OK guys it is valentines day once again and if you know what is good for you then you will be doing something nice for that special lady in you life.  Forgetting Valentines day is a good way for a married man to end up on the couch for a night or two.  Now we know it is a typical "Halmark Holiday" but hell if you are an Internet Marketer your lady probably puts up with enough grief to deserve something nice anyway.

What you don't want to be is one of those dolts scraping to buy something on the final day or picking up a rose from some dude at the red light just off the highway.  Take my advice, send flowers from an online florist. Of course send them to your lady's work place so their friends can see them get them.  I give a lot of advice on how to market on this blog but this little piece of advice may be the best ROI you will get our of any of them.  Women absolutely love and I mean love to recieve flowers in front of their girl friends at work.

You only have a few days left guys, get to it.  I can also tell you from experience you can't go wrong by using 1-800-Flowers.com.  OK I have done my duty my fellow marketer you have been reminded, forget at your own risk.

Check out this ad preview for Pepsi featuring, What is Love  Provided by PlayPhone.com that offers ring tones, wall papers and games. The video is a parody of Saturday Night Live's popular "Night at the Roxbury" skit will keep people awake with a humorous take on the before-and-after effects of drinking Diet Pepsi MAX. There is also a behind-the-scenes look features Busta RymesMissy Elliott, Enigma Haddaway and LL Cool J . The ad will premiere during the Superbowl and will probably be quite a hit.

 

PlayPhone.com is really pretty cool they leading mobile media company providing cutting edge personalization and entertainment content to mobile consumers anytime, anywhere. The company currently operates its own leading mobile entertainment destination at PlayPhone.com and powers subscription-based mobile portals for the world's top entertainment brands.  They were the first company to set up the direct to consumer model for ring tones back in 2003.  

So if you want to spiff up your cell phone with really cool ring tones, games and wall papers check out PlayPhone.com and enjoy the Super Bowl and the cool commercials that go with it.  Given this year will probably be another blow out for the Patriots the commercial may honestly be the hight point if like me you want to see the Giants win.

Turning a penny into a memory

My son is now 18 and off in college but we have a lot of memories in the form of pennies that we "smashed" into something cool.  I am sure at one time or another you have come across penny press machines in your travels.  As my son grew up it was something we did on just about every trip, usually a few times on each trip.  Heck of a lot of memories in those pennies some examples of places we have them from include,

  • Baltimore, Maryland
  • Jim Thrope, Pennsylvania (you got to see the autumn leaves their at some point in your life)
  • The Houston Space Center
  • Sanibel Island Florida
  • The Philadelphia Zoo
  • Nashville, Tennessee

And a bunch more, I even got him a folder made for keeping them in.  When you think about it a penny machine is a simple and inexpensive way to create a unique collectible with a specific memory attached to it.  I can remember when Matt was small and needed help to crank the handle when I look at those little smashed pennies that is the type of thing I remember.  In short those pennies are priceless to me.
