AMiable Solution #188: Keeping Honor in Marketing

Honor.  For too many people, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer.  Period.  But for anyone who has known, loved, or raised a member of the military, Memorial Day is about recognizing those who displayed bravery, sacrifice and honor in service.

Most of us will never experience the fearful sights that our military members experience.  We will never have our integrity, our commitment, our training tested so mortally and with such dramatic and lasting results.

And although we compete with other marketers for donations, orders, members, and on occasion, awards, we will never risk everything we are and love for our jobs.

Still, we can model ourselves after our military examples and work with integrity and honor.  We can do that by keeping our marketing honest.  By not misleading or manipulating.  By listening to our customers and responding promptly and professionally.

We can’t bring those who were lost to war and conflict back, but we can remember their sacrifice and emulate their example by practicing what they lived: honor.


Happy Memorial Day.
