Dear Readers,
The joyful, jolly Christmas spirit is upon us. For those of you who still haven't done their shopping, think about the persuasion, marketing, advertising and sales pitchesthat happen around you in the stores and shopping malls. We are overwhelmed by hundreds, even thousands of marketing/advertising messages every day of the year, but Christmas is that special time when this stream of information quadruples. We have prepared some solutions to help you out in the modern shopping maze:
TIP#1: First of all don't get talked into buying something you don't need.
TIP#2: Focus on the person and their interests, not making a bang with the prize or size of the gift.
TIP#3: If you decided to stay home and order online, make sure to read the BBC article about your Christmas online shopping rights.
Most importantly don't forget: CHRISTMAS IS NOT ABOUT THE GIFTS! Its about happiness, being together with your family and making great memories.
On behalf of the BEM team have a wonderful Christmas time with all the joy and great atmosphere!
