Special-Sales Tip of the Day, March 6, 2015
Why is a concise promotion called a blurb? The word blurb, meaning an inspired recommendation, comes from an evening in 1907 during an annual trade dinner of New York publishers where it was customary to distribute copies of new books with special promotional jackets. For his book, humorist Gelett Burgess caused a sensation with a cover drawing of a very attractive and buxom young woman he named ‘Miss Belinda Blurb.” From then on, any flamboyant endorsement would be known as a “blurb.” (“The Little Book of Answers,” by Doug Lennox)
You Said It
“It looks like your special freight arrangements will be saving me about $1,000 on my first book order. Thanks a lot!”
Kurt Wright, CPM Publishing
They Said It
"The future has many names. For the weak, it's unattainable. For the fearful, it's unknown. For the bold, it's ideal."
Victor Hugo
Spotlight on an APSS Member Benefit
Discounted website development for APSS members
You can have your website anywhere you like (NewMedia can recommend some good ISPs.) And you can choose any theme you like... there are over 100 themes at no basic cost to you. Would you like a shopping cart or a membership site? NewMedia can do it, but for an added cost, as these are more complex.
Send them your copy in any standard file and they will put it on the site for you. NewMedia will give you a home page, a services/products page, an about-us page, and a contact-us email form page. They get your site up and running quickly, often the day following receipt of all your content.
NewMedia will give you a short, easy to understand manual on how to change pages or add new ones. You can save more money by being your own webmaster. But if that is just too much for you, they can make changes to your site for you (additional cost).
APSS members get a $100 discount. There is a limit of one site per member at this price. Other sites would be at the full-rate.
