Thursdays Sneak Peek: Our 21st Century Twist on #BurmaShave Signs

Thought for the Day: Preparing for a promotion is a lot of work, even with a wonderful team of interns helping me out! Today, instead of my regular post, I decided to share some of the wonderful photos that my interns & I have been preparing. Dream Team Adam sent me these last night & they are just too funny & cute for words! Let me know what you think of our 21st Century #BurmaShave signs! Be sure to download a free copy of The Wake Up and Dream Challenge starting at 12 AM on Sunday 8/4/2013 & lasting till 12 PM on Tuesday 8/6/2013 (PST). Here's the link where you will be able to download the book: goo.gl/8F2TbU. You do not need to own a kindle, you can download it straight to your computer using Amazon's Free e-book reader.

Please share this with all your friends & families. If you have read the book & been following my blog, I'd love it if you also left a review on the same page. The more people who read & review the book, the more it will eventually support the nonprofit organizations featured in & benefiting from the book! Thanks in advance!

P. S. Would you like to know how to find great photos like these for free for your social media campaigns? Come back tomorrow for our #FF Friday's Fabulous Finds to learn more!

Tuesday's Psychology Trivia: Who Invented Givaway Advertising: Coca Cola, Anheuser Busch or Burma Shave??

Thought for the Day: Since I had trouble finding pure psychological research on free advertising campaigns, I searched for information on the history of advertising which led to today's trivia question. Certainly, psychology has played a large part in the advertising & marketing industry. Here's today's question:

Was Burma Shave, Coca Cola or the Anheuser Busch the 1st company to use free giveaways to promote their products?

Come back on Thursday for the answer.
