You may recall that in 2008 Ruby Lane celebrated its tenth year in business. In celebration we offered a series of 10-Cent Tuesdays, where the Listing Fee is only 10 cents instead of the usual 30 cents. In 2009 we are continuing this promotion. The next 10-Cent Tuesday will be held Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 beginning at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time and ending at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

On September 22nd, 2009 Ruby Lane held a “Green Listing Day” where all items listed on that day were only charged 10 cents instead of the regular 30 cent listing fee. On September 25, 2009 all of the proceeds from those listings were donated by Ruby Lane directly to the World Wildlife Fund. The total donated was $424. Ruby Lane conducts several Green Listing Days throughout the year.

Green Listing Day Update: Donation To WWF

Sometimes I become disheartened when it seems as though my efforts to make a difference amount to only a drip of a drop of the proverbial drop in a bucket. After all, I’m only one person. But as a Ruby Lane shop owner, I’m delighted with the emphasis that management is placing on "Going Green!" -- challenging and inspiring us to reduce waste and help improve the environment.

Whew – it’s hot out there! To help alleviate the summer heat, we are pleased to announce a Free Listing Day for all Ruby Lane Shops. The promotion begins Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time and ends 11:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. This means that for items that you add to your shop during this period, you will not be charged the normal 30 cent listing fee (15 cents for Charter Shops). You must have a positive balance of at least $1.00 in your account to take advantage of this promotion.

We are pleased to announce another Green Listing Day! During this promotion all items newly-listed on the site will only be charged 10 cents instead of the regular 30 cent Listing Fee. Ruby Lane will contribute 100% of the fees received on Green Listing Day to the World Wildlife Fund which was voted on by you, the shop owner to receive the donation.

When first starting on Twitter, many folks wonder what they should talk about. One of the nice things about Twitter is that there are no rules, so the sky's the limit. However, it helps to stay somewhat focused on whatever it is that you want to accomplish with Twitter. However, mixing it up with other topics can only attract more people to read your posts.

We are pleased to announce some exciting updates to the Ruby Lane site, as well as a few additional announcements you won’t want to miss. As always, these updates are designed to further improve both the buying and selling experience for users. Read on for the latest improvements to Ruby Lane.
