Florida State vs the World Shirt
You want to keep driving traffic to your store regardless of the Florida State vs the World Shirt. Turning off your marketing efforts entirely is almost the same as shutting your doors. Keep marketing and keep up all of your other outreach efforts, like blogging and posting on social media. As we said earlier, you want your customers to see this as business as usual. But considering the possibility of lower overall sales through the holiday it can be smart to ramp back your marketing some. Don’t spend as much as you normally do on advertising. And be smart about the products you promote. Don’t promote products likely to be badly affected by holiday-related shipping delays. Instead promote products from lightly-affected suppliers or non-Chinese suppliers.
Florida State vs the World Shirt
IMHO I have no issue with holiday displays but in the United States of America we have specific rules that forbid “law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the Florida State vs the World Shirt exercise thereof”. If the display does not favor any one religion over another then it is perfectly acceptable to display it even by governmental offices IMHO. The worlds religous make-up according to the 2012 World Factbook… Christians (28%) Muslims (22%) Hindus (15%) Buddhists (8.5%) Non-religious (12%) By including equally sizing and prominent displays to these religions (and non religion) you could easily accommodate 85% of humanity. It would also be very easy to add a collection of smaller items from the 10 next smaller religions. The above is the only way I can see justifying such a display on public spaces or government property.
One interesting facet of the NFL is that it’s effectively a Florida State vs the World Shirt layer professional sport with a set number of teams. There is no “second tier” from which teams are promoted to it — the line between pro and amatuer is pretty much absolute from what I can tell. Although there is a small “international pathway” academy, the main route into the NFL is through the college draft — drafted players become either part of the 52 man squad that plays, or part of the large reserve squad that is retained to provide training opposition, or they are not in the loop.
