Chums! Me and The Prof just had a stand-up row in the office. Dreadful scenes - almost came to blows.
Why? Because we were arguing about when to run a Halloween promotion in our weekly mailout.
The Prof thought that next Monday is the perfect time because it'll get people thinking about Halloween and planning ahead.
I thought that's too early and we should wait til the Monday after when people really are thinking about Halloween and it's in all the shops and all over TV.
Richard/Prof, stand apart!!! steady on now chaps no fighting. Let's remember taht we are apparently in the worst economic decline since 1349!!! and if peeps want to pay above the average for their halloween goodies, and they might now you are officially the best thing since sliced bread- then early may definately be better. Of course, if like some you get paid on the 27th then the week after would maybe be better to avoid running the risk of casting your clientele into a spiral into depression....
Well. given that I thought a week on Friday was the 31st (as opposed to a fortnight away), I'm really not well equipped to comment. But the thought of my two favourite Business Boss Boys (so much better than Branson) having a falling out over our wishes has left me all upset, so I'll vote for the following Monday in order to restore peace.... Oh, and because I'm in Hospital this Monday, so would likely miss out on all the fun!
Hey TB, thanks for your concern, probably well founded having just re-read my above post! Afraid it's a combination of blonde-ness, painkillers and rather a severe lack of sleep over the last few nights. Anyway, I still stand by the gist of my ramblings, even if I am the only one who understands it
