SOLVING THE SWEETEST DAY GIFT DILEMMA
Better than a traditional greeting card or box of candy. Two Cleveland
entrepreneurs create a fun, unique & low-cost alternative to
Sweetest Day gift giving.
Cleveland, OH – August 2006 – Sweetest Day observance
originated in Cleveland in 1922. Herbert Birch Kingston, a philanthropist
and candy company employee wanted to bring happiness into the lives
of orphans, shut-ins and others who were forgotten. Today, Sweetest
Day has evolved into a time to express romantic love and also to show
appreciation to friends, mostly celebrated in cities around the Great
Lakes.
As coincidence may have it, over 80-years later, two modern day
Cleveland-born entrepreneurs have worked to create a unique Sweetest
Day gift giving idea that would make Mr. Kingston proud.
Jim Kukral and Dave Potokar, founders of the Awesome Million (www.awesomemillion.com)
exclusive online club, have created the perfect gift alternative
for Sweetest Day practitioners who want more to give than a traditional
greeting card. For the low cost of $1.00, Sweetest Day followers
can purchase a special online Sweetest Day certificate that certifies
their sweetie as “really awesome”. Example here: http://angelinajolie.isreallyawesome.com.
(Substitute your sweeties name in place of AngelinaJolie).
“It’s better than an ecard, or even a regular card,”
said Jim Kukral, one of the club’s co-founders. “Our
special Sweetest Day online certificate is the perfect personalized
alternative gift choice for anyone who celebrates this unique holiday.
If you’ve got 1-minute and $1.00, you can avoid a trip to
the Hallmark store by making your sweetie really awesome through
our online system.”
This one-of-a-kind online certificate also comes with a custom
domain name for your sweetie. For example, http://angelinajolie.isreallyawesome.com.
(Substitute your sweeties name in place of AngelinaJolie). Once
purchased, gift givers can then upload a photo of their sweetie
to add onto the certificate making it even more personal.
“It’s better than a card because it’s personalized,”
said Dave Potokar, company co-founder. “Plus, if you waited
until the last minute, you can make someone really awesome in our
system in less than 1-minute. Just create your sweeties certificate
page, upload a picture, then either email them the URL or print
it out and present it to them in person.”
