April fun facts as promised.

April Quotation

April cold with dropping rain

Willows and lilacs brings again,

The whistle of returning birds

And trumpet-lowing of the herds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

1. Diamond is the birthstone for April
2. Daisy and the sweet pea are the flowers of the month.
3. April Fools' Day, or All Fools' Day, is the first day of April. No one knows where the custom began, but some historians believe it started in France. They had a New Year's festival that was celebrated from March 25 to April 1, and they would then exchange gifts. But, later, King James IV changed the holiday to January 1 for New Years. The people that still celebrated it April 1 were called 'April fish' and sent mock presents.
4. Arbor Day is set aside for planting trees. It began in Nebraska on April 10, 1872 by newspaper publisher, Julis Sterling Morgan. Most US States celebrate the holiday as do most provinces in Canada.
5. Easter usually falls in April and is one of the most card sending months of the year because (1) it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, making it the most important Christian festival of the year, and (2) it celebrates the beginning of spring and new foliage, flowers and the Easter Bunny!
6. The Revolutionary War in America began on April 19, 1775, when British soldiers and American revolutionaries clashed in Massachusetts.
7. William Shakespeare, the playwright, was born on April 23, 1564. He also died in England in 1616.
8. Feast day of the Patron Saint of England is April 23.
9. The Federal US Mint was established April 2, 1972.
10. The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, when South Vietnam surrendered.

“Can I recommend a good electrician?”
“Who is your doctor? Do you like her?”
“We are expecting a new baby and need a bigger home.  Can you recommend a good realtor?”
“Who does your media articles and social media? I love it!”

Would you agree that word of mouth referrals are the very best way to get help? Do you think anything works better? I think no other form of advertising works as well. Business owners, know this and want to leverage this to generate business in a tough or good economy. We want to be remembered for the great service or products we provide, and we "cuddle" the referrals that others send our way. Referrals are the bomb, am I wrong? 

How do we encourage people, without seeming pushy or overbearing, to remember our names and recommend us to their friends?

Imagine if there were a strategy for “helping along” those referrals that you need to grow your business? So that when The Question gets asked: “Who do you know who can help me with…?” The response is you or your business.

Okay now the rubber meet the road. Get your free cards and try it and see what your clients and friends say when they receive a personalized custom card from you.
