NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 & YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010. Marketing Ploys to enhance your Brand.

Have you heard about NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 (‘NSD’) that has taken Popular Culture by storm? If not, this Introduction is to inform you of its Existence and an exciting Development regarding NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 created and actively promoted by me: ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, a Creative Writer & Public Relations/Media Expert fluent in PRAM: Public Relations - Advertising – Marketing with the Emphasis on Event Creation & Branding via specific Social Media Networks that is based in Chicago, the third largest metropolitan and cosmopolitan city in the USA. 

NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 has been rigorously featured in Fast Company Magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo and Time.com (Money & Business Sections) and scores of other Formats (of which a partial list of Thirty (30) highly recognizable names are found at the end of this Introductory letter), all lending Credibility & Status to the Event).   Since 1994, ‘NSD’ has been used extensively to promote such Products as:

Gucci – Pepsi Cola - Dunkin Donuts – LeSportsac - Mastercard – Bloomingdale’s - Bath & Body Works – Herman Miller, Inc. –The Home Depot – Duane Reade –– Hillside Chevrolet – Brittany – Hard Rock Hotel  & Spa/Las Vegas to name only a few. Many more are located on www.Twitter.com under #NationalSplurgeDay.

Now with 2014 here, to accelerate the Popularity of the HOLIDATE, as ‘America’s Premier Eventologist1, I have further proclaimed that 2014 is the  YEAR OF THE SPLURGE since NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 marks its historic and milestone 20TH Year.

Additionally, the 18TH of each Month (January 18, February 18, March 18, April 18, May 18, June 18 (the official and original NSD), July 18, August 18, September 18, October 18, November & December 18) is accorded its own unique Designation as DOTS:  Days Of The Splurge (consisting of more NEWS via Activities, Advertisements, Blogs, Festivities, etc. generated by Members of ‘CLUB SPLURGE,’ what I call this Marketing Phenomena).  Focusing on the Topic and Deal of the Day that you wish to offer (as it may be something ‘special’ that your Group has recently launched), your Name & Product will be included in my Mailings/Correspondences every day as one of the leading SPLURGES to indulge in during YOTS: Year of The Splurge, promoted by me personally - its Creator.  Marketing doesn’t get better than that when you are working alongside the Originator / Founder of such a monumental Icon. 

While June 18 is officially (the day and date of) the original NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994, 2014 is the 20TH ABC: Anniversary – Birthday – Celebration.

12 MONTHS IN 2014 = 12 CATEGORIES = 12 SENSATIONAL WAYS TO SPLURGE STARTING NOW:

To participate in YEAR OF THE SPLURGE, the Spin-off of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994, with your specific Product/Brand/Service/Material (i.e.: Category of Spas – Autos – Travel - Watches – Jewelry –  Toys, etc.) in  my extensive and far-reaching Media Campaigns, I  will feature YOU as ‘THE SPLURGE OF CHOICE’ or ‘THE SPLURGE OPTION’ for $2,500 per Quarter or $10,000 for the Year. Again, what you are buying is inclusion in my Mailings & unlimited Exposure; Viral Trending Extensive Media (Exposure as seen above, plus more) that highlights your Product/Brand being THE SPLURGE OF CHOICE in 2014.  

YOU WOULD HOLD AN EXCLUSIVE IN YOUR PRODUCT/BRAND/SERVICE/MATERIALS’ CATEGORY

 which, of course,

equates to the finest Testimonial that looks dynamic on every Form of Publicity you produce and interview you grant.


This once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity for EXCLUSIVITY is being offered on a FIRST COME - FIRST SERVE BASIS.  For instance, Examples of EXCLUSIVITY center upon:  Tourneau, Philippe Patek and other Fine Watches and/or Cadillac, Jaguar and Mercedes Benz.  If Rolex opts for THE WATCH EXCLUSIVE, then Tourneau, Philippe Patek and other Fine Watchmakers will not obtain THE EXCLUSIVE.   If Ferrari opts for THE AUTO EXCLUSIVE, Cadillac, Jaguar and Mercedes Benz will not be promoted as the ’SPLURGE OF CHOICE.’ 


TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM BUILDING:  On Tuesday, July 1, 2014, Voting for THE SPLURGEE® (the Award analogous and equivalent to winning the Movie Industry’s Emmy or Oscar, in the ‘World, Field and Industry of Splurge’) begins. The Top and most popular PRODUCT(s) – BRAND(s)  - SERVICE(s) - MATERIAL(s) will be promoted as SPLURGE OF THE SEASON (SOTS) during Black Friday (November 28, 2014 through December 24, 2014) by ROBERT E. HOFSTADTER, Managing Director, our Team & me at SPLURGE CENTRAL in order that these PRODUCT(s) – BRAND(s)  - SERVICE(s) - MATERIAL(s) receive the Name Recognition and  International Exposure due them (for standing apart from all other Entities in those 12 Monthly Categories). Being an active participant in NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 and YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 guarantees that unique Creative Expression that stops People; turns heads and then leads them on to a ‘Special Something Else’ – something to SPLURGE upon. 

“This is the Glory of the Story behind my NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994.”


Quote of ASK: ADRiENNE SiOUX KOOPERSMiTH

Saturday, January 4, 2014 – 9:25 AM CST

   
NOTE: After the Industrial Age ‘kicked in’ and the Quality of Life improved immensely for ‘most,’ the Ability to SPLURGE arose.  In the past, SPLURGING has always been popular and has consistently obtained Visibility.  Now, as THE HOLIDATE marks and observes its 20TH Year ABC:  Anniversary-Birthday-Celebration in 2014, that traction will be multiplied. As a clever Event, NSD remains a more Cost Effective Way for you to get your Message relayed to a larger body of prospective Buyers, Users, Consumers and gain unlimited Fanfare, while growing your Network.

Q:  Could SPLURGING be any more beneficial than this?

TO REITERATE:  Engagements of either a Quarter or Full Year are available at the cost-effective Rates of: 

$2,500 per Quarter, prepaid;

or

$10,000 for 2014, prepaid.

With the endless slew of Media Attention I have received for the Formation/Development/Promotion of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994, EXCLUSIVITY is the wisest Choice you could make in order to participate in its Spin-Off, YEAR OF THE SPLURGE taking place now through December 31, 2014.  For those of you who opt to become a SPONSOR (instead) of an EXCLUSIVE, that possibility is also on ‘The Board’ at a flat Fee of $5,000, prepaid.  Contact me for details as to what is included in this modified, yet sizzling SPLURGE Package.      

Being represented and promoted by the Founder/Creator/Spokesperson(ality) of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 and the YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 is the best Marketing Outreach you could ever make.  Being designated as ‘THE SPLURGE OF CHOICE’ will impact the Future of your Lines and Brands.  Act fast.  This is a FIRST COME – FIRST SERVED OFFER for THE EXCLUSIVE.  This HOLIDATE’s next Grand ABC: Anniversary – Birthday – Celebration happens in 2019 - #25. Having this Entitlement grabs the Attention of any and all Retail, Consumer & Media Groups.  “Attention” you can use in the most creative of manners for the years and decades ahead. 


FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION: 

How cool is NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY?

How cool is YEAR OF THE SPLURGE?

Very.


That’s a given.  ‘The People’ have LIKED it before LIKES became popular on Facebook.  That’s support money cannot buy.

As one of the most TRENDING Topics on Twitter & Facebook, NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 and the YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 certainly live-up to being a robust YEAR LONG EVENT OF MAXIMIZATION. This HOLIDATE (chock-full of Universal Appeal) is Part & Parcel of 21ST Century Living that People clamor to, spelling out E-X-C-I-T-E-M-E-N-T via each SPLURGE.   

Making ‘The Most’ of what this HOLIDATE has accomplished the last 20 years (as Millions of People world-wide already recognize and celebrate the EVENT) and what NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 and the YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 represent (in a business sense) is a smart Marketing Move  and long-term Investment on your part.  


THE BOTTOM LINE: 


After all, who would not want to be THE SPLURGE OF CHOICE?  The Question to seriously ask yourself now is:


Are you ‘THE SPLURGE OF CHOICE?’


And, do you want to take that EXTRA STEP to ensure that Title for the Longevity of your Business Career?


IN CLOSING: 

Thank you for giving me the chance to detail this exceptional Opportunity, indeed categorized as a once-in-a-lifetime EVENT that will garner more Visibility, Fanfare and future Prospects for your Name, Company and Livelihood.  NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 & YEAR OF THE SPLURGE ©2010 provide unlimited Opportunities via my proven Publicity Machine.  We are happy to be offering it to you today so that your PRODUCT/BRAND/SERVICE/MATERIAL obtains the enhanced high quality Exposure it needs in today’s ever-competitive and cutting edge world.  We look forward to hearing from you SHORTLY with regards to joining us in THE YEAR OF THE SPURGE.

I'd positively love to find myself as the Eclectic Photographic splurge of the year, and, if I do as optimistically well at the gallery of choice (in my adopted city), I'd love to consider having you, ASK, consider me for a quarter-year exposure. I had to, wherever possible, engage in some photo-wording pun (here & there) for my Eclectics: This & That.

I'm thrilled that you sent me a 'Think About It' invite. And I shall consider the initial expenditure, if I get the full month (to exhibit my work). In the meantime, I'll just keep enjoying reading your insightful wordSmithin'! :-)
