Flattered

I got a nice surprise the other day when I received an e-mail from Blurb asking permission to use one of my photo books for marketing purposes.  It was a Christmas 2007 Book and the first Blurb Book I had ever created.  I was so flattered by the request and of course, said yes.  Here's a copy of the e-mail.


Dear Melissa,

Congratulations on your Blurb book creation, Christmas 2007! We think it is fantastic.

We'd like to know if you would consider giving us approval to reproduce and use your book for our marketing purposes.

Blurb would use a copy of the book for meetings at Blurb headquarters, as visual for our in-house library showcase, with marketing materials and at industry conferences.

Essentially, when our executives are traveling or have meetings in-house they like to have samples of books, like Christmas 2007 that they can show to people as a good quality example of what people can create with BookSmart.

Please note, our Blurb executives will not directly sell the book. Any purchase inquiries that we receive regarding your book will be directed to your book details page and will be available for purchase provided the book is marked “public”.

In exchange for book approval we would like to offer you a gift certificate worth $150.00.

To give your consent please sign and return the attached contract either via fax, JPG or PDF. If this is not of interest please send a quick note letting us know.

We do hope your experiences with Blurb are good. We are constantly making improvements so we can offer an unparalleled product for our users, we understand the passion and time you put into your book creations.

We’d love to hear the story behind your book. Please include in your email a couple of lines of how your book came about.

Best Wishes & Happy Book Making!
