Welcome 2012! Some dates to remember in the next few months...


The tinsel has been swept up, the tree taken down, all is back to normal, yes, the novelty of a new year, is beginning to wear off!  Now it's time to start building, writing down ideas, making lists of creative projects to do to help shape the year ahead.  Following is a list of key dates to work into your planning schedule for 2012.  Think of the potential events you can plan around these days to market your business.  Try February 29, 2012 - Leap Day, for example,  "An extra 24 hours of deals!" 

Other dates, some traditional, some unusual, all can somehow be arranged into your very own special celebration:
January 23 - Chinese New Year
