Bramble Berry is tossing its hat into the ring with hopes of becoming the grateful recipient of a FedEx Small Business Grant. I know your next question – what would you use the grant money for?
VIRTUAL. SOAP. UNIVERSITY. You read that right. We’ve been listening to your requests for more soap making classes in more locations, but were stumped as to how to fulfill those wishes without cloning me. Thus, the concept of a virtual soap university was born! But, like the infomercial says, that’s not all! We’d like to take it one step further and use the platform to teach all things small business. There’s a need for free, practical, been-there, done-that business advice and experience sharing. In my dream university platform, we’d have virtual classrooms, pre-recorded and live talks and helpful forums and threaded conversations – all to help empower small business owners to reach that next level. Soap + Business sounds super dreamy and inspiring to me; I hope it does to you too. Psst: if it does, vote for us once a day here.
Would you like to be able to attend a soap making class without having to travel? Help Bramble Berry to make Soap University a reality by placing your vote here. It’s easy to vote if you have a Facebook account. No silly forms to sign up for. Just sign into Facebook and vote. Voting is currently open and the deadline for votes is November 24th. Here’s the best part: you can vote once a day, every day until voting closes! Thank you for your support and confidence in us =)
PS: Want to email all your friends and tell them about this cool opportunity to help us out? You can do it with this short, easy link that goes directly to our page: http://j.mp/V9hNnz
Perhaps there’s another way your loyal readership could assist you, without having Facebook accounts. You’ve posted a link for people to use in emailing their friends. They can also add a line to their signature in any forums they participate in, or request a vote for you when commenting on other blogs.
I don’t have a FB account either (too intrusive!).
Thanks for the suggestion, Charleen! We are still waiting on FedEx to see if there is any other way our customers can vote for us. We will keep you updated if we hear anything back. 🙂

I want to vote for you but I also don’t want a Facebook account. Is there another way to vote?
Unfortunately at this time, Facebook is the only option to vote with. If we find another option, we will let you know. 🙂
-Becky with Bramble Berry
P.S. We are contacting FedEx to see if there is a way to vote without Facebook!
You bet!! To any small business owner the chance to learn everything is always essential to success. It’s the every day aspect that I’ll have to work on but I’ll try!

My dilemma is the same as Bess’ – no Facebook. Isn’t there some other way to vote?
Unfortunately at this time, Facebook is the only option to vote with! We wish there was another way.

I wish I could vote for you! Unfortunately, FedEx requires signing in through Facebook for voting, and I don’t have and refuse to get a Facebook account.
Hi Bess! We have actually contacted FedEx to see if there is any other way to vote without having a Facebook account, we will keep you updated. 🙂
