Fun

Let’s get this straight.  If anyone wants to give us money, we’ll gladly take it.  We’d be even happier if it was money for the sale of Mini-Compressor, but we’re not too picky.

We currently accept payment through all major credit cards as well as Paypal, though an account is not required.   We’ve toyed with alternative ideas.  And by alternative, we really mean alternative.  Like, big fat novelty cheques:

“W” was the letter of the week in Darling Daughter’s class a few weeks ago.  You know what I wished?  That Mini-Compressor would compress the wascally weeds in our Behemoth Garden.  Right-click on behemoth weeds and voila… smaller weed no long takes over space where the strawberries are and I can dig it out easier.  Nice, right?

Another adventure out of the basement - yay!  It’s that time of year in the Chamming garden… yup… planting time.

First comes the planning process that I love best.  I carefully draw a not-to-scale “map” of the garden on the back for scrap paper.  It’s usually entitled “My Vegetable Garden”.  Chris laughs that it reminds him of Microsoft’s “My” products, like “My Computer” and “My Favourites”.  Anyway, this year on the hit list are zucchinis, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers beets, beans, peas, lettuce, herbs, onions and sunflowers.

The success of our product marketing could be measured by how well Mini-Compressor is integrated into everyday life, but more importantly, everyday language.

If I may demonstrate with a few examples:

Do you remember when Google became a noun? I do_*_. Now, do you remember when google became a verb?  Seriously, how often have you ‘googled’ someone or something as opposed to ‘used a search engine to find someone or something’?

We want to celebrate the 20th annual Earth Day with a special promotion!  This will be a real one, not like the bogus Mini one.

Big bold print:

Free shipping with every copy of Mini-Compressor purchased.  Forever.  No questions asked, no codes.

How?  That’s easy!  Run, don’t walk, to the Buy Now button on our website.

How does this help the environment?  We save on packaging and gas to get that big cardboard box to your door… aaaaannnddd…. everyone else is greenwashing these days.  We thought we’d jump on the bandwagon.  It couldn’t hurt, right?
