$500 Mothers Day Challenge

Would an extra $500 help this Mother's Day?

Last week marked the launch of the new www.CreateABook.com, and our new social forum on at www.Facebook.com/CABInc. To celebrate the grand opening of both, we're throwing a $500 Mothers Day Challenge, see details below!!!

Create-A-Book's strength lay in the hands of our family of independent dealers, and our job is to provide you with the not only the best products, but also the best training and tools. That's why our new goal in 2010 is updating the training manual with a bigger emphasis on the internet, both as a sales channel and a communication platform. Our first step was creating a social forum
where you can post and share ideas with other dealers around the world www.Facebook.com/CABInc

If you're like most people, you've heard of Facebook but don't have a clue how to use it for business. We aim to change that, and the first step is helping you become comfortable with it. We encourage everyone to take a moment to join our Facebook Fan Page to stay current on news from the home office, but more importantly to engage in conversations with other dealers. If you don't currently have a Facebook account, it's free to join and takes only a few minutes.

To jump start the sharing of ideas and open dialog between dealers, we created a contest on our Fan Page to see who can post the best idea on how to market your Mother's Day Personalized Storybook. You can learn more at www.Facebook.com/CABInc, but the concept is simple...post your ideas. Whether it's a 5 word post, or 5 paragraphs, the exercise is aimed to increase your comfort level on Facebook

Worst case scenario, you'll make great contacts and end up with many great ideas to increase your sales this Mother's Day season. The best case scenario is you do the same and win $500!

See you on Facebook, and good luck!
