Free & Discounted Tax Day Treats
April Fools isn’t the only day brands do things to get attention. Tax Day (April 15th) is also seemingly random day that non-tax-filing-related brands get hype about. What's great is that they get more people in the door and most likely spending more money. Plus, they're getting publicity, which is always a good thing.
The question is - how do you get them to come back on April 17th. Or May 21st?
Hmm. Pondering.
