Educents Needs Your Votes!

Here's How:
Please check out then vote for this up and coming educational discount supply site by reading and following the directions below:

"You have supported us since our inception, encouraged us through our launch and
you cheer with us as we continue to grow. This may sound like a crazy dream but
being the small business we are, we are daring to dream BIG. And as always, we
need you.

Educents is competing in a promotion by Intuit called Small Business Big Game,
and the winning company gets their own Super Bowl TV commercial to be aired
during the Big Game in February, 2014.

But to make it to the next round of the contest, we need your votes.

We’ve got until this Sunday, September 22, at midnight (PST) to invite you, our
colleagues, friends, family, teachers, parents and anyone we know, to vote for
our entry every day from now through Sunday.

Voting couldn’t be simpler. Here’s how you vote:
Click on this link http://intuit.me/15idjj6 and then click on the yellow button
that says “Vote for us.”

Boom. You’re done… until tomorrow when you get to vote again.

So here’s what we’re asking you to do:

1. Vote every day.
2. Forward this email to people you know and ask them to vote for Educents.
3. Post this link on Facebook and invite your social media friends to vote for
us daily through Sunday."

(portion above from a correspondence)
Please consider checking out this small business and help by voting!
Thanks :-)
