New: Your Recipients Can Now Save Photos!

July 29, 2008

Here’s a cool new feature - one of my personal favorites.  Did you know you can now truly share the photos in your Smilebox creations with your friends and family?  After viewing your emailed Smilebox they can simply click on the “Save Photos” link at the bottom left of their screen and select the image(s) they like and download directly to their hard drive.  It’s a great way to give your photos of the soccer game to other parents or pictures of the kids at summer camp to grandma.  And all delivered via email creatively wrapped in a Smilebox design!  Much cuter than a file attachment or a link to a web site, don’t you think? 

As always, your recipients don’t need to have Smilebox or register anywhere to view and download their photos.  (For privacy purposes, this feature is limited to only emailed Smileboxes and is not included on those creations posted to blogs.) 

So give the gift of memories - in a Smilebox!  We want to make sure this feature works for you, so please let us know what you think!

Our BlogHer ’08 Winners

July 28, 2008

Congrats to our two winning bloggers Busy Mom and Slackermama who won an Apple iPod iTouch and iPhone respectively at BlogHer ‘08.  Our contests at the conference were in celebration of our recent introduction of Smilebox for Mac.  These bloggers are just two of the many phenomenal women we met last week.  We’ve listed many of them who are now Smileboxers in our BlogHer ‘08 blogroll to the right.  Visit their blogs and laugh, cry and be amazed at these inspirational women.  Below is one last Smilebox featuring BlogHer ‘08 — photos from the closing reception in the shoe and lingerie departments of Macy’s!

Greetings from BlogHer ‘08

July 19, 2008

We’ve officially got our BlogHer on! It’s been a phenomenal event so far. It’s so nice to connect with women who are just like us — busy moms telling their stories online. We’ve been inspired, motivated and humbled all at the same time! Our feet are a little sore (but our shoes look cute!) and we’re ready for another day. We’ll keep you posted. Thanks Jory, Elise and Lisa for hosting such a great experience. Check out the live blogging here and our Smilebox recap below.

We’re On Our Way to BlogHer ’08!

July 17, 2008

The ladies of Smilebox - Joanne, Jenny and I - are headed to San Francisco for this week’s BlogHer ‘08 conference.  We’re leaving our kiddos behind (we’re part of the part-time mom contingent of employees at Smilebox) and are looking forward to a few days of learning new things and meeting our fellow bloggers (OK, and a little shoe shopping along the way). 

If you’re going to BlogHer, please stop by the Smilebox table in the Colonial room at the St. Francis and say “hi” - we’ll give you a complimentary premium subscription to Club Smilebox!  If you’re not familiar with BlogHer or its conferences, check it out at www.blogher.com.  They’re a great group women and we’re looking forward to fantastic time in the city by the bay. Stay tuned for reports directly from BlogHer!
