Old friends! I've been lucky lately to spend time with friends I've known for many years, and it's an extraordinary experience. So great to be around people who have been in your life for so long that no explanation is necessary, but whom you see infrequently enough that there is always suprising news. My point for marketing? (Because yes, I do have one.) That mix of familiarity and newness is a great way to approach your messaging. Your customers need to know who you are and what you stand for--and they also need to know that every time they visit, you'll be up to something interesting. Oooh!, they'll think, what is [your amazing brand] concocting now???? Then you'll all hang out together. I love a company that has taught me what to expect without ever being boring.
 
Happy creating!
