1. Happy Holidays

It's one of my favorite times of year. I hope it's yours,
too. It snowed here yesterday, accumulating about 8 inches,
so now it really looks like Christmas.

I want to wish you a very happy holiday season and a
prosperous new year! Here's a gift from me to you. Buy
anything from me from now until Monday, December 8, at
midnight Eastern and I'll give you 50% off! Use this coupon
to take advantage of my happy spirit:

2. Quote of the Week

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

3. A Little Marketing Fun


If you know me, you know I LOVE snow globes. Here's one for
you to enjoy. Plus, it's another example of a great viral
marketing campaign. Turn up your speakers and listen. And
after you listen for awhile, don't forget to shake the
globe to make the snow fall. Thanks to Dick Cook at
http://www.norfolkwholesalefloral.com for sending it to
me.
