		<description>This is by far, your best newsletter yet!  I do my business 90% online and my customer data base is my most important asset.  I like to send out newsletters monthly and to give the best customer service that I myself, can possibly give.  Each customer receives a goody bag with free promotional items with every order.  Perfection is impossible, but to strive for excellence is the best anyone can do.
Thanks for remembering us &quot;little guys&quot;!</description>

		<description>I agree!
I have many customers coming back just because of our choice of bags!!! They love them!
I have started using the plain T-sacks to conserve a little when packing up Webkinz etc. but for the most part we go all out with tissue and bows to treat our customers!!!</description>

		<description>I just received the email with great information
for the small business owner. It is nice to know that there are large companies who do truly care about small businesses. It&#039;s encouraging. I am going to use some of the ideas and insights this year to promote my little gift shop better. Thank you.</description>

		<description>I want to thank you for sharing the newsletter. I just opened my dream of a humorous art gallery in Breckenridge, CO. The suggestions are very helpful and I plan on implementing many of them. Thanks again</description>

		<description>Customer Service!!  I don&#039;t know how many times I have gone into a major specialty retailers and have not been acknowledged.  Sales associates are chatting among themselves and after several minutes walking around the store, I have walked out--a missed sale.  In tough economic times, excellent customer service is paramount in making you stand out.   If a customer has a bad experience, they will tell everyone</description>

		<description>Thanks for the encouragment with your news letter.  I own a gift shop with very nice items.  But, times are slowing down with the price of living going up at this time.  I do plan on putting a few of your thoughts to action.</description>
