Poetry Occasions is already one of, if not the cheapest personalised poetry site on the net, but site owner Liam Bailey said: "I believe that a personalised poem is the most special gift you can give, it is like gift-wrapping your feelings for a loved one. Even just a small verse can convey so much love and really make a card special. Never is it more important to let a loved one know you love them and that they are in your thoughts as when they are risking their lives daily in a far-off war zone."
This new domain is a Christmas promotion to begin with, but may become permanent depending on usage. Even if the war domain is removed, war families will simply be able to order by phone or email to receive their discounted prices.
Of course, in this day and age, some sort of proof will be necessary that the poem is indeed for a loved one currently in Iraq or Afghanistan. Something like a photographed envelope postmark or a dated photograph of the soldier in question will suffice. Liam Bailey added: "I realize that it is pretty close to Christmas and families will need to be sharp in order to get the verses or poems to their loved ones, but a gift or verse this special will have been worth the wait should it arrive late, and most families will already have sent out their Christmas gifts and card, a poem will just be an excellent extra."
Things are changing fast at Poetry Occasions, watch this space because this will not be the last big announcement this year. Liam Bailey told me that he is considering the possibility of a line of personalised cards encapsulating his verses, there will almost certainly be an extension of the backgrounds and borders available to choose from on the site. In a planned new system, customers will select their location, either UK or non UK as they do now, but then they will go onto a background/border selection page, where they then click their choice to proceed. Watch this space.
