Is It Friday Yet!?

Do you remember the good old days? Back when advertisements were written on typewriters and there was only one type of mail. Sure stamps were just four cents and a gallon of gas could be bought fora mere thirty-one cents, but I think the present day is much better. It might cost me an arm and leg to fill up my SUV but at least Ican do everythingI need to from a computer. Email is much more prevalent in my life than snail mail, and I can write this blog straight from laptop anywhere in the world!

Even better yet is the fact that Thrifty Nickel wouldn’t be possible without all this great technology. Just call any one of our offices and we’ll type your ad up instantly and you’ll see it in Thursday’s paper. Just be sure that you call us before 6pm today because we are on deadline today!

No Power Outages Here!

Did anyone else find it just a little bit hard to wake up this morning? We actually got to experience a good game last night and congrats to the Baltimore Ravens for winning it all. There were a lot of good commercials too; my favorite was the Budweiser Clydesdale one, but I’m still trying to poll the rest of the office to get the official Thrifty Nickel top pick.

How about that power outage in the Superdome last night? I’ve never seen a big game delayed that long because someone forgot to pay the electric bill. All kidding aside, I heard there are some upset advertisers with CBS today because of all the unpaid airtime some companies got during the outage. Thankfully here at Thrifty Nickel, we don’t treat our clients like that! 🙂

If you’re in need of some electric work so that your home doesn’t end up lights out during the big game, then let us help. Now I don’t mean me because I would just end up electrocuting myself, I mean Thrifty Nickel! Our Business & Service Directory has plenty of helpful people waiting for you to call.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Superbowl Sunday is just two days away! Even though no Texas teams are involved this year, you can bet that we’ll all still be watching the big game. It has been estimated that 7 million people will miss work on the Monday after the Superbowl. So if you don’t see a terrific new blog posted on Monday then you’ll know why!

Thrifty Nickel wants all of you to know how easy it is to advertise with us. You can place your ads in person, over the phone, through the mail, or online! Even better yet, advertising is affordable for any budget with Thrifty Nickel. Certainly cheaper than the $3,000,000+ it would take you to place a thirty second commercial that would air during the Superbowl. Be sure to let us know which commercial you see this weekend is your favorite, and remember to place YOUR ads with Thrifty Nickel.
