, your creativity, and the momentum you’ve brought to the season. Now, go stack those entries for your chance to bring home a little luxury from Italy.

We are pleased to launch a Client incentive for November and December: Seasonal Appreciation.

This exciting program rewards your Clients for investing in their personal style in November and creates natural opportunities for you to re-engage them in December.

Here’s How Seasonal Appreciation Works:

Clients earn $150 in credits for every $1,000 spent in November, up to $750 total.
Credits can be redeemed from December 5–31 toward additional purchases.

Watch the video below for more details on how to maximize this offer:

Seasonal Appreciation appeals to Clients who value exclusivity, quality, and smart rewards. This is an ideal way to strengthen Client relationships heading into the holidays and increase your November and December sales.

Fall is here – and the holidays are just around the corner! We strongly encourage you to place your holiday orders as early as possible. For any Clients wishing to place gift orders for the holidays, please refer to the order cut-off dates below. These dates are being offered as guidelines NOT as guarantees.
