Easter is the perfect time to be thinking about new life. Up here on the North Coast of the USA things are just starting to come to life. Today it was easy to see the first flower in one of my flower beds. I have two flower beds that butt up against the house and I suspect that they stay just warm enough that little volunteers like this one get a real head start of the others that have to deal with a deep frost like my out in the open garden does.
Every day for the past two weeks I have been closely inspecting my boulevard trees to see if they were showing any kind of life. There had been nothing until this afternoon. Yesterday we had our first 70 degree day (just jumped right over having a 60 degree day) and in the evening we had a gentile shower. Evidently that is exactly what one of the two trees were waiting for.
The other boulevard tree still appears dorment and the other trees are so large I can't see up there to see if they triggered yet or not.
One thing I have noticed on Active Rain this week in both the blogs and questions is that several agents are asking how to add new life to their marketing. Maybe the answer is to let the old marketing habits that once were fruitful and now seem unproductive die. Perhaps those methods had their season and perhaps they will come around to be fruitful in another season but let them go for now and look for a way to introduce or even recognize new life in your market.
Active Rain is a fertile garden of ideas that can help you grow your market. Seek the advice of master gardeners like Kathy Streib , Barbara Todaro , Grant Schneider and hundreds of others here in the Rain. Don't be to quick to dismiss ideas that seem foreign to you. Learn to adapt to your environment and you will have a bountiful harvest this fall.
