1. Calabar Imports' Website Relaunches for 2008 Holiday Season.

This Fall, we took some time to relaunch our website and have gotten a good number of products back in stock. Our site, http://www.calabar-imports.com, uses Yahoo Store Template with some modifications. Our choice of Yahoo is in keeping with what works for small businesses and the ability to update our site ourselves. We thought it is important to share this with you. As always, please refer and recommend our site to your friends and colleagues.

2. DESTINATION BROOKLYN: Black Brooklyn Cultural Tours
Launches to Combat Recession and the Economic Meltdown for Small Black Businesses in Brooklyn

On Saturday, December 20, from 10am – 6pm, a simple old-fashion cultural tour bus tour will navigate Brooklyn ’s five neighborhoods and seven avenues in an effort to combat recession and the economic meltdown for black businesses. Calabar Imports and Sole Sublime Spa joined forces to collaborate to promote Brooklyn as a place to eat, live, work, and shop with a focus on five neighborhoods and Black (African American, African, and Caribbean) businesses, sites and cultural institutions in Bedford Stuyvesant; Fort Greene; Clinton Hills; Prospect Heights; Flatbush; and Crown Heights. DESTINATION BROOKLYN: Black Brooklyn Culture Tours is an initiative to bring more visitors into these neighborhoods, give more exposure to these business and selective avenues where there are a cluster of black businesses as well as a larger marketing model for business collaboration in Brooklyn . The tour will cost about $40.
