EUROPE DAY
Above all, it is a day to pay tribute to all the European Union's citizens. Why on the 9th of May??
Because it makes reference to the 9th of May 1950. That day, the International Press was invited by the French Foreign ministry to the Clock Show, at the Quai d'Orsay, for a communication of the highest importance.
The first lines of the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950 were jointly written by Robert Schuman, French foreign minister, and his assistant and friend, Jean Monnet.
This declaration was calling France, Germany and other European countries to pool together their coal and steel production as "the first concrete foundations of a European federation", in the aftermath of WWII!
This proposition was broadly accepted, and the 9 of May 1950 was the first move towards the creation of what is now known as the European Union...It's during the European Council of Milan in 1985, Heads of State agreed upon commemorating this date each year, through a "Europe Day", created for all the European Union's citizens.

I wish a good day to all the European citizens!

What is "Guerilla Marketing" ?
According to Isaac Belmar, expert in Marketing and Communication, the Guerilla Marketing is a marketing philosophy which is defending a non-traditional use of the media...

Here is the latest article from Mickael Merry Crooks, a 23 year advertising veteran in the US and a devoted writer of our BLOG!
I was holding a huge, soft rubber fist that serves the promotional market as a 20oz beverage holder, primarily in sports settings. I said, "What do you think, Jim? It's the Fistful of Flowers bouquet."
Often my ideas are initially outside of people's comfort zone because I employ "Use Re-Invention" thinking. I simply reinvent how something is used. For instance, if I say, "Hey, let's put this tire on the car" you'd probably go along with it. But what if I say, "Hey, let's use this tire to grow potatoes." You may roll your eyes, even after I tell you that I know it works — because I've done it!...
There are hundreds of ways of putting your promotional message across at a tradeshow or a promo event. Among them are methods as exotic as setting up a light show with multi-colored laser beams playing with your logo and slogan on walls and floors or of the trade show hole; or having some hot models (with large imprinted logo, slogan on those scanty pieces of clothes that cover their bodies) to stand in your booth or walk around the hole, handing out your
