Fresh Celebrate Green News November 5, 2008
We need your help!
Yesterday we received word that a distributor who sells to just the stores that Celebrate Green! ought to be in, decided not to take on the book. He left one, small opening. If enough stores like Whole Foods and other natural food and health stores, ask the distributor for the book, they'll reconsider.
If you want to help, please call your local store, whether it's Whole Foods (go here type in your zip code to get the phone number for your local Whole Foods Market), or any other "natural" food store that you think would be a good fit for Celebrate Green!, and ask to speak to the book buyer(s). Tell them about the book, how it's got everyone talking, great reviews and would make a terrific gift, and ask if they would talk to their distributor about carrying it. Send them to our website, www.CelebrateGreen.NET and from there they can contact us.
A five minute call can make all the difference for Celebrate Green! Thank you from the bottom of our little green hearts.
We won't forget you when we're famous
Next Monday, we shoot a segment on greening Christmas for a company that syndicates programming for about half the TV stations in the U.S., including nine of the ten top markets. What this means is that you're going to have to drop all your plans to watch us when we're on! Of course, we don't know when that is yet, but meantime, wish us luck as we try to eliminate all "ummmm's" from our speech, avoid attaching ourselves to packages as we use the furoshiki techniques we've grown to love, and Lynn attempts to keep her swinging chins from diverting attention from what we're saying.
Yes, you can buy Celebrate Green! on Amazon, but...
One of the first questions we get when we tell people about Celebrate Green! is, "Is it available on Amazon?" It is. But they are having trouble keeping it in stock, and frankly, we'd much rather you buy it from us. For one thing, when you do, you have the option of planting a tree for $1 via Eco Libris. For another, we've never heard of Amazon giving a box or organic chocolates for a penny like we're doing in conjunction with www.Sjaaks.com. So while listing on Amazon is a must for every bookseller today, if anyone asks, suggest they buy directly from us at www.CelebrateGreen.NET
Contests and goodies and giveaways, oh my!
We hope you realize that Celebrate Green is no ordinary website. Nope! We bring you not only the latest information on celebrating green, but also offer lots of fun stuff! Be sure to check our contests and giveaways link for the latest interactive events that may result in your walking away with a copy of Celebrate Green! and/or other goodies. Here's what we've got going right now:
- Visit our blog. Tell us about what you'll be doing to green up your celebrations this holiday season on the post titled "Celebrate Green book plus goodies giveaway" and you could win...well, you'll just have to take a peak and find out.
- Thanks to the generosity of www.Sjaaks.com, we're still giving away a gorgeous box of organic truffles for just one penny when you buy a copy of Celebrate Green!
- Then of course, there is the quote contest we're running with Little Chickie Wear.
- Thnk your kids are cute when they're celebrating green? Be sure to send us photos. We might use them on the website, in our blog or on one of the other blogs we regularly post on.
No buyer's remorse here!
Now that the election is over, we'll bet your thoughts are turning toward the upcoming holidays. While it's not in our best interest to say this, we advocate buying nothing and giving the gift of yourself, donating to a charitable cause, or making your own presents. That said, if you absolutely, positively insist on buying something, why not give everyone on your list the gift that keeps on giving--Celebrate Green!
Celebrate Green! is perfect for everyone--crotchety or sweet, tall or short, creative or not, silly or serious, just learning to drive or no longer doing it, newly green or confirmed environmentalist. It's printed on 100% post consumer waste paper paper. You can plant a tree when you purchase and we even give loads of ideas for recycling the book--in the book.
If you own a business, why not give Celebrate Green! to employees and customers? They'll love you, the Earth will love you and we will too. And we're happy to offer a discount if you order 10 or more copies. Now that's what we call a win-win-win.
