Greetings!
"It's paradoxical, I know. Fall represents the end of things: the summer,
and the year drawing to a close. But for anyone who remembers that
sensation of optimism and excitement-the smell of freshly sharpened
pencils and new shoes, the terror and thrill of walking into a new
classroom-September is when things really begin."-Jennifer Weiner, Woman's Day September 2010Happy New Year! Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. As opposed to January 1, today is the restart of a Jewish calendar year. For my kids, it is also the beginning of a new school year! It seems fitting that the two go together. Especially after reading Jennifer Weiner's Woman's Day article, Get a Fresh Start This Fall, where she says, "No matter what the calendar says, the real start of the new year comes in September." As a Mompreneur, my work schedule
matches my kids' school schedule. So, as I prepare to send them back to school, with new clothes, supplies and goals--I also prepare to go back to work! Rather than make resolutions, I revisit my business and marketing plans, re-evaluate my business goals for the upcoming year and re-affirm my "Absolute Yes" list. Plus, I buy some new supplies for my office--I always loved that part of school shopping! Whenever you set your New Year! May yours be happy, healthy, and productive! Shana Tovah! שנה טובה |

Constant Contact
| Refresh with a redesign!
You worked really hard when you created your first email campaign. Once designed, you kept the look the same and changed the content. Thus building your brand and giving your audience something to look forward to each month. But after a while, it starts to get stale.
Tip: Once a year, change it up!
Redesign your look to keep it fresh for your audience.
I volunteer each year to create an email newsletter for my kids' Torah/Hebrew School. I designed it and the parents loved it. With the start of a new school year, I thought I would change the design a bit. I kept the same feel with colors, images and content sections, but refreshed the look. Take a peek!

Summer Memories
Now that the kids are back in school, life returns to a busy normalcy. No more are the lazy days of summer. However, with Send Out Cards and Picture Plus, you can send personalized cards to family and friends sharing all your summer memories.
Tip: Don't bundle your pictures into an online album, share your pictures in a personalized card.
My dad will be disappointed to learn that I took very few pictures during my latest trip to Chicago this summer. But I was having so much fun with my friends and family that made the pictures I did take more priceless. Rather than bundle my trip into one online album, I'm uploading my pictures to Picture Plus and sharing only the pictures with those in them. Plus I can share a personalized message, like Thank you!

Calendars
 Magnetic Business Card Calendars are a great way to keep your name in front of
your customers all year long. They are easy to use, cheap to give, and keep you top of mind all year long. They are a great give-away for any business.
These calendar pads are great for network meeting giveaways, meeting drop offs, or as an insert to holiday cards. Each box includes 100 calendars and pre-printed envelopes for
mailing. Simply peel off liner to expose the 3-1/2" x 2" adhesive strip
and affix your business card to the magnet. The center punch out magnet
can be applied to an additional card to create a magnetic business card.
You now have 2 unique promotional products and an innovative gift idea.
Tip: Calendars are great giveaways all year long!
Each year, a VA friend sends me a paper calendar. It is beautiful, personalized and reminds me of how great she is to remember me. However no matter how much I care for my friend, once I open the envelope and see the calendar card, it goes in the recycle. In contrast my fridge is full of magnets that I see every day.
