You Can’t Stop Reading This Book May 6, 2013

As I mentioned last week, Susanna’s holding a contest to coincide with the e-launch of Can’t Sleep Without Sheep . . . tomorrow!
What d’ya bet Susanna’s too excited to sleep tonight?
For the contest, she asked us to write an advertising jingle designed to make readers tingle with anticipation.
The winners get prizes!
Cool prizes!
If you’re too tired to write a jingle because you suffer from insomnia, or feel there is too much jingling in the world, you can win prizes for tweeting about the book this week. Details HERE!
There’s also a coloring contest for kids.
Yes! There’s still time to get in on the FUN.
Here’s my jingle, sung to the tune of Swagger Jagger:

You can’t stop reading this book

You can’t stop reading this book

You can’t stop counting those sheep
Counting those sheep
Counting those sheep
You can’t stop counting those sheep
So get a copy now
Can’t sleep without sheep
Can’t. Can’t.
Can’t sleep without sheep
(B)Aah . . . that’s better!

Sweet book and I love the jingle Nancy! Good Luck!!!
Thanks, Pix. This commercial makes me smile. It seemed the perfect tune with just the right amount of swagger.
Awesome, Nancy! Clever and fun! And an accompanying video with a cow! I love it 🙂
Cows make for MOO~ving marketing! So do Lemurs ~ “I got to moo~ve it, moo~ve it. He’s got to moo~ve it!”
Once you have the link for the e-book, I’ll add it in.
Oh you got swagger fo’ sho’! Love this!
Thanks, Pamela! I must admit I’ve enjoyed singing this as I swagger about the house. 😛
This is tons of fun. I giggled as I watched and now I’ll be singing it the live long day. Great job!
Thanks, Robyn! Every time I see this commercial, it cracks me up.
I’m pysched to see all the FUN jingles spawned by Susanna’s contest.
Great jingle.
Thanks! This song always makes me smile. So does Susanna. It seemed a perfect FIT. 😀
Very fun! Perfect tune to pick 🙂
Thanks, Penny. I’ll swing by to see yours soon.
That is really funky, Nancy! Perfect jingle. I’ve never seen that commercial before, it’s super.
I figured that folks would get a kick out of that singing cow! Too bad it wasn’t a singing sheep.
Glad you had a chance to enter the contest. Good luck!
Great jingle, Nancy! Susanna is a super star when it comes to engineering contests. 🙂
Thanks, Vivian. Susanna is a superstar ~ her contests are always FUN with great PRIZES.
I like your jingle! And I think it’s great how you always support your author blogger friends 🙂
Thanks, Janna! I figure that writers who follow through the writing, editing, and publication phases deserve a SHOUT OUT when they enter the marketing arena!
And, of course, it’s easy to promote books like this one . . . FUN!

Funny! I love the lyrics!
Thanks! Susanna’s Jingle Contest (like all her contests) has been FUN. I plan to check out the rest of the submissions today.
Very nice, Nancy! You have also encouraged me to take a look at e-book. I think it might be something fun for the granddaughters. I haven’t really done much with e-books for them. They might get a kick out of that! 🙂
Thanks, Debra. Your granddaughters can take turns “turning the page.” 😀
I’m still laughing. Love your jingle – and thanks for including the video link…I did NOT know the swagger jagger…and now I won’t forget it. It was udderly fabulous. I just got my video posted this morn.
I still need to check out most of the other submissions. Hope to do that this afternoon. Thanks, Laura!
