Ah, holidays.. can make fodder for a blog post. (I’m learning.)
Marketing a Holiday
Crass commercialization aside, holidays give you an opportunity to reach out to your customers.
- Special newsletters, postcard greeting, email campaign, phone or Skype call to check in before someone goes away on holiday break.
- Seasonal pricing, summer deals, unique products only available this time of year.
- Are there routine service calls that could be scheduled? Time for a review or update? Promote a mid-year check up.
The Long Weekend
Don’t you just love these?
This Fourth of July weekend is a great excuse to turn of the iToys and celebrate your digital independence for a few days. Enjoy your cookouts and ballgames, beaches and lakes. Maybe wave some flags, go see some big blockbuster (no scratch that, this one looks worse that the last), ooh and ahh at some fireworks.. pretty.
And for those tough enough to brave the Peachtree Road Race on Monday, I’ll think highly of you as I sleep late that morning. FWIW.
OK, I’m sneaking by to see how many of you have really unplugged:) Happy 4th of July to you all, from your Canadian friend. Cheers! Kaarina

Unplugging isn’t a rule Kaarina, plenty of folks including myself have trouble cutting the cord all together. I didn’t stay totally offline, I read news, email other stuff… just didn’t tweet or comment for a few days. 😉
Happy 4th to you Davina 🙂 Speaking of movies, I watch Transformers 3 yesterday and I’m going to change my son’s name to Prime 😉
Oh, and I just might be online this weekend….just a little 😉
Cheers,
Marcus

Ok Marcus, so I peeked and came online a little.. but I’ve been researching some vacay options for later this summer if that makes it better. 😉 Summers are good for movies, Super 8 was good, I liked the X-Men redo.. will go check out more I’m sure. Happy 4th.
Hello Davine.
Enjoy it when I get to your site.
As I have said before I like the layout, it’s good Feng shui, or mojo.
Nice post too, enjoy our National Day of collective remembering.
This is some country no matter what the morons are trying to turn it into.

Thank you Billy. There are parts of my design I like, few other things I want to update. Happy 4th to you too. 🙂
Davina I almost produced one of my famous line posts for you today. It was going to be something like: Name your five favorite movies or Five favorite albums.
Hope you have a great holiday.

Hee. My ‘weird’ post ended up generating a lot of answers; think it’s a blogging thing, just ask questions, get some answers and see where the discussion leads. Very smart Jack.. and thanks.
Sleeping in? What’s that? My son a/k/a The Human Alarm Clock wakes Mommy at pretty ungodly hours (before six some days)
Will I tweet? Probably. Unless my boyfriend has me “unplug” which he does to me from time to time. It really sucks that I get up and check Twitter in the middle of the night. (sigh)
Happy 4th Davina.

Sleeping ‘in’ will vary.. and for a night person like myself, it’s a total treat Nancy to catch up on some much needed rest. Tweeting.. I’ll check maybe later tonight.. sneak a look here and there but really.. I’m fine taking a little break. Enjoy your weekend.
Happy 4th ma’am and yes I plan on being virtually tech free……….
I might or might not sleep in on Monday as I have a friend who wants to play golf early; but maybe he won’t call, huh?
See you soon.

Hopefully you won’t catch me blogging or tweeting this weekend Bill. And that Monday morning sleep-in.. already looking forward to it. 🙂
