Tulsa Rules: Pop up Shops and Blue Dome Props!

Happy Holidays Friends and Neighbors!

By now you have likely heard the good word about the wonderful things happening in and around downtown Tulsa.  If you are one of those who has been looking for something new and is a bit confused by the cacophony of ideas this time of year, allow me to offer some great choices for you.  


First and foremost I am here to tell you about an awesome opportunity not only for you to shop with but for  Tulsa and downtown's revival to a grander state.  The Deco District is opening up several stores for the holiday season.  These stores are great folks with awesome stuff and in such beautiful architecture all around you.


Secondly the Blue Dome District is once again there with the Holiday Parade of Lights.  Last year we had to call to arms as it was threatened by the PC folks who wanted to do boycotts over the name being inclusive of all people who believe in something this time of year.  This year those folks are having their own parade that won't let the other faiths join in their reindeer games.   The Holiday Parade of Lights will offer something for anyone who wants to come.  Very cool.


Third of course is Winterfest.  Right outside the BOK Center.  Ice Skating, festivalities and more!  Drop by and check it out, you can't miss it!


I will be enjoying all the season has to offer.  Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?   Downtown.

The Holiday Acceleration Formula Retrograde Adjustment

Happy Holidays Friends and Neighbors!  So there is a lot of talk about the stores that are opening their doors earlier and earlier each year.  This year even so early as 10 p.m. on Thursday.   All the hue and cry about this is really stupid.   I completely dismiss for you the whole "Family" issue because if family is important to you, you will not even consider going before you want to anyway so it is a moot point (unless you want to tell somebody else how to live... no never!)
Think about it, the earlier you open, the less special you appear.  Particularly with a store like Wal-Mart, who cares?  You want to be smart about it, follow my orders.... open later.
That is right, later.  If everyone opens at say 2 a.m. they are all fighting for that early shopping time.  If your store opens at say 5 a.m. you will get both the people who did not want to get up earlier and those who have already hit the 2 a.m. crowd.  Spread it around, people aren't as likely to spend all their money in one store anyway, particularly for hours.  Let that sink in.  Yep, I am right.  So impress me and open with door busters at 8 a.m. and see what kind of press you get.  Imagine the lines being seen in the daylight!  People driving by and getting enticed.  It will work well for you.  Class Dismissed.

Be excellent to each other,
