Every year we do our best to communicate to our clients just how important it is to place orders early in order to reasonably expect delivery by Christmas. Inevitably, on December 22nd or 23rd we receive phone calls from people who are convinced that we can work miracles, perhaps with the aid of a sled and eight tiny reindeer.

Quando la temperatura sale, l’appetito vacilla. Stuzzicare il cliente svogliato non è facilissimo. Ecco qualche suggerimento per combattere l’inerzia estiva:
I think the publisher’s association should send a thank-you message to IKEA. The recent television commercial promoting the paper catalogue of the Swedish furniture maker (now viral on the web) has reminded millions of people of the ease of use of the traditional book, that object without a power cord or a password that arrives …
Place cards are usually employed for dinners involving eight or more. They’re actually quite useful for avoiding that embarrassing little pantomime that occurs when it’s time to be seated and no one wants to appear rude by being the first to choose a spot. The time spent on that awkward moment of hesitations and musical chairs …
