Have You Talked to Your Plants Today?

April 13^th is International Plant Appreciation Day. Plants are vital to our lives. Without them we wouldn’t have coffee, tea, paper, T-shirts or flour for baking. I’m growing some daffodils, freesias and tulips. Having fun just watching the leaves sprout from the dirt. And I’m not one of those green thumb types. I’ve killed cactus in the past…more like a black thumb. But I’ve come to appreciate plants. Remind your customers how important plants our by sending them a gift of a flower, plant or tree or even a packet of seeds.

Believe It Or Not Marketing

March 1, 1949 the TV show Believe It Or Not first aired. I remember reading a book when I was a preteen about Robert Ripley’s collection of oddities from around the world. The guy with 4 eyes – two pupils in each eye always fascinated and unnerved me. My Mom loves to watch the show when it airs locally on the Sci Fi channel.

Have any unusual business facts you can use in your marketing? Do you or your employees have any curiosities or unique collections to get your prospects attention? Maybe you can get customers to participate by supplying their own believe it or not stories. Then provide a prize to the customer with the most unusual story for people to believe or not.

Let me know if I can believe your results or not.
