This is a special one-day referral “blitz” contest, and the winner gets tickets to the Ravens vs. Steelers game this Sunday! If you know an IT professional who has a Top Secret Clearance, or higher, just send their name, email, phone, IT specialty and security clearance to marketing@g1440.com. We have opportunities in the Ft. Meade, Laurel, BWI, and Northern VA areas.

Each referral is one entry. On Friday morning at 9am, we’ll randomly select a winner to go to the game this Sunday! And, of course, if we place anyone you refer, there’s $500 with your name on it!

Just because something’s on sale, doesn’t mean it’s a deal.

I came across a quick post on one of my favorite consumer blogs with the image below:

Not everyone will spell it out so clearly, but many times, the “sale” isn’t really a deal.  Some Marketers will tout this as the best way to push products.  Mark up the “normal” price, then put it on “sale” for the original price.

I could easily launch into a page-long posting about giving real value to your customers and G.1440’s decade of experience doing just that, but I’ll spare the sales pitch for another post.  Just have a good chuckle at this photo, pass it along to a friend, and try competing with a user-friendly website that demonstrates the value in your products instead of a sign that says “Sale!” just for fun.
