It won’t be the top of the Empire State Building, but we’re having a little lovefest in New York next month for fans of The 3/50 Project. Thanks to the generosity of George Little Management, this first time gathering of retailers from across the country will focus not only on what The 3/50 Project is all about, but will include examples of how other businesses have promoted the movement, with success.
Whether you’re new to the idea, or one of our early adopters, I hope you’ll join us.

Next up: Channel 12 features The 3/50 Project. Big thanks to The Woods gift shop in Maple Grove, Minnesota for providing such a great stage. If you haven’t been there, go. I guarantee you’ll hit your $50 without breaking a sweat, there’s so much fun stuff to choose from.
(Point of clarification: Although the reporter says $50 per store, The 3/50 Project message is $50 per month.)
Once again, it’s time for the Perspective Posse to saddle up.
According to at least one major network, “New numbers out this morning confirm this recession is getting worse,” based on a report by RealtyTrack that is “showing a 24% jump in the first quarter of the year in the number of households receiving at least one foreclosure notice.”
Now…before you feel the floor drop out, let’s look at the rest of the story, because the headline most certainly does not tell it all: [click here to continue…]
For those of you who, like me, are die hard Flip Note fans, you’re gonna love this. For those of you scratching your head, wondering what the heck a Flip Note is, well…catch up. They’re just about the handiest little gadgets in the world for jotting a quick note on the fly.

That’s right. Thanks to the extraordinary magic of Gregg Marshall-—tech genius, brainiac, and friend (@greggmarshall to those of you on Twitter)-—the first 1,600 businesses who registered with The 3/50 Project are now up on the Supporters page of the website.
