While the exact number is debated, what isn’t debated is that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. So as an old boss once said to me, “It takes 43 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile, so quit working so hard!”
With all that is going on in our world, we thought we’d take a break from the serious side of running a business and put a smile on your face, or add to the smile that’s already there.
One of the “good” things to come out of lockdowns and quarantines, besides spending more quality time with our families, is the new and often hilarious memes that we see on social and digital media.
If you need a good laugh, and we all do, simply google “COVID-19 memes”. You can laugh to your heart’s content. Here are some favorites.
A good marketing lesson that can be learned from these is that cute, happy, and funny sell. If you’re looking for ways to add cute, happy, and funny into your marketing, here are a few ideas:
- If you have a marquee sign, use it to display a cute or funny saying, a meme.
- Send special notes (emails or letters) to your customers using cute or humorous quotes or memes.
- Post some of these around the office or store. Your employees and customers will smile.
