There were definitely plenty of dark days for me and this agency, days when we faced setbacks and lost clients. But we always found a way to learn from the experience and become stronger, and we always bounced back.]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2012/01/30/9000-shots/feed/ 2 http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/12/22/value-wins/ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/12/22/value-wins/#comments Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:16:32 +0000 JZ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/?p=2749 When you deliver actual, insight-driven value to the consumer that means the consumer delivers loyalty and positive word-of-mouth in return. Delivering only a discount, though, means the consumer has no loyalty, and no reason to buy your brand again, once someone offers a deeper discount.]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/12/22/value-wins/feed/ 1 http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/12/05/florida-kids-in-distress/ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/12/05/florida-kids-in-distress/#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:20:13 +0000 JZ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/?p=2736 It is a national disgrace that 1100 students are homeless in Seminole County. That should not be happening. An eight-year-old girl shouldn't have to go on national television and talk about being stuck in her car with her mom, her dad, two dogs, and a cat, praying that the family can somehow come up with enough money to get into a cheap hotel.
