All Romance eBooks Celebrates Four Years of Business by Making its Customers' Wishes Come True

As the anniversary of their fourth year as a digital retailer of eBooks approaches, All Romance eBooks proves they can still surprise their customers. The announcement of t heir Anniversary Contest was delivered by the company's newly hired Community Manager, Kathryn Lively, and came beautifully wrapped in a brand new site design.

Palm Harbor, FL (Vocus) October 28, 2010

Kathryn Lively, the newest addition to the All Romance eBooks (ARe) team, announced the company's upcoming Anniversary Contest (http://allromanceebooks.com). Starting on November 1st and continuing for the entire month of November one shopper per day will win all of the books on their wish list (up to a value of $100).

"It's our anniversary, but we're making our customers' wishes come true. As a community, we have a lot to celebrate!" said Lively, whose twenty years of experience in the publishing industry has spanned the roles of author, editor, publisher, bookseller, marketing specialist, and will now include Community Manager for the ARe Cafe.

The ARe Cafe tab appeared on the company's website earlier this month with the launch of a new design that unifies the All Romance, OmniLit, and ARe brands and offers several significant enhancements. Customers can now enjoy additional library features, search features, and the option to safely store payment information and make purchases with one click of the Buy Now button. They can also share their e-Book finds on all the popular social networking sites with easy-to-use "Like-and-Share buttons.

Although the home page for the Cafe invites booklovers to "Stop by for a byte" when it opens this winter, what will be in store for them when they do has yet to be fully revealed. "I had the chance to preview the entire site design a few months ago. As soon as I saw what was in store, I knew I wanted to sign on for the Cafe project," Lively said. "I'm very excited to be a part of the ARe team."

Lori James, Chief Operating Officer, hinted at the Cafe's purpose. "The unifying characteristic of the ARe co mmunity is that we love digital books (http://allromance.com). We love reading eBooks, talking about eBooks, and sharing recommendations. The Cafe will offer readers a place to do that, and a whole lot more."
