You never know when a concert will take place!

An impromptu concert started in the RMI accounting department on Christmas Eve. Bryan Sih (our temp/high school senior) brought in his guitar to recreate the “Let it Snow” holiday card. Lead singer Lisa Davis is backed up by Kathy Duggan-Josephs, Debbie McLain, Tally Maffucci and Kathy Englund. Debbie Mclain proved to be the one with all the words, Aidan Howell (Alison Howell’s son) is the one showing no interest in the adults making fools of themselves. Enjoy!

I can not wait for the New Years Eve Auld Lang Syne Sing-a-long!

Giving Thanks

As I walked around the office wishing everyone at RMI a Happy Thanksgiving, I am overwhelmed with how much I have to be thankful for.

Cross your fingers

I'm not sure if we all tried to brace ourselves for bad news from retailers this past weekend just so that we might be happily surprised, but it certainly seems like the consumers came through. The word being used is "energetic" to describe the Thanksgiving weekend sales - both at stores and online.

Cyber Monday, on the other hand, has been referred to as “Cyber History” by some. In today’s world the majority of online shoppers have Internet access in their homes and can browse at their leisure, rather than cramming it in at work (which makes me wonder if that’s why sales were better than expected).

All in all the doom and gloom forecasts about all of the consumers who would keep their wallets closed until retailers severely slashed their prices seemed a little premature. Certainly there were bargain hunters out there, but at least they were buying. With a shortened holiday shopping season this year, the market taking its plunge, unemployment creeping up and foreclosures continuing, we need all the good news we can get. Let's all hope that this isn't just a flash in the pan and that marketers are being very smart in listening to their customers and giving them what they want.

And so it begins...

If you're a marketer and just now planning for the holidays, the wrapping paper industry is way ahead of you. Christmas themed paper has been spotted at a Walgreens already (as pointed about by Future Gringo).

Is that Bing Crosby?

If you're feeling a little Bah Humbug, this should cheer you up. What's better than a bunch of people singing a holiday song? A bunch of people singing a holiday song badly! We've put together a fun holiday card that showcases our singing, um, skills. You can mix and match who is singing to get a custom sound - check it out! Happy Holidays!
