Part Deux...of Things we will all think to ourselves!
In honour of all those who have kept us from enjoying ourselves over the Holidays of the past...these last 5 points are for you! 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're View more -
Things we will all think to ourselves this Holiday!
I hate aspects of this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced frivolity, but because it's the season when the food police come out with their wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without gaining 10 pounds. Assembled are five of the top ten points we have to say about that...1. About those carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it View more
Are you ready to get started?
Gratitude means many things to many people... and what it means to you may be less important than what it means to the people you depend on.
Just out of Thanksgiving, we are coming into a season where we are expected to show our appreciation to those who make it happen for us - our staff, our clients and all those in between. Before you think about another generic gift basket, consider for just a minute, just what each of those might appreciate (and no, it's not actually MONEY). Cash is currency, not a gift. We've assembled a beautiful flip e-catalogue to get you started in the right direction. Next just hit "reply" and our View more
I get teased about this all the time by those close to me... It's Not About the Pen You see my email signature includes the line "It's Not about the Pen" not because I don't like pens... but because of something I inherently knew. People won't always remember what you said but they will always remember how you made them feel. You see, that's what we believe this business is about - making people feel valued - important - connected. The swag itself is just the vehicle - not the message itself. Whether its a T-shirt that makes them smile - "GOT JUNK" (done for AIM Recycling Centers, or a Journal with the recipients name on it - for Unconventional Planning, the success comes from the emotion, not the

As the Rebel Leader at Silver Star, I want to create a small firm that is very good at delivering business impact via swag. That means not just cheap and cheerful giveaways but product that molds the intent of the buyer - sways them in our direction and gets them on our side. We've been running independently in Ottawa since 2003, Seabrook Clients joins us in 2013 and in summer of 2013 after being invited to sit at the 'grown up' table by a pair of key clients, I revisited what Silver Star Swag would need in order to continue to grow with her clients (yes, I was raised a sailor - so like a boat, Silver Star is a girl). So in Fall 2013, Talbot Marketing of
