WeddingToasts.com Website an e-Commerce Success
VANCOUVER – People asked to emcee
or make a toast at a wedding can now access and download
a best-selling book on the subject by logging onto
www.WeddingToasts.com.
“The Wedding MC: A Complete Guide
to Success for the Best Man or Event Host”
is available through the site for a cost of $9.95
US. Written by Vancouver communications consultant
Tom Haibeck, the book offers step by step advice on
how to plan and emcee a wedding reception, tips on
how to write and deliver an effective wedding toast,
direction for the Best Man plus a compendium of wedding-related
one-liners.
“The words “wedding” + “toast”
are two of the most frequently searched words on the
Internet, with some 40,000 inquires per month on Google,”
said Haibeck. “It just shows that the Internet
has quickly become the information resource of choice
for people.”
The book’s subject matter also lends itself
to impulse buys. “When I first began selling
the book fifteen years ago through bridal magazines
and wedding shows, people would call me at all hours
and beg me to express-ship them a copy of the book
because they had to emcee a wedding that weekend,”
said Haibeck. “Speaking at a wedding can be
incredibly traumatic for people, and most of us leave
that kind of preparation to the last minute. Now they
can download the book instantly to their computers.”
The WeddingToasts.com website attracts over 1 million
visitors per year and has generated sales of more
than 5,000 copies of the e-Book to customers from
all over the United States and Canada. Other orders
have come from England, Australia, New Zealand, India,
Bahrain, South Africa, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
The online purchasing program is powered by ClickBank,
one of the world’s leading providers of secure,
electronic banking services for e-Books.
The hardcopy version of The Wedding MC
handbook was first published in 1990 and has become
a Canadian best-seller, with over 75,000 copies now
in print. It’s available in major bookstores
across Canada, and the seventh edition of the book
is now being shipped to retail bookstores throughout
the United States.
The information contained in the book was gleaned
from Haibeck’s experience in helping to plan
and emcee hundreds of weddings, meetings and special
events over the past 20+ years. Publishing the book
has changed his life in many ways – including
his new love for e-mail.
“Every time I sell a book online, I get an
e-mail notification from ClickBank. I’m still
amazed every time I sell a book to someone clear across
the world,” said Haibeck. “And thankfully,
I don’t get anymore of those late night calls
from panicked emcees.”
