Okay, I am a pretty strong proponent of writing a blog vs. writing a newsletter and calling it a blog. I have seen lots of these (you know who you are) and they make my blood boil. I mean, PLEASE tell us something we don't know. And the advertisements/blogs , don't get me started.
Uh, but like the the sappy love song that contradicts itself...here I go with some NEWS (However, I think something can be learned from this):
Jamie's Painting & Design was contacted this summer about supplying products for an Extreme Make Over Home Edition episode. We were sworn to secrecy and given colors, theme and a very tight deadline. We sent them over-night and held our breath in anticipation of the products getting lost or broken in transit (thank you Fed Ex they arrived in one piece).
Two of our products will be featured on Extreme Make Over Home Edition Season Premiere on abc 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. this Sunday, September 24, 2006.
Now this in itself is very big for us, we are super-excited to be a part of something so amazing and the exposure is something we could not have ever gotten alone.
I mentioned our opportunity to another company and they said that they considered doing this, yet it would be too costly. I honestly disagree - you can not PAY for this kind of exposure, and to be a part of such an amazing organization. Our company name will be on the roll at the end of the show and we will be on the website forever! We say yes to charities, auctions, hospitals, churches all the time-we always have, even when we were itty-bitty. I feel very lucky and blessed to be able to do what I love and I believe in giving back.
I think companies should pay attention to the image they are portraying. Giving back to the community that supports you is a must. You never know when they might stop buying your products.....what comes around goes around.
