4-sided snowflakes?

We really despise four-sided snowflakes. It shows a lack of…well a lack of a lot of things. Come on, a kindergartner can make a six-sided snowflake if you show them how. And that’s what we’ve done. We’ve made a little video for YouTube to show the simple process of cutting out a six-sided snowflake.

(No, not everything on this blog is about business and marketing.)

Elves Who Hold Their Knees

In the Ghosts of Christmas Past Department, this is a promotion the agency did years ago. It was a novelty back then, at the time not everyone had the capabilities to make their own CDs. Times change, don’t they? (Continue reading to hear the recordings.)

The Elves Who Hold Their Knees featured the group singing Christmas classics. (The songs are classic songs, no one is going to mistake the singing for a classic performance.) After distributing the CD, we found that The Elves Who Hold Their Knees were very popular with young teenage girls. (Seriously.) Kudos to Bennett Syverson for the original concept.

Holiday Gift Idea

For many, shopping for the holidays can be very stressful. Not only getting out and fighting the crowds, but just finding that appropriate gift for the person that seems to already have everything.

Here’s a fresh idea that you may want to consider…

Create your own photo book! With digital photography, it is easy to create your own hardbound or softbound book. If you’re on an Apple computer, go to apple.com and look up iPhoto books. Other sites that offer book printing for PCs and Macs include picaboo.com, shutterfly.com, and hp.com. Hardbound books start at around $30.
