The winter holiday season brings with it many feelings of joy. In the business world nothing brings as much joy as the elusive holiday bonus. This is the time of year where companies, large and small, show their appreciation to their empoloyees with some sort of gift. Bonuses range from useless nutcrackers to cash to concert tickets. With the Super Bowl always around the corner, some very lucky, or derserving employees will even get football tickets. The christmas bonus always makes me think of the Chevy Chase film, Christmas Vacation. Chevy keeps his cool through every possible mishap, but when he receives his christmas bonus and all it is, is a card, he goes beserk; people take their bonuses seriously.

A press release is a great way to get your name and brand out in front of potential customers. It works just as well for new companies as it does for established ones. A new company can use it to announce their grand opening, to introduce their name to consumers. Once that company has established itself in its respective market continuing to publish press releases every once in awhile is a good way to keep its brand name in front of its customers. A press release should, however, only be issued when it is describing something truly newsworthy. A good example is this press release from Gorilla Trades announcing their new spokesperson - Davy Jones from the 60’s pop group the Monkees.
