Luck is for Losers...

This was the subject line of an email I received the other day. It was tied to a St. Patrick's Day promotion and since today is the "National Day of Luck" (I just made that up) it seemed fitting to steal their line.

I don't know about you but the only place I think luck really enters the picture is on the golf course. A drive lands in the fairway and bounces into the rough, that's bad luck but if it goes the other way, lands in the rough and bounces into the fairway, well, that is good luck.

But it's hard for me to believe much in business luck though I'm sure there are examples around. Emerson said "Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect."

And my favorite luck saying of all time is credited to Samuel Goldwyn, "The harder I work, the luckier I get," though it seems one could argue that he was paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson's "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."

What does luck have to do with buying promotional and meeting items? Not much... as long as you place your trust in someone who will not let you down on your time-sensitive imprinted advertising item orders. (Oh, over 90% of the promotional product orders we receive are time-sensitive so we "do deadlines" every day, all day.)

With marketing budgets often not finalized until the last minute, you'll be heartened to know that even our 394 promotional items that ship in 24 hours, are backed up with our same price protection guarantee. And you want someone you can trust to help you get the most out of your marketing budget.

Since 1964, tens of thousands of customers have relied on us... and not luck... when it comes to on-time delivery and getting the biggest bang for each marketing buck. When it's time again to promote your brand, think MARCO Promotional Products and you won't have to worry about being lucky!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
