Discount for Military Families at Poetry Occasions

New personalised poetry website Poetry Occasions launched a new War families Dec. Poetry section 10, where the wives and families of soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan will be able to purchase gift poems to send to their loved ones in the war zones at a 15% discounted price, card verses will receive a 20% discount, in the run-up to Christmas. After Christmas a discount of 10% on gift poems and card verses will remain in place until the wars end.

Poetry Occasions is already one of, if not the cheapest personalised poetry site on the net, but site owner Liam Bailey said: "I believe that a personalised poem is the most special gift you can give, it is like gift-wrapping your feelings for a loved one. Even just a small verse can convey so much love and really make a card special. Never is it more important to let a loved one know you love them and that they are in your thoughts as when they are risking their lives daily in a far-off war zone."

This new domain is a Christmas promotion to begin with, but may become permanent depending on usage. Even if the war domain is removed, war families will simply be able to order by phone or email to receive their discounted prices.

Of course, in this day and age, some sort of proof will be necessary that the poem is indeed for a loved one currently in Iraq or Afghanistan. Something like a photographed envelope postmark or a dated photograph of the soldier in question will suffice. Liam Bailey added: "I realize that it is pretty close to Christmas and families will need to be sharp in order to get the verses or poems to their loved ones, but a gift or verse this special will have been worth the wait should it arrive late, and most families will already have sent out their Christmas gifts and card, a poem will just be an excellent extra."

Things are changing fast at Poetry Occasions, watch this space because this will not be the last big announcement this year. Liam Bailey told me that he is considering the possibility of a line of personalised cards encapsulating his verses, there will almost certainly be an extension of the backgrounds and borders available to choose from on the site. In a planned new system, customers will select their location, either UK or non UK as they do now, but then they will go onto a background/border selection page, where they then click their choice to proceed.

About Poetry Occasions

Poetry Occasions is a breath of fresh air in the personalised gift and card market, not least in the fact that the prices are by far lower than any of the competition. The samples available on the site show that the lower prices are not because the quality is any lower.

Poetry Occasions Gets a Christmas Make-Over

Those of you that have visited the personalised poetry site Poetry Occasions will hardly recognise it on a return visit from November 30 onwards. November thirty saw the heavyset top bar gone, to be replaced by a lighter and brighter top link bar, which really sets off the vibrant new look. Proprietor and builder of Poetry Occasions Liam Bailey said:

"I am new to website building and learning all the time. I am extremely happy with my second and final attempt. Since I launched the site November 5th I have learned a copious amount (enough to get by anyway) of PHP scripting language and brushed up my html skills, when I was confident I had learned enough to redesign and build my site I hit the drawing board. I am confident that users will be impressed by the site and its new look."

Equally as impressive is the way it works. Poetry Occasions is now split into only four sections, Seasonal, which is currently Christmas Poetry, Love Poetry, Card Verses, all of which are introduced in style on the front page, and Gift Poetry is linked from the top bar. Love poetry and Christmas poetry are unique in that you can select a four verse gift poem or a card verse on the same page.

The new design let's users select their product, be it a 4 line card verse for £0.50 or a 4 verse gift poem for £10.00, they are then directed to the right form to input the information for use in the poem, before then going on to pay for their poem. Those of you who have visited the site will wonder how the number of pages could be chopped so drastically, simple: occasion is now one of the things customers input on the form, users directed to the form from the Christmas poetry page will find the occasion box already filled out for them. Also new is the option to pay for your poem by post and a testimonials page.

More changes come in the form of the new Poetry Occasions blog to display media coverage and Liam Bailey poetry, and a picture gallery feature is also in the pipeline.

Because Christmas shopping can often be stressful, Liam just wanted his customers to be able to find what they were looking for a little easier, and to give his site a fresher feel at the same time. Time will be the greatest judge of whether or not he succeeded.

New Website Solves Christmas Gift Nightmares

If not already then pretty soon you will be racking your brains for what to get loved ones as an extra special Christmas gift: what hasn't she got - or, what can I get my Gran, she's got everything. A brand new website by published poet and story-write Liam Bailey might just be the answer to all your prayers: Poetry Occasions, where you can buy a personalised 3-4 verse poem, well presented on A4 paper, white, the colour of your choice or with a variety of backgrounds, and completed in a high quality frame for £12.50 including postage and packing.

Liam Bailey says "we never get the chance to tell loved ones how much they mean to us, but a poem lets us do that in an excellent way. I can say from personal experience that a framed personalised poem is the best gift you can give."

Not many people have them, and even if they do each one is different and because it is written based on the information you provide it is an extra special gift from you to your loved one, a gift that no one else could have given them. To quote Liam Bailey: "it's like giving someone all your love, wrapped in wrapping paper on Christmas morning."

Now surely that's worth £12.50. Also on offer at poetry-occasions.co.uk are personalised card verses, which you receive by email to write into your card. They are available from as little as 50p for a small verse, £1.00 for a medium verse and £2.00 for a large verse.

Again they are written based on the information you give, which allows you to give an extra special card from you to your loved one.

Card verses and gift poems are available for every occasion possible. But who says there needs to be an occasion to give a loved one a gift, especially love poetry, which is an excellent romantic gift for any day of the year, and may or may not be used to get you out of the dog house. There is a page dedicated to love poetry, from where you can purchase framed love poems or small verses to do what you like with - inevitably get brownie points as the last romantic.

Speaking of getting you out of the dog house my card verses can easily be written onto flower cards.

Life Changing Babies

When your baby's born,
Your life will never be the same.
Priorities won't be torn.
Number one now has a name.

Right away you'd give your life
To stop them feeling pain
Like a glow shared with your wife,
The special bond you gain.

I'm not saying it's a piece of cake,
When he just won't go to sleep.
But it's the easiest of rough to take
For the benefits you reap.

To say a glow is slightly wrong
For such indescribable joy.
An emotion so strong that I nearly fainted,
The first time I saw my wee boy.
