 As the eggnog starts to flow and the temperatures begin to drop (-21F in the Paradise Valley this morning), it's the perfect time to consider giving back to those less fortunate. Businesses often make the mistake of thinking that December is all about year-end sales and
2010 marketing plans. While getting ready for the new year is important, it's also crucial to enlist your inner do-gooder to help those in need.
Your philanthropic efforts don't have to involve a lot of money or time. Need some ideas for giving back this holiday season? PFL just recently released our
'Top 5 Ways to Make a Difference this Holiday Season'.
While volunteer work is first and foremost about the charity, it can also help to generate publicity for your company. Once you decide on your cause, prepare a press list, invite members of the media to an event or write a press release--then follow up by phone to pitch to key press members. It's a win-win that can help those in need and increase your sales.
This month, we're highlighting a product that's good enough to stand on its own, introducing PFL's new partnership with email service provider Constant Contact, and sharing our recent mention in The New York Times.

The Holiday Effect
The holidays play a different role for every company. Some are blessed with a burst of business at the end of the year, while others are stuck twiddling their thumbs. Last month, we asked you what you are experiencing and what your plans are to market yourself throughout the frenzy.
Of those that responded, the majority (45%) say that your business slows down during the holiday season. To help offset that lull, 27% of you plan to ramp up your marketing this holiday season compared to last year. Fifty-four percent say that your marketing initiatives will remain constant, while only 18% plan to scale back on marketing.
