Embrace Your Soul With Flowers
by: Linda Gray
Be nice to yourself and indulge in one of nature's awesome
creations. It's true we don't actually NEED flowers in our
daily schedules BUT since when did humans stick to what they
needed!
Giving a gift of flowers is always a thoughtful, if not
provocative, experience and is a gift that is definitely not
about money. A large bouquet from the local florist will no
doubt be beautiful and well worth the cash it costs. And
equally, the small bouquet of wildflowers lovingly collected
by an adored one will bring joy into your life.
Sprays of dried flowers and grasses can make beautiful
displays in your home over holiday seasons, or why not
everyday?
Flowers are pressed into scrapbooks and journals. They are
also pressed for their scent and many perfumes are
flower-based. Oils are extracted for natural remedies and
cosmetic applications.
Flower preparations can be time-consuming to produce and
therefore often expensive to the consumer. The absolute best
way round this is to go directly to the source and Grow your
own!
It doesn't matter what month it is or what the weather's
playing at. You can still plan your flower garden. The choice
of flowers, plants and herbs available is so extraordinary,
you may as well start planning straight away!
Your flower garden can include all kinds of practical plants
as well as looking gorgeous...
Herbs attract the nice guys in the bug world which in
turn helps rid your flower bed of the pests! Thyme flowers are
so delicate and beautiful they really shouldn't be allowed!
Edible flowers include marigolds, nasturtiums and even
some roses. NB: double check on edible -ility before you pop a
plant in your mouth!
Decide on themes, colours, scents and set about choosing your
favourite blooms.
A beautiful flower display takes a lot of careful planning -
or alternatively you could buy a wildflower mix and scatter
the seed randomly. Nature is often it's own favourite artist!
If you're still not convinced, browse through a few gardening
catalogues. Wake up and smell the flowers - you won't remember
how you lived without them!

New Ideas For Small Business Holiday Marketing
New Ideas For Small Business Holiday Marketing
by: J D Moore
2 seconds after Halloween it seems that all the retail stores put up their Christmas decorations - trying to capture as much of the Holiday market as possible. Typical ways that retail stores use to capitalize on the holidays include extended hours and sales. This is all well and good. Today I want to give you an early present by giving you some novel ways to think about holiday promotions.
Many people are fed up with holiday crowds, which is reflected in the growth of online sales and the decline of some traditional retailer's sales. There also seems to be a trend towards buying fewer gifts, but those gifts tend to be higher-ticket luxury items.
In the type of marketing we all should be doing ,we start with the customer in mind.
What do we know about people this time of year?
- Time is a commodity - there's too much to do and too little time. - People have more...

God Bless The Refrigerator Magnet!
God Bless The Refrigerator Magnet!
by: Kirk Otto
Ah, my very favorite promotional product of all, the refrigerator magnet.
They are my favorite, because they are so extremely inexpensive, and extremely effective in getting your company name seen in countless locations.
They don?t make the greatest commission for a salesman of advertising specialties, but I can?t stop myself from recommending these little beauties first and foremost to my new customers and prospects.
And the reason is so simple.
They WORK!
I?ve yet to approach anyone in any kind of business where I don?t feel that a refrigerator magnet will be effective advertising.
Granted, some are more suited than others, but I still maintain that they?d be of use to any business.
Domino's Pizza is notorious for giving out a magnet with deliveries that includes their logo and the phone number of the local store.
I worked for Domino?s...
