So That’s Where All of the (my) Company Banquets Went…

December 12, 2008 at 3:28 pm (Uncategorized)

Well, our friends and customers Barry and Susan Brooks over at Cookies From Home (oh for the good ‘ol days when the scent of baking goodies wafted from their door along the sidewalk on Mill) have come up with a great angle.  The marketing wonk in me loves this piece–here is the email I received from their distribution list, with the subject line “No Office Party This Year?”

No Office Party This Year?

No Office Party This Year?

What a fine idea! I do hope that, if this circumstance pertains to you, by all means you will send some Cookies From Home.
…On the other hand, if you are avoiding carbs, perhaps on the Atkins or South Beach Diet, and shunning cookies, may I humbly suggest that you give the gift of a high-protein Christmas via Monti’s Gift Certificates!
