Making Coupons Fast and Easy

Just passing on one of my favorite marketing-aid sites. I love it as much as I do the banner creation sites. When you need a coupon for promotions, this is the place to go for a professional-looking one: http://www.oneminutecoupon.com/ . BTW, I talk a bit about using coupons in A Retailer's Guide to Frugal In-Store Promotions--along with tons of other events and marketing tools we use in our most important asset, our stores. Whether that's the stuff of stucco and beams or online.

Retail Consultant's Book from the HowToDoItFrugally Series of Book for Retailers Nominated for Award!

Military Writers Society of America member reviewers independently nominate books for awards using a scoring system each year and one of my books, A Retailer's Guide to Frugal In-Store Promotions in the HowToDoItFrugaly series of books for writers, was nominated.

In fact, two were nominated. The other is  my chapbook of poetry She Wore Emerald Then with Magdalena ball.

You may wonder why I even mention the poetry in a blog for retailers. Well, retailers have been selling poetry in greeting cards for ages. so there. Further, I think my "other writing" gives me crediblity when I'm telling you how to write in books for retailers like Your Blog, Your Business.   I mean, I'm not just practical! I have...ahem...this artistic side, too. (-:

That may seems like Winners will be announced on Veterans Radio Network (http://www.veteransradio.net/) on July 31 at 9am Eastern time.
