Peru Paper Card Giveaway!

Peru Paper Company cards are currently listed on the Sweeps4Bloggers website! I sent some cards in for review, and three Spring Boxed Sets are going to be given away. The lady who runs the site, Valerie, wrote an amazing review of the products and company. Here's a little of what she said:

"Peru Paper is based in an impoverished neighborhood in Trujillo, Peru and gives women the opportunity to earn a livable wage in an area where unemployment and opportunities are scarce. And… the women don’t need to kiss their children goodbye and head off to a factory to work. Peru Paper allows them to work from home as their family schedules permit. The paper is made and the cards are assembled in their own homes! You can read more about these women and see photographs of the paper and card making process on their website....

The women put the cards together precisely. Mine look just like the ones in the picture. The texture of the brightly colored handmade paper is gorgeous. The boxed set would make a great gift as is or you can keep the cards for yourself and make 8 lucky recipients happy."

Check out the entire review here, and enter to win the cards yourself! She posted the instructions with the review, but basically, you write what your favorite card or aspect of the business is and post it to her review, and then you can have bonus entries by following Peru Paper (and Valerie) on facebook and twitter, and joining our newsletter. Let your friends know as well! This is a great way to spread the word about Peru Paper Company! There are other cool things being given away on the website as well...in fact, I might enter to win some of those. (Jason was looking at it last night and kept commenting on all the things he'd like to win.."oohh, a percolator.")
And one last thing, I found out about this through HARO (Help A Reporter Out). EVERYONE in small business (and most everyone else) should check this out and be on their lists. Amazing the exposure you can get through them. Thanks to Marianna at HALO Business advisers for letting me know about HARO!
