| No Comment |  It's tough to come up with something to say when summer seems to have arrived in Jo'burg (not that we really had a winter!) and most of Gauteng seems to have escaped for a 'long' weekend holiday. But here's an interesting marketing ploy: one of our Australian readers sent us an interesting link to a site featuring Donald Trump 'doing housework'. Netizens can win prizes and donate to charity, but the real aim of the site is a very clever marketing campaign by Unilever North America, run in June/July, to promote its new 'all' Cleans & Softens liquid detergent and fabric softener in one bottle. "I am particularly excited to help launch a new product, 'all' Cleans & Softens, from a brand my mom used," Trump says. "We're also doing laundry and raising money for the Salvation Army, so it's a great project." If you're interested in viewing Domestic Donald building 'his empire of cleanliness' and have nothing better to do than surf the 'Net this hot sunny day, go to: www.allwashclub.com. Right then, I'm off to celebrate Woman's Day by doing absolutely no washing or cleaning on Tuesday!
Happy Woman's Day! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@biz-community.com

Quote of the day | | "Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them." - Paul Gauguin
