MAY IS FAN APPRECIATION MONTH AT THE MARTINA STORE!

Well it sounds like Tee-Cee has finally caught the Easter Bunny and those four lucky rabbits feet are going to be very lucky for all of you fan club members!  For the month of May the 15% Fan Club Discount will be raised to 25% ON ALL ORDERS!!

This is an awesome deal and another great reason to join Martina's fan club if you haven't already!  New members also get a $10 sign-up bonus that can be used with this discount.  So, let's do the math.. Say you wanted to spend $100 in the Martina store.  A fan club membership is $20 so that $100 order now becomes a $75 order with the 25% discount, then you add the $10 bonus and you're at $65!  That's still a savings of $15 on the $100 with a fan club membership thrown in!!  You just can't beat that.

Tee-Cee will also be picking out two orders a day and including a free Martina CD with the purchase.  It'll be random and can be any Martina CD!!  This offer available to both Fan Club Members and Non-Members alike!!

So be sure to check out the Martina Store now and check back often for the very best deals.

2. Request the latest video on CMT and GAC
3. Follow Martina on Twitter and retweet the messages
4. Promote Shine in your signature on web forums
5. Tell a friend and ask them to do the same
6. Write a review at Amazon.com or other stores / review sites

8. Embed Martina songs or videos on your blog or social network.

All of these things can help.  If you have any other ideas, feel free to send me an e-mail!

Hello everyone and a very happy Memorial Day.  First let me express our gratitude to all the men and women of the armed forces.  You guys are absolutely awesome and I find it hard to put that into words.  Thank you so much for doing what you do, for protecting our freedoms and fighting for what is just in this world.  We appreciate and are humbled by the sacrifices that you make in the call of duty.

The new single is starting to move up the charts and with your help we can get it up into the top ten and beyond!  Call your local stations and request, and if you haven't already turn a friend on to Martina's music!  It may be a big, crazy industry and it does all start with a song but then it's in your hands.  You fans make or a break every song that is out there so let's make "I Just Call You Mine" a huge hit!!

Take care,
Darren - Webmaster of Martina-McBride.com
