I'm a bit torn as to whether they really help sales, but they are great for getting the word out, and having some fun :)Meradeth Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741790047121063893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-43282129640960649402013-08-19T07:41:48.653-07:002013-08-19T07:41:48.653-07:00Thanks for the recommendation, Catherine.

I'll have to check out Xpresso and see what they offer.
