Introducing IndieGiftGuide!

Hello Indiepublic Members and Advertisers,

Fall is in the air and that means....The Holidays are coming!

I am so excited about the launch of Indie Gift Guide! The gift guide will have it's own dot com at IndieGiftGuide.com

I hope you will find that Indie Gift Guide will be unlike any other gift guide or online market you've seen. The Indie Gift Guide will be comprised of special holiday editions. The first holiday edition will be running for Halloween and all happy hauntings from October 1st through October 31st.

The Happy Hauntings edition will launch the website, Indie Gift Guide AND will be FREE to advertise in. This will give you, the advertiser, an opportunity to try it out and our members a chance to find that really unique Halloween item!

Think exclusive gift guide for shopping handmade as well as Eco friendly and recycled "up-cycled" products. This will be a great place to find those sales too! I welcome all independent & small businesses, in keeping with the Indiepublic spirit and mission.

I want to maintain the integrity of the gift guide for representing independent artists and small business so all applications and bookings will be reviewed. In order to make your listing look the best, you must be able to provide clear photography of your products and a well written description. You can feel confident that Indie Gift Guide will be sure to make each and every participant look good!

Join us for the launch of Indie Gift Guide – Happy Hauntings - Halloween Edition with a start date of October 1st. Indie Gift Guide is a professionally designed site and my goal is for your business to succeed and grow in an ever changing world of independent businesses.

The Indie Gift Guide will be advertised on Indiepublic (with 245,000 plus page views a month) and other various blogs, websites and venues. This also includes a professionally written press release - the copy of which is included below for your reference!

Thank you for your continued support of Indiepublic and for supporting independent businesses.

Sincerely,
Casie Metcalf
Indiepublic & IndieGiftGuide

IndieGiftGuide.com Offers Exclusive Promotion Opportunity For Handmade and Recycled Items

Portland, ME – October 1, 2008 – Small and independent business owners know how hard it can be to compete with big corporations when it comes to marketing. Thankfully, they have a powerful ally in Casie Metcalf, owner of www.IndiePublic.com, an online community for artisans of handmade items.

With the holiday season upon us, Metcalf is turning her attention to helping business owners reach holiday shoppers with the launch of www.IndieGiftGuide.com.

The website will be a showcase for handmade as well as Eco friendly and recycled or "up-cycled" products. The Indie Gift Guide will be comprised of special holiday editions. The first edition, known as “Happy Hauntings,” will be Halloween themed and will run from October 1st through October 31st.

To help launch the site, Metcalf is allowing business owners to list their advertisement for free in the Happy Hauntings edition. This will be a way for business owners to reach buyers interested in handmade items and it will offer buyers the ability to find many unique Halloween items, all in one place.

“I hope people will find that IndieGiftGuide.com will be unlike any other gift guide or online market they’ve seen.,” said Casie Metcalf, owner of IndieGiftGuide.com and IndiePublic.com. “We will be keeping with the Indiepublic.com spirit and mission and will welcome all independent & small businesses.”

Thanks for the news! I've been thinking that in a time of "short funds" due to a tough economy, handmade gifts provide a lot for the price. They're unique, artistic, and available for all types of folks at many different prices!
