fidipidi Offers Promotion to Encourage Support for Our Troops

Just in time for Fourth of July, fidipidi, a new Facebook App that allows you to create and send physical greeting cards from your computer, is providing a special offer to make it easy to show your support for the troops.  Now through July 9th, when you purchase one of fidipidi’s dozen new patriotic cards, you will receive another card free. Since fidipidi is fully integrated with Facebook, you can also take advantage of those features, such as pulling in friends’ photos, to make your card even more personal.

I encourage you to:

• Check out the service at www.facebook.com/fidipidi
• Purchase your patriotic card and get another one for free with the offer code “MILITARY” (If you order two Patriotic cards on a single order, you will receive two free cards.)
• See a quick overview of how it works at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWDxp9QuN7A
