Christmas has a new color this year and as many dream of a white Christmas, this year most will dream of “green”.

I know I normally write about weddings and marketing, but tonight I found this absolutely hilarious video. Its worth the watch. I can see how this can now be applied to weddings in general, from a Bride-zilla, to the Mother of the Bride. Treatment for an overbearing wedding planner, or just an upper for the DJ!
Here is my Wedding MBA video interview with Tara Murney of A Green Tie Affair - Eco Friendly Wedding Planning.
I currently own the Samson I760 Phone. Its a great phone with lots of cool features. Well 24 hours after I bought it, the screen cracked and the phone was useless. They switched out phones with me at no charge and made sure I was happy. Now this is my 4th or 5th phone in the last 10 years with them. So I was content. On friday my screen cracked again. I dreaded the idea of having to drive to the Verizon store and have them point me in the right direction. Its been 8 months so the 48 hour return policy is well past it prime. I found their insurance carrie online and within 5 minutes had a new phone on its way. WPP Insurance - Asurion is incredible! Online phone replacement in as little as 24 hours. Right now somewhere in the country my phone is getting put on a plane and will arrive to me tomorrow! I can not live with out my phone, so thank you Verizon for partnering with a great insurance carrier that didn’t ask a ton of questions!
It has been about 60 days with Hubspot so far and things are going well. The reprogramming of my webpages has really helped drive traffic to our website. We are now averageing over 200 vistors a day to our website. Last month we had over 9000 visitors to our website. Thats amazing for a business of our size.
Are we bursting at the seems yet.. No way. Do to the reprogramming of our website, we are taking the intial hits in our Google keyword ranking, but I am working on that. About 2-3 hours a week. I am thankful that my wife continues to blog and keep up with that work on http://modernphotographics.com/blog/
So as we grow with Hubspot I will keep you posted as to our success! In the mean time keep blogging.
