I got a GREAT present for Christmas this year and early to boot… not from Santa but maybe even BETTER!
FROM GOOGLE!!!! It was a regular day today until I went to my mailbox and found this in it….
At first I thought it was a regular Google advertisement piece…. but then I read the letter and started to jump up and down, I could not believe what I was reading it was like I won the LOTTERY!!!
The letter basically said: “Congratulations! You’re a Favorite Place on Google”…
” Michaela Prescott The Google Local Business Team”
it also included a sticker (they call it a decal) for me to put on my door… so I did, here is the video:
Below is a video from Google explaining this COOL NEW QR code TECHNOLOGY…

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????
ANSEWER FROM Google website:
- How did Google decide which businesses would receive the decal? The list was determined based on the popularity of a business’ Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users “decided” based on their actions, and we sent the decals.
- How selective was Google in selecting the businesses to receive the decal? Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.
THANK YOU Google (AND MY CUSTOMERS)
P.S. I STILL USE THE GOOGLE MUG YOU SENT ME LONG AGO…

MY GOOGLE MUG... I LOVE GOOGLE!
