Super-short Christmas Issue!

This is the shortest PODcast ever — Holiday sales have just not given me any time to put together any meaningful content. But I've still got a reason for sending out this issue. First off, we do need to get out the monthly coupon of course. But, at the close of 2007, I wish to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers by adding Free Shipping onto this issue's coupon. It's my Christmas present to you. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Please note that after you enter the coupon, "Free Ground Shipping" will appear at the top of the shipping options list. Also note holiday shipping limitations below.

Holiday Closure:
PodMerchant offices will be closed for the holidays starting Saturday, 12/22, through the end of the year. Our first day open for support and shipping will be Wednesday, January 2nd. Any orders placed after Friday's shipment will not be sent out until 1/2/2008.

PodMerchant News

Our sea shipment from Italy arrived and we now have plenty of Blucaffe' back in stock. Unfortunately, after talking-up Covim in the last issue, we ran right out of it. But we've got that back in stock now, too. I've got a new product lined up to start selling in January or Feb. I'm keeping it a secret for now, but let's just say that I'm very excited about it.
