Christmas Book Tokens

Quote from PD James - Author :

"One of the main problems at Christmas is finding suitable presents and all too often we spend time and money on gifts which are neither needed nor particularly wanted. The one present which I have found is always the pleasure of personal choice, the certainty of satisfaction, is easy to send and convenient to buy. In particular children love Book Tokens because of the fun of choice, and so no present is more useful for instilling a love of books and for teaching children that a bookshop is not intimidating but a place of pure pleasure".

Success Built On Service !

'YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FUTURE'

Here are the 2 very latest customer testimonials for our Bookshop Gift Tokens service:

We decided to buy our Theatre Tokens from you because we knew that we could trust and rely on a Bookshop to deliver! Vouchers now received, thank you, it has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Grace & Peter Cawthorne - Carlisle

(2nd July 2011)


I am writing to thank you for your email explaining to me why Amazon do not accept National Book Tokens. Now you have made me aware that UK Book Tokens are a scheme to get people into Bookshops, this makes sense as I know Amazon are not a real Bookshop, just a global megastore. I was though surprised to learn from you that Amazon are not members of the Booksellers Association and that this is actually the main criteria for a Bookseller being able to accept Book Token Cards as payment. It has been a real pleasure to deal with you and from now on I will not attempt to use my Book Tokens anywhere else other than the First Bookshop! Keep up all the good work guys because I am disabled. Now I have discovered you and your free delivery I'll be back!

FACEBOOK

You may have wondered why we are not on facebook?
That site is on a downward trend, with 100,000 members now leaving monthly in the UK alone! Facebook attracts fraud, also identity theft and as we are a company turning over a very large income, we have to try and restrict our exposure to potential fraudsters. Criminals are also targeting profiles more than ever, for various other reasons. If you are still registered as one of their declining number of users, please be very careful, as the situation will only worsen even further as time goes on. You have been warned!!

Facebook users have been fairly unhappy with the social media site for a while now. Last year, it scored "in the bottom 5% of all measured private sector companies and in the same range as airlines and cable companies, two perennially low-scoring industries with terrible customer satisfaction," according to the July 2010 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) E-Business Report.

Perhaps the new social network GOOGLE+ just launced, will soon replace the beleaguered site that you all once loved?

You’ll be welcomed in a friendly atmosphere and discover the small changes you can make – from making wise food choices to becoming more active.
Each week you’ll have a confidential weigh-in and track your progress.
You’ll be able to share what works with other members and stay motivated as you move towards your weight loss goals. A member from one of Martin's previous meetings has now lost a total of 11stone!
Who leads the meetings:
Your managing consultant is Martin Crossland, who has also lost weight - this is now over 6 stone.
He will lead the meetings and guide you through all choices you have with the new
WINNERS PLAN
The solutions you discover together will help you reach your weight-loss goals. Each week you will receive new tips to help you follow the programme.

Launching Saturday 15th January 2011:
Planning to take that first step? Then come along to Martin's new Saturday morning Bridlington meeting 10.30am at The Seabirds, Fortyfoot, YO16 7RX. In addition, starting Friday 4th February at 3.30pm, a meeting during the week at the Havenfield Community Centre, The Hinge Group, 21 Field Road, Bridlington YO16 4AU plus coming soon, a further weekly meeting to be held at the Honeysuckle Centre, 7 Scarborough Road, Bridlington YO16 7PJ, launch date to be announced later.

Martin's telephone number is 07793 680 821 and you can call him now for further details about these exciting developments which start on 15th January 2011.
'I will be with you every step of the way, knowing that healthy long-term weight loss is within everyone's reach & that you can attain your desired weight'
Our programme is healthy, well-balanced and interesting, gives you plenty to eat and fits in with your lifestyle. It can also include all your favourite foods, then gradually increase the amount of exercise you enjoy to fit in with your way of life. Think about what you might need to change in your long-term behaviour by using some practical recommended strategies. Get lots of support, encouragement and motivation all along the way, not just from me but from other members too.
Martin your meeting manager will be there for you at all times and all the way to your goal weight celebrations!
