Greetings From My Time Square
See the Future As It Is Happening


This was the view from late 2006 as the ball dropped in the middle of Times Square.

It's a brand new year and promises to be a very excited one at BRANDEMiX as we work with wonderful new clients and create and implement exciting programs aligned with their goals.

Other goings on:

We've recently achieved moderate success with our PR efforts and I'm proud to say that I was featured in the NY Times job section last Sunday and will soon appear in Entrepreneur Magazine talking about Employee Referral Programs and their positive effect on business.

As readers know, we're also hard at work on the new website and should be unveiling it soon.

There are several speaking engagements coming up where we'll be discussing the newest technologies and how to put them to work for your company. Regular readers know this to be a Fav topic of mine and when I'm not hard at work, I'm usually surfing the internet for the next new thing.

Without giving away any secrets, I'll just give you one sample of how Domino's is using Ebay to generate some interest and sales.


They are auctioning off iPods, flat-screen TVs and other high-priced items as part of a new promotion for its $9.99 pizza deals.

For the promotion, set to start Monday, Domino's will place the items for sale for $9.99 on eBay. But people who wish to purchase one of the items will have first have to participate in an online scavenger hunt by visiting another Web site, www.anythinggoesdeal.com. There, they can obtain clues directing them to location of the eBay items by playing a short game or puzzle.

Now, in my mind, the possibilities to use variations on this are endless. If any brave soul would like to explore this for your own purposes, give me a shout out.


Otherwise, best wishes and may all your dreams for the year unfold.

Jody
