We are honoring Black Marriage Day on Sunday, March 22, 2009.

Here are some ideas to help you celebrate and promote this special day.

Renew Wedding Vows
Couples nationwide will renew their wedding vows on Black Marriage Day. As a gift to the bride and groom, present them with a wedding gift basket. This is a great way to make the occasion memorable.

Community Celebration
Take a lesson from President Obama. If you are a Community Organizer, group or organization, host a Black Marriage Day event. Invite a guest speaker--after the event show your appreciation to them by giving them a "Thank You" gift basket.

Youth Events
Don't forget the kids. Offer youth workshops or have youth Sunday at your church. At the end of the service, celebrate with the kids. Give them goodie gift bags to take home.

Keep spreading the Word! Married life is not boring. People in successful marriages accumulate greater wealth than single people. And they live longer healthier lives.

To all African Americans, Happy 2009 Black Marriage Day!

We've all been feeling the affects of the economy, some more than others. But have you thought about how the economy is affecting your business and sales?

If you think waiting for the economy to get better is the best option for your business, you're wrong.

Check out these strategies businesses and organizations are using to get through these tough times.

Promotional Gifts
Give out promotional gift baskets to people who are interested or more likely to purchase your products or services.

Drop a Note
Stay connected to your customers by keeping in touch. Solo professionals and entrepreneurs use a greeting card program to send customers a personalized thank you card or a note on a regular basis to make sure their address and phone number is the same and to receive special offers.

Reduce Customers' Expense
Your customers are searching for the best deals right now. Reduce their cost by picking up the tab. Offer complimentary shipping or buy one get one free deals.

Employee Marketing Program
Encourage employee productivity while getting the best advertising- Word of Mouth. As an incentive to the top producer, reward them with a gift basket that is sent on a pre determined recurring basis.

I strongly encourage you to use these strategies as a guide for your business survival. I can tell you that they work because I use them myself.
