Countdown to Black Friday 2009

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

The busiest day of the holiday shopping season is known as Black Friday… the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many stores and retailers will be offering blockbuster deals and great discounts on items. In the past, consumers had to wait to receive the sales flyers in their mailboxes or newspaper, but times have changed. With online tools like Twitter, Facebook, iPhone apps and a website like BlackFriday.info plus sneak peek emails, shoppers are able to get a head start on finding the deals they want to take advantage of.

Well we couldn’t let this opportunity past you by either, so as our way of saying thank you to our loyal customers we will have our first ever Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale on Friday, November 27th. So stay tuned and watch your inbox for this great limited time offer on medial IDs. Not on our email list? Sign up.

Happy Black Friday shopping!

What a Busy Week! Veterans Day, National NP Week & World Diabetes Day.

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

At American Medical ID we always try to be aware of what is going on in the news and more importantly, we try to recognize important events and holidays. Well, the second week in November was quite a busy one full with many important happenings and events!

First and foremost we would like to formally recognize Veterans Day and extend our most sincere appreciation to all of the Veterans of our nation. For information, please visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs site at: www.va.gov.

Also, here is a great link to a National Geographic article that explains what Veterans Day is, who it is for and why it is always November 11th. There are some great pictures of Arlington National Cemetery. Click here: http://is.gd/4Tuc0

Did you know this week was also National Nurse Practitioner Week? We would also like to thank all the Nurse Practitioners that are the primary care providers of choice for many patients and many of our customers.

To find a Nurse Practitioner or to learn more about the services they provide, click here: http://www.npfinder.com/.

Finally, we would like to remind everyone that this Saturday, November 14th is World Diabetes Day. According to www.WorldDiabetesDay.org, the purpose of this campaign is to promote awareness of diabetes and to help all those responsible for diabetes care to understand this condition.

As you can see, several major events occurred this week. Please take a moment to recognize the importance of all three.

What’s Coming This Holiday Season?

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Is it just me, or do the holidays come earlier each and every year?  I was at the mall today with my family and was shocked to see Santa was already taking photos with children!  I guess that means the Holidays are officially here!  What did I miss?  I thought we just made it through Halloween!  I feel like I must be behind on my holiday shopping already.

I do enjoy this time of year and the excitement that comes with it.  Working for a medical ID jewelry company is even more exciting since we will soon be launching several new product lines just in time for gift-giving!  It’s a thrill to be involved in the creation and implementation of  these new designs.  We try to listen to our customer suggestions and launch stylish new product lines.  Yet at American Medical ID we are always very aware of making all new designs still distinctly a medical ID.  We want our customers to be protected in those unforeseen situations!

So, keep an eye on our site over the coming weeks and watch your email for great sales and promotions. And, most of all, try to remember to slow down a bit and enjoy the holiday season!
