While our Thanksgiving celebrations later this week (not to mention the entire upcoming holiday season...) may be different than years' past, some things remain the same -- like Black Friday (brought to you this year with socially distanced crowding!) and Cyber Monday (a.k.a. "how all of us shopped the majority of 2020 anyway #thankyoupandemic"). In any event, to add a bit of cheer to what is typically the most wonderful time of the year, we share a few of our clients' holiday deals we're most excited for, below.
One of the things that has helped me personally get through this challenging year has been the kindness and generosity of so many. This pandemic has hit all of us -- some more, some less -- but in one way or another, absolutely none of us have been immune. While marlo monthly is normally reserved for our clients' news, there's nothing normal about 2020, which is why we've been sharing news and deals for friends as well as clients over the past months, and we don't envision that changing anytime soon. After all, you never know how word will spread, and we're happy to do whatever we can to help other small businesses make it through to the other side. That's why I'm happy to share an idea for any of you business owners or managers trying to think about how to plan a holiday celebration for your staff: check out the Holiday Parties in a Box from our friends at Conventures. Perfect for groups small to large, with lots of super creative ways to celebrate the hard work of your teams this year with far more than just another Zoom Happy Hour.
While 2020 has certainly been a trying time for many of us, we're thankful more than ever for our colleagues, our clients, our family, our friends, and our health. From all of us at marlo marketing, wishing you and yours a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and a holiday season filled with love, wonder, and merriment while we remember in the back of our minds that "this too shall pass."

If there's one thing we will all surely need to prioritize in 2021, it's a little #selfcare. With fewer trips to the salon this year because of lockdown and fear of, as the docs like to say, "swapping air," our ends are split, our pores clogged, and our muscles sore AF.
Enter six-time "Best of Boston" winner Ardan Medspa + Salon, conveniently located in the heart of Wellesley. Ardan's talented stylists and estheticians cater every service to the client, using top rated products like ZO® Skin Health, Shu Uemura and Revitalash in luxe, contemporary digs. The menu of services includes everything from balayage and blowouts to hydrafacials, laser hair removal, botox and much more -- basically, everything you need to walk out feeling like the new person we're all ready to be after the past year!
To entice you to #treatyoself/#treatyofam/#treatyofriends, Ardan's Black Friday/Cyber Monday Special is a beaut: For every $200 in gift cards purchased, you'll receive $25 to use toward a Medspa service in January or February. While we still may be socially distancing come early 2021, there's nothing wrong with looking and, more importantly, feeling our best -- even if it's just for our Zoom calls!

Black Friday -- you either love it or you hate it. Some brave souls look forward to waking up at the crack of dawn and standing in line in the cold. Others would rather sleep in, nurse their T-Day hangover, and order takeout while binging shows and skimming through online sales.
If you fall into the latter category, you'll be happy to know that our friends at All Day Hospitality are offering BOGO deals on select items ordered through UberEats on Black Friday: Double Cheeseburger or Fried Chicken Sandwich from Ward 8, Mozz Sticks or Meatballs from Tony & Elaine's, Chicken Parm from Ciao Bella and any type of taco from Bodega Canal. And, for those who want to wear their love for All Day on their sleeves (literally), all merch will be BOGO on Cyber Monday (use code ALLDAYBOGO, one free item per order).
You worked hard on that perfectly-roasted bird, so now let All Day Hospitality do the cooking. All you'll have to worry about is putting pants on to answer the door!

Turkey Day is bound to be a bit different this year, and although we'll likely be spending more quality time with Fido than Uncle Frank, we'll be damned if we don't take advantage of whatever festive traditions we can. So, if you're the type who goes to bed on Thanksgiving night giddy with anticipation for the big sales that await you, we suggest making Arsenal Yards in Watertown your Black Friday shopping and dining destination.
Shop 'til you drop at top retailers like Gap Factory, European Wax, Marshalls and Old Navy, after which you'll surely have worked up an appetite. Then, grab a bite at one of Arsenal Yards' premier dining spots to take advantage of more Black Friday-only deals, like a free scoop of ice cream for kids with a regular purchase at Ben & Jerry's, or a free shake voucher for every $25 spent in gift cards at Shake Shack. And you'll definitely want to pop into City Works Eatery & Pour House for a post-shopping pick-me-up: a pint of Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout, a rare brew that will be tapped for one day only.
Don't get us wrong -- we're kind of bummed that we won't get to witness Uncle Frank's antics after a few glasses of spiked cider. But we're also looking on the bright side: social distancing = no rowdy Black Friday crowds, and that's a win in our book!

Thinking back on our resolution list for 2020 is, sadly, a bit comical -- how were we to know that our seemingly attainable goals of trying new restaurants, frequenting the gym, and carving out more time for friends would be utterly impossible?! Now that the year is (thankfully) coming to an end, it's time to get real about making lemonade out of lemons in 2021.
First step -- get serious about our health. To start, we're stocking up on GoLive ready-to-mix pre- & probiotic blends, our daily dose of digestive health. With a selection of daily essentials in a variety of flavors like Tangerine Turmeric, Blueberry Lemon and Matcha Tea, and functional blends that target our immune system, hair, nail and skin health and more, we'll be on track to feeling our best in the new year.
To make it easier to slay our goals, GoLive is offering 20% off all online orders plus free shipping and guaranteed delivery by December 15 for all purchases made on Cyber Monday. So, "Add to Cart" and check off that first resolution -- 2021 is already looking up!
