It is now thursday, and if my calculations are right and you live in (one of ) the areas where I advertise, you should have received my flyer on your mailbox. If you are wandering what it is, the one side looks like this... The other side will change monthly, with a different message. I've never been much of a flyer advertiser, but this time I've decided to concentrate on the areas … [Read more...]

To twit or not to Twit?

twitter

For many many months I entertained the idea of joining the twitter madness. I’ve seen news on big companies having their twitter accounts and twittering away, some of my favorite writers and bloggers also are using twitter.
