Really got my creative juices flowing. Do Unto Others day?” Ellen Sue Burton, Publisher~DUO Magazine
“Not only did it list cool and wacky holidays throughout the year, but the tips and ideas were invaluable. I’m looking forward to creating and sending my clients off the wall greeting cards. I can’t wait to see your new calendar. Now how do I keep my competitors from seeing this? I’ll be sure to pass it on to my friends.”
Heidi Caswell, Connect Simply
I not only loved “The Quirky Marketing Calendar”, but since I teach Marketing Bootcamps, I always give out the link for my students to download (the first two chapters), too. It is filled with some great marketing ideas and really helps generate some idea creation groundwork when we need to come up with new ideas, too. Keep up the great work and please be sure to keep me on your email list! All my students adore you, too! Thankfully yours, Carmen Wisenbaker, “The Publicity Diva”
“I love the calendar. It is especially useful for fun tips on my radio show and I have been using it on Twitter. The special days and weeks are great ice breakers. But I can also use the information to do radio shows that are timely, such as prevent child abuse month, and such. Having all this info in one place is so wonderful. Thanks so much!”

“Thanks Heidi, I’m enjoying all the ideas you put into the Quirky Marketing Calendar. So far it’s been an excellent resource.” Evelyn Stern Ballin, Artist
“I have heard of marketers using unusual national or international ‘holidays’ to help market their businesses, but I wasn’t sure where to find the information about when those days were. When Heidi wrote Quirky Marketing, it was like she was reading my mind! As a communication consultant and coach, I’ll be sure to plan an event for January 22 (Better Business Communication Day) and something big for the entire month of June (Communication Effectiveness Month). Not only does the book have the ‘holidays’ listed, but you’ll also find hundreds of creative ideas for applying the themes of each day, week, or month to your marketing plans. I’m excited about the possibilities and will definitely refer to this book regularly!” Felicia J. Slattery, M.A., M.Ad.Ed. Life Coach & Communication Consultant
“This is so FUN!!! It has tremendous potential for teachers – great ideas to get kids thinking creatively and write!!!!Thanks for this

“Actually, this calendar is one of the most unusual and practical marketing tools I have ever had. It helps me come up with great ideas to tie in my services and products in a very natural way, that is of timely interest at various points during the year. I plan to track the new campaigns I’m building around these ideas, so that I can make some changes next year. If all goes as well as I hope it does, your quirky ideas will be adding some significant extra cash to my income this year. Thank you!”
Nancy Boyd, Founder and CEO ~ Bright Wings, Inc.
“Hi Heidi, I love your Quirky Marketing Calendar 2010 and am wondering if you are doing a 2012 version? Most of all I like your marketing plan in it.Since I teach marketing to folks, I would love to have my people learn about you. I am happy to promote the 2012 version if you’re doing one, and also was wondering if I could engage you as a guest speaker to my group sometime in the coming year? Maybe even before 2011 gets here? If that is something that you would be willing to do, please let me know and we can work out the details. Hopefully, it would help you sell more books.At any rate, I appreciate your work very much and am hoping that there is a 2011 version in the works. Thanks!” Marty Marsh, Graphic Designer
“Heidi, the idea of your book is brilliant… plus it brings in an element of joy that is, in general, sorely missing!I am delighted to help share your good work with others!”
