Most businesses spend years perfecting and then protecting their brand awareness and aligning your company with them in the media, by writing a press release, without their express written permission can be seen as a breach of trust that can easily cause you to lose the client.

Never assume and always ask first and then get it in writing. It will save you writing letters of apology, making phone calls asking for forgiveness, asking for retractions and generally consuming your time you should be spending to cultivating new business. Even if they say no, they will respect you for taking the time to ask. And who knows, they may even say yes and give you a quote.

Take the time and send flowers to a loved one without a reason. You’ll both be happier for it.

And you can send flowers inexpensively, here are flowers for under $50 bucks.
