We’ve decided that this will be the year in which GraphicMail has a Valentine.  So, instead of joining in the online dating scene, we decided to make use of Facebook and Twitter to find one!

The GraphicMail Valentine will receive a $150 Amazon voucher – to buy books, music or even a Kindle; whatever your heart desires!

What you can do to be our Valentine!
As of Wednesday 9th February we’ll be posting the call for the GraphicMail Valentine through our Facebook page and Twitter account.  All you have to do to enter is spread the word about our Valentine hunt.

If you’re on Twitter: As of Wednesday you’ll see us tweeting this:  "We're looking for our Valentine - retweet this and it could be you! $150 Amazon voucher up for grabs. http://bit.ly/GMVsocial" Simply retweet this tweet when you see it!
If you’re on Facebook:  See the share button at the bottom of this post?  Just click on it and a link to this call out will appear on your profile.

Every time you retweet or share this call-out, it'll count as an entry.  It’s really easy to enter and you could be the lucky Valentine to receive a $150 Amazong gift voucher from us!  The competition will close at 5pm PST on Monday 14th February.

*Note:  Our usual Wednesday Winner quiz will fall away.

We also have other promotional goodies to give away; read more about our Valentine’s promotion here.

GraphicMail will be dishing out some love this Valentine’s Day – here’s what to expect:

Follow us on Facebook or Twitter?  Watch out as we hunt for our own GraphicMail Valentine. Simply repost our own Tweets or Facebook updates and you could win the draw to be our Valentine.  Our Valentine will receive a $100 Amazon gift voucher! Bet you could put that to good use.

If you don’t follow us already, you can find us on Facebook, and on Twitter.

Trial users who sign up to paid account* will also get double the love (send credits) if they sign up before the end of February.

*This excludes Reseller or Corporate accounts.

New templates for all:  As always, we also have some brand new Valentine’s Day templates so GraphicMailers can send out their newsletters in style.

Enjoy the month of lovin’!
