The word “promote” generally encompasses the acts of advertising for, making publicity for, or trying to sell something, namely a product, service, or idea. There are many ways to promote a product, service, or idea, including through the use of media coverage, networking, and/or the distribution of promotional products.
Television is one particular media outlet that has proven to be effective at promoting individuals and brands, and Saturday Night Live has been an integral way for up and coming musical artists, actors, and other celebrities to gain widespread exposure through weekly guest appearances and performances. On October 11, 1975 Saturday Night Live premiered with host George Carlin. This sketch comedy and variety show has reached legendary status, and has featured such prominent figures as The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Candice Bergen, and even several former American presidents!
Whenever I am in need of a good laugh, I often turn to reruns of classic Saturday Night Live episodes for comic relief. One of my personal favorite segments on Saturday Night Live is Weekend Update, and with the upcoming holidays, I thought the following clip would be appropriate.
Please note: Christmas is NOT cancelled this year! In fact, you can make this holiday season even more memorable for valued customers and staff by giving them promotional Corporate Holiday Gifts imprinted with your brand’s name and logo.
