Surprising Consumer Relations via a Zanzibari....

When I was in Zanzibar in February, I noticed that a packet of sugar had an email address on it. The sugar was from Zanzibar Tea Packers and also had a postal address and phone number. At the time, I wondered what the purpose was, and what would happen if one emailed them. As I was going through my miscellany that I collected during the trip, I decided to find out and was pleasantly surprised to receive a response.

Check out the original post, which tells you how simple customer relations can be sometimes... Fascinating observation and reminder from the posts author.

We ought to use the best means we can to be well informed of our duty.

To Blog Or Not To Post

write down the idea when you have it, and then publish it easy... While to me it sounds easy in theory, but not so much so in practice, first of all ideas comes at the most awkward times, and tough I usually write down an outline like this, I rarely hit publish right away; I need to ponder some more on the idea and organise the string of thoughts then it's time to publish, right? Well lets say we gotten trough that process in due time the answer is: yeah, maybe not just yet...

Self critic, editing, and censorship can be a bitca (thank you buffy for that one) and a true inhibitor of creativity.
After a few readings some by notes remarks and editing, repeat again then the final brush, and there you go ready to publish... That is if it's still relevant, and the topic at hand is not beaten to death by the social media that be.

Blogging was or ment or used to be a string of thoughts loosely structured and published as such and not a master degree report, so maybe I should go back to basic and just publish the flow of thoughts in realtim; as I intend to do with this post; I can always go back and revise later, maybe just maybe that's the secret to beeing a productive writer (as in blogger),

I know just writing this down has inspired a few new posts to come on related matters, I'll just jot down a few keywords and a paragraphs so I can structure them to a post later.....
