Marketing YOU During the Holidays

The Holiday Season provides us with many opportunities to have some fun with our marketing and prospecting. I realize that some may feel that this is the time of year to “give it a rest,” but there are unique opportunities that exist at this time of year that should not be ignored.

Like this post I wrote last year –

Your Neighbors are Begging You to Stop By – Will You Miss the Opportunity

Here is an idea I am going to try on Christmas Eve. I am going to go to the Starbucks nearest my farm and buy a $100 gift card. Then I am going to give it to the cashier along with 40 business cards and tell the cashier that I am buying coffee for however many people it takes to blow through the $100. Only drinks – no pastries or coffee beans or gifts.

“Common sense is instinct. Enough of it is genius.” – George Bernard Shaw.

I’m not sure I have much of either, but what the heck, have some fun with the Holidays.
