CLIENT CHITCHAT
Last-minute gift idea! In the last couple of newsletters we highlighted a few fun gift ideas. We have one more last-minute gift to add to your list: The Chapel Chronicles’ comics and collectibles!
What are The Chapel Chronicles? Perfect for tweens, teens and even adults, the Chapel Chronicles’ comic book, line of comic strips and assortment of greeting cards & collectibles featuring Chapel Smith, a quirky 11-year-old girl who favors hats with personality. Created by 14-year-old Emma T Capps, The Chapel Chronicles follow Chapel in her adventures with her babysitter/nemesis Fred, household chores, pop music, and her prickly hedgehog companion Sir Rupert Tennyson Bollingsworth the First.
See the full line of greeting cards, gifts, and comics starring a zany young girl named Chapel Smith in the Chapel Chronicles’ store.

THREE GIRLS GOSSIP
Happy holidays from Three Girls! To give our hardworking staff much deserved time off to enjoy this festive season with their families, Three Girls will be closed during the last week of the year, from mid-day on December 23 through the morning of January 2.
How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Here’s what’s going on around Three Girls:
- Erika will celebrate with family on Christmas Eve and enjoy a quiet Christmas Day at home with her husband, Dennis. They’re saving their travel until March, when they plan to go on a Disney cruise.
- Emily and her husband are traveling to Northern California to visit friends and family, and are excited about spending a few days in Disneyland going into the New Year.
- Jennifer will have family visiting from Texas, Arizona, Maryland and Belize, so she’ll have a very full (and very merry) house for the holidays.

TIPS & TRICKS
8 Quick & Easy Tips to Use Social Media for Your Business: The Internet has been with us for over a decade, yet there are still many business owners who have not embraced social media platforms as part of their company’s PR strategy. Some may use sites like Facebook and Google+ for personal reasons, but when it comes to their business, a solid presence just isn’t there. The bad news is that if you are a business owner and have been avoiding or unable to get on board with today’s social media tools, you’re missing out on tons of exposure, potential new customers, clients and revenue. The good news is that this situation is easily remedied, and you could be enjoying a robust presence by the end of the week, if not today! See 8 quick & easy tips on our blog.
