the importance of packaging

We have been invaded. Over the past few weeks G and I have noticed ladybugs popping up all over down in the basement. Just one or two a day crawling up a lampshade or along the rug at our feet. We sometimes just leave them when on a safe surface, but often decide to gently scoop them onto a piece of paper...especially if they're on the floor. A short walk over to the storage room where they can crawl around to their heart's content.

Do lady bugs have hearts? A quick google revealed that the Swiss name for them is Lord God's Little Fatty, but not much about their interior anatomy.

I don't want to give the impression that there's been a swarm of them crawling over us. Just that there's been a steady flow of them recently and we do everything in our power to keep them alive.

Now, the ladybug is a member of the insect family. So are ants. G and I have seen several ants down in the basement as well. Probably a total of five or six in the entire time we've been down there. We've squashed every last one of them.

The moral of this story? There is such a think as bad publicity, and a good brand image needs the proper packaging in order to thrive.

Labels: dose of mikey, sharketing

Prunes vs dried plums. Say no more.
