STILL AVAILABLE! Groupon: $75 worth of Picaboo products, only $25!

Note: This deal is STILL AVAILABLE!

Well, goodness, you'd think I was psychic!  After posting my love of Picaboo this morning, it's like I just knew I'd have another great deal to pass along to you!  What I didn't mention this morning was the reason I first began using Picaboo so frequently was because of a purchase of a Groupon about a year ago, very similar to the one below, which gave me an even better deal on their high quality books.  So, if you haven't seen it, yet, check out my blog about Picaboo here, then check out this great Groupon deal below!

Just released on Groupon: $75 worth of products from Picaboo for only $25 (or you could choose to pay $35 for $100 worth of products)!  This deal is valid for multiple cities (and can be redeemed from anywhere)!

Here's what to do:

1. Sign-in or Register at Groupon.
2. After selecting your city, look to the right side of the screen.  On that ride sidebar, you should be able to find a link labeled "On-line Deal" with this deal listed.  Click that link!
3. Click the large "Buy!"  button and complete your purchase details.
4. Your voucher should be listed in "My Groupons" in your account starting tomorrow.

5. Head to Picaboo to download their FREE software and begin creating products!  When you're ready to check-out, enter the code (listed in your voucher on Groupon) in the box labeled specifically for Groupon codes - so easy!


The Fine Print:

• Expires Nov 18, 2011
• Limit 1 per person, may buy 2 additional as gifts. 
• Limit 1 per order. 
• Valid toward tax and shipping. 
• Valid only for photo books, calendars, and collage posters. 
• Not valid with other offers or Groupons. 
• May redeem across multiple orders.

Picaboo: Photo Books - $10 off + FREE Shipping!

If you're like me, you have tons of digital photos filling up your hard-drive, but very little outside of the computer. My favorite thing to do with these is to create quality photobooks - beautiful albums my family will cherish for years to come.  To make a photo book, I upload my photos to my website of choice (or download their book software for FREE), arrange my photos as I like, then the website prints them in a bound, hardcover book.

There are many sites that have frequent deals on cheap books (such as ArtsCow, Snapfish or Shutterfly), but when you want a nice quality book, I recommend heading to a site such as Picaboo or MyPublisher.  These sites offer linen-covered books with quality printing.  You can choose to simply plug your pictures into their multitude of layout options or customize your book in tons of ways!  Lately I have been using Picaboo quite frequently.  In fact, I just got my latest order from them in the mail today and it's gorgeous!

If you want to get started on your own photo books, Picaboo is currently running a great promotion: $10 off any 8x8, 8.5x11, 11x14 or 12x12 photo book - this makes their pricing start at $19.99 for an 8.5x11 book - and FREE shipping (a $6.99 value)!  Simply use code AUSTEN at checkout.  Again, if you seek out the right deal, you can find a cheaper photo book, but the size and quality of these books is of a higher standard, so if that's what you're looking for, Picaboo is what you want!

*Note: I'm also a big fan of digital scrapbooking.  Next week, I'll mention more about that, as well as host a giveaway of a software I've recently been told about.  Stay tuned!

I was not asked to endorse Picaboo and all opinions are my own - I just really like their books!

Groupon: $100 of Picaboo products for $35

Groupon is having another Picaboo deal.  This time they're offering $100 in Picaboo products for $35.  These are very quality books.  In fact, a Picaboo offer was the first Groupon I ever purchased because I love making photobooks to preserve my own memories and make gifts for Grandmas - they love seeing pictures of their Grandkids!

If you want to take advantage of the current Picaboo deal, visit Groupon and register if you haven't already done so.  Today's Picaboo deal is their on-line deal, so you should be able to find it in the right side-bar for any city you're in, but if not, check out Springfield, MO.

Therefore, after you've registered/signed in:
1. If you don't see the Picaboo deal in the right sidebar of your city, click on the arrow next to the name of the city and find Springfield, MO.
2. Find the Picaboo deal along the right side and click on that.
2. Click "Buy!" and complete your information.
3. Do a little Happy Dance because you just got a great deal!

Your Groupon will become active on April 26 and you can start making books as soon as you want after that.  You have until October 20, 2011 to use all of your credit (but it does not all have to be used in one order!).  Also, this deal can be applied toward tax and shipping, so that's great!  If you wait, too, you can typically find really good deals on Picaboo books (such as Buy One Get One Free or 50% off) - if you want me to let you know when coupon codes for Picaboo books show up, let me know!

*If you're a Swagbucks user, be sure to buy your Groupon through them.  When you get to the homepage, click on the Earn tab at the top and then Daily Deals.  You will see a list of Groupon offers in your area.  Click on any of those (it doesn't have to be this specific deal) and then find this deal under Springfield.  You should still earn 160sb for purchasing any Groupon!

Picaboo: FREE PhotoBook for NEW customers

Right now, Picaboo (a quality photo book company) is once again offering a FREE photo book for NEW customers only.  You simply pay $8.99 for Shipping & Handling.  These books are great quality and their program is so easy to work with (one of my favorites!).  If you're interested, head here to register and download their program (it's completely safe).  Use coupon code FREECC during checkout to deduct the cost of a Classic, hard cover photo book!  Hurry - this code is good until March 22.  Don't miss out!

Picaboo: Invite Friends to Earn Picabucks

Picaboo, one of my favorite photobook website, primarily for their quality and readily available deals (plus, Groupon often offers great deals for Picaboo!), has just introduced a referral program.  So, if you are a member of picaboo or sign up now, you can invite friends to sign-up and receive a $10 referral credit for every one that does.  Use these towards your photo-books (which make great gifts!).  What a great idea, Picaboo!

Picaboo: 65% off photo books for new customers

If you have previously taken advantage of a Groupon offer for Picaboo photo books but have yet to order anything from them (or didn't do a Groupon but want to try them out), Picaboo is offering 65% off any photo book to new customers only.  Just use the code PICA65 at checkout to receive your discount:

• $10.50 for a 20 page Hardcover Classic Linen book

Picaboo: 40% off

I told you I'd share Picaboo deals with you in case you took advantage of the latest Groupon (or have been hesitant in the past - perhaps this will change your mind for next time ;) ).  So, here's what graced my inbox this morning:

Groupon

A website I'm rather new to, but I'm enjoying thus far, is a daily deals website.  There are multiple and I'll introduce the others in time.  The essence of these websites is to offer one deal each day for products and services in various regions to promote the company offering the deal and to allow us, the customers, to experience what they have to offer at a severely discounted price.

Typically you'll be more interested in the deals for your given region but occasionally one region's deal for the day will be an on-line offer.  On these days anyone across the country can take advantage because you can redeem the vouchers on-line (rather than at a physical location).

When doing an off-line deal through Groupon, you may print your Groupon from your account and use it at the given location as you would any other coupon.  Be sure to pay attention to limitations - some Groupons have an entire year before they expire, for others it's just a month or two.  You can always see this information on the Groupon page before you decide to purchase.

These deals are typically only good for the day they're offered, so if you're interested, you better hurry!

Any questions about Groupon?  Just ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability!
