To buy or not to buy? Pampering still needed.

Today’s economy I know people are cutting back and not spending more which causes a ripple effect to the business owners I deal with daily. Some have cut back on their advertising which is really the one thing that will keep them afloat.      www.RippleEffectsMarketing.com Think about it for a moment: Your one act of not making a purchase causes a huge ripple effect in the market.  It not only affects one business owner or person but trickles down to many. For Instance: Cut back 1. – Your weekly or monthly massage you pamper yourself to not only helps decrease your stress level, but increases your circulation and loosens the lactic acid build up for a healthier more relaxed you.  So you say to yourself, “this is not a bill. “Bye, bye massages…for now.” a.)    Eventually your masseuse looses that monthly income and has to cut back on purchases of oils and lotions or such. b.)    The vendor that sells her these massage products looses monthly income c.)     This vendor then has to cut back spending on something they do monthly and the trickle of the ripple effect starts all over again!                                         d.)    Did I mention your stress levels get higher now that your body does not have that monthly massage fix?  Your body and mind is used to that pampered state.  e.)    Don’t forget that your masseuse was advertising in the Triad’s hottest award-winning magazine for women and they cut back in their advertising. So here starts yet another ripple effect.  OK, I REALLY hate this trickle! ….8-)  I would like to propose a lets fight the recession buying day! Make a purchase of $40 or less on one marked day. Enticing? I would love to know what you empowering women think of this idea if you would like to share.  To help with that added stress for those missing out on monthly massages and to fill those hunger pains too, visit http://www.self.com/health/2009/03/a-stress-reducing-shopping-list?mbid=yahoo.   In my next blog, or one to come there soon after, I want to test the different supermarkets and the differences in prices on the same items I buy each month.  I also have a theory on coupons I’ll need your help on.                       - - - - - - - - - - -Keep Smiling!- - - - - - - - - - - - -
