December 2016: Issue 52
Greetings!
 

Now's the best time to take a deep breath and remember, as fondly as we can, the events that shaped us in 2016.

Seems as though only a short while ago we were watching the Olympics. Then suddenly the Cubs win the World Series. It's been that kind of year.

Wherever next year takes you, we wish you all the best in health and happiness.

Happy Holidays!

Making Holiday gift purchases? Are you and your customers familiar with Purchase Security, also known as Purchase Protection?

We're guessing your answer is "yes."

So is cbsi's Megan Delaney.

Megan was recently interviewed for an article specifically on the topic.

We LOVE Our Customers (and they seem to like us too!)
Sharing good news is always a good thing. This time of year, that seems even more important. Recently, we received a great "Thank You" letter from a customer.

We thought sharing with you this feel-good story was perfect for the Holidays.

Enjoy HERE!

(The image will make more sense when you read the letter ...)
