The marketing team started a twitter page and Facebook page and then got a cash mob going so the business would get a huge surge. The article said it was such a huge success that people had wrapped all around the store. The business had been struggling to have 8 customers a day and they all the sudden had over 800.

I think that was so clever by the marketing team they also set it up they donated some proceeds to a local charity. Any one that sells a product or owns a business can not underestimate the importance of having a good marketing plan. If you’re not effectively getting your product or message out to the public then you cannot expect to succeed.

I am amazed everything that goes into a campaign to make a product or company successful especially for a small business.  It is so much more than sending out a tweet or updating a Facebook status. If I ever get to open my own small business I will be getting some help from marketing experts.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was

compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

nomorerack has been featured everywhere lately for example you might have seen them on The Talk, The View, Martha, and more. I have also read about them on countless blogs and in many national magazines and newspapers. They are so popular because the deals are that great. The really offer quality products for less and what I personally love about the site is that the deals change out every day.

For example I love todays deal for the beautiful stackable eternity rings the price only $10 that is a savings of 80 percent! I also liked the deal for the Sela Sandals amazing price of only $22 that is a savings of 72 percent and these are so cute perfect summer sandals.

So if I was you I would make visiting nomorerack.com part of my daily routine so you don’t miss out on an amazing deal!

My mom and dad recently went to http://www.tvbydirect.com/ and subscribed to the king, mack daddy of all satellite TV deals. This was a huge shock to me because this is totally not parents style at all. They are the type of people who have had the same computer with dial-up internet for the past 17 years. I mean for crying out loud, it was only two weeks ago that they got rid of their 25 year old television which only got six channels. I honestly though that they would live in the “stone age” for ever. I guess people do change. My mom even had me set up a Facebook account for her yesterday. Now, her being able to use it or even understand how to turn the computer on is a different story. Times were different when they were growing up. I guess people had to actually call each other on the phone and write letters by hand to communicate. Technology sure has sped up our life, I just wish sometimes we could take a second breathe.

AMAZING!!!!! This popcorn is so good you will be hooked I have made popcorn with chocolate on it before and it was no way near as good as this. My favorite was the Twice-As-Nice Chocolate Drizzle Corn and Chris loved the Dark Fudge with Praline Almonds. The kids loved all of it. Right now as I write this post Thor and I are finishing off the Cinnamon Crème Drizzle corn and it is still so good and fresh and we have had it for over a week and it is been open for a few days.  The best way I can explain the taste is it melts in your mouth and it is the perfect salty, chocolaty, sweet combination.

I have one more book from omBooks and (Oceanhouse Media digital books) for young readers to share with you this one is from the The Enchanted Tales series and is Treasure Island.

More information about Treasure Island:

Treasure Island, is offered for the special introductory price of 99 cents for iOS devices. When young Jim Hawkins suddenly finds himself in possession of a mysterious treasure map, he sets sail for the South Sea with his off-beat friends, Biscuit the mouse and Dickens the ship's cat. When trouble arises, the trio barely escape the pirate's midnight mutiny as they flea to Treasure Island where they embark on a wild, laugh-packed quest to unearth the buried doubloons before the bumbling buccaneers beat them to it. 

You will quickly learn from following my blog that I think the iPad is a wonderful learning tool. I am so thankful to be able to provide it to my children and I think it really has helped them a lot. I am always on the lookout for new educational apps and books. My kids love to read on the iPad. We go into the city once a week and it means a two hour car ride and during that time they spend it reading books on the iPad.

So we just got done trying out  as you might have read in the previous post A Frog Thing and the kids give it 5 stars! They also loved Treasure Island in fact it was Jack’s Favorite. I enjoyed the story myself and Jack talked about finding Treasures for the rest of the day. I love when a book makes an impression on a child. I also love this book is right now only $.99 cents that is however a special introductory price, so you want to try and pick it up before the price rises. I think it is amazing to be able to add a wonderful book to your kids collection for less than $1.00.

Disclosure:

I was provided with a free code to try out the book, but no other compensation was provided. This is my honest opinion of the title.

More information about A Frog Thing:

 A Frog Thing from our Kidwick Books series, available for the special introductory price of $1.99 for iOS and Android devices.  Frank wasn't satisfied doing ordinary frog things. He wanted to fly and he was determined to find a way. While the other frogs laughed at his unsuccessful attempts, Frank kept on flapping. He jumped and ran and leapt and dove. . . right into a friendly mother bird and her baby. Can the bird family help Frank accomplish his dreams?

Here's a sneak peek at A Frog Thing:

So we just got done trying out A Frog Thing and the kids give it 5 stars! It is a really cute book and fully entertained them. I much rather listen to my kids sounding out words in the car than the radio it makes me so happy! I also love this book is right now only $1.99 that is however a special introductory price, so you want to try and pick it up before the price rises. 

The stories come with three different modes: One is read to me Carly does this one she is 4. Read it myself is the option Jack uses, and I set it on Auto Play when I am helping Thor with it.

In the first book collection you get:

The Cat in the Hat stars a cheerful and exotic Cat that brings chaos to the house of two young kids on a rainy day while their mother is out.

 One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is a freewheeling plot about a boy and a girl and the many amazing creatures they meet. (My personal Favorite)

• The FOOT Book introduces the concept of opposites through funny and creative depictions of different kinds of feet!

• Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You? is Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises and explores with children the sounds they hear everyday and how to mimic them!

• Fox in Socks features two delightful characters, Fox and Knox, who converse almost entirely in rhyming tongue-twisters. "A tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in sox, sir!"

Available for Apple devices for $11.99 I have personally tried the app on an original iPad, iPad2, and iPhone4 and it worked flawlessly on all three devices.

I also have a few more great ideas on my Valentines Day Treats for Kids Board. The kids and I are doing the crayons tonight!

I have a lot of games from Gamehouse I love the hidden object games they have and of course my absolute favorite game is Bejeweled. I can play it for hours and hours. When we moved I had my laptop upfront and when Chris was driving I was enjoying my game. I cannot sit still in a car.

I think it is really cool they just came out with bejeweled 3 and right now you can get it for 50% off but you should hurry because it is a limited time offer. I am personally really excited about the third edition.

They have games including bejeweled for the pc, online, and mobile devices including both the iPad and android devices.  Also if you check out the site everyday on the right side bar they have a daily free game you will want to book mark that for sure, because they do update it daily. Gamehouse is responsible for so many amazing games make sure to also check out Plants vs Zombies you will be hooked.
