"GP3's Cyber
Saturday"

Happy Thanksgiving from George Poe Trio!
While we suspect that most of you still may be a little groggy from sleeping off a tryptophan-induced coma, we wanted to alert you to something happening on this coming Saturday within 'GP3 Land' .
In November of 2004, an overwhelming amount of of
online retailers (77%) reported a significant
increase in sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
As this trend continued from year to year, the U.S.
trade association coined the term "Cyber Monday'.
Much like storefront retailers 'Black Friday' (the
Friday after Thanksgiving) sales, online retailers
offer huge discounts to their patrons to entice them
to amass insurmountable credit card debit with their stores vs.
their competitor's outlets. More than 500 retailers offered
significant discounts for the 2007 holidays.
Regrettably the product team of GP3 totally missed
out on this opportunity, resulting in Lee having to
sell most all of his plasma to the blood bank to
sponsor his kid's Christmas morning.
[In our
sincerest Sally Struthers voice impersonation]
"Please, don't let this happen again.
(sniff) Won't
you make a GP3 purchase today? You CAN make a
difference.(sniff)"
Ah, but here's the twist: To make up for last year's
'oversight', we encourage you to visit the GP3
'Store' 2 days before the other retailers get a
crack at your wallet. Order some GP3 bumper
stickers, buttons, t-shirts, calendars, coffee mugs,
tote bags, aprons, mouse pads. We even are hawking
pet clothing this year! Just order -You'll be glad
you did.
Just imagine how smug you'll feel when you arrive back to work next Monday having all of your holiday shopping completed, while your co-workers feverishly click away online. Imagine your supervisor's delight in you on that day, because you are actually getting work done as opposed to all those other lemmings in the office. Who knows, it may even end up in helping you to be promoted (allowing you to buy more from us next year). So embrace your destiny! Buy as many GP3 products as you can before those credit cards are all exhausted.

Go Shopping at the GP3 Store"
It's fun, and it's much safer than wrestling a brand
new laptop computer from the crazed hands of some
cranky, gumbo-eating, hip-hop-dressing, middle-age
white woman who spent the night in the local Wal-mart
parking lot to save some dough.
