I THINK MR GRINCH MAY HAVE HAD A POINT ... “Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” The Grinch. At this time of the year it shouldn't be all about the rush of customers or the sound of the tills ringing. It should be about feeling and being part of something more. You can only imagine my delight, following a suggestion to our teams to have some fun on our Facebook platform throughout the Christmas period, I saw this incredibly creative (and utterly hilarious) post from our Ulverston store. Working collaboratively to not only engage followers on our social media, by giving them a snapshot into who we are as people, but using imagination and flair to have bags of fun. We often forget how much of an impact having fun at work has. Having fun leads to happier teams. Happier team members are more engaged. Engaged employees show increased rates of productivity as well as a far lower rate of absenteeism from work. Key metics that we are all predominantly focused on as a business and yet how often do we prioritize fun? For retail workers it can be one of the most stressful and pressured times of the year. Now, i'm not advocating dressing up as the Grinch for work tomorrow but perhaps let's try and have a laugh with our colleagues and enjoy the time we spend in each other's company. During our lifetime we spend around 90,000 hours doing our jobs. That's a really long time so we may as well enjoy ourselves doing it, right? Don't forget it's good for us and our business too! #petindustry #employeeexperience #employeeengagement #funatwork WCF Pet & Equestrian

Ditch the Boardroom, Find Your Flagpole. I spotted a lone seagull perched majestically on a flagpole, surveying the King's Square a few days ago. It got me thinking – seagulls are social creatures, so why the solo act? Then it hit me: even a gregarious gull needs some "me time." That quiet space to recharge and let the creative juices flow. That's when it dawned on me – sometimes the best ideas don't hatch in a bustling boardroom but in the serene sanctuary of solitude. Maybe it's a walk in nature, a meditation session, or just staring at the clouds – whatever your "seagull on a flagpole" moment might be. This got me wondering – where's YOUR flagpole? The place where the noise fades, and inspiration takes flight? Share your secret recharge spot in the comments – because sometimes, the greatest ideas come from getting away from it all. #marketingideas #breakthroughthinking #marketingideas #outofthebox #campaigninspiration #mindfulnessmatters #marketingmaestro #findyourspark #metimemagic #quietstorm
