Way too often we needlessly tick off people — potential customers and friends — by thoughtlessly excluding them.
Case in point, as jezebel.com notes, a headline from “Wired” implies that dads, but not female people, can teach kids to be geeks.jezebel.com/5912345/wired-magazine-cant-seem-to-stop-alienating-women?tag=parenting
The other day, I heard a young woman grumble that a company was being “politically correct” for saying “Happy holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.”
No, actually the company was being a smart marketer, not to mention inclusive.
Lots of people are not Christian — like a huge majority of the world’s population and a small sliver of Pensacola’s. So why not open up the greetings to as many people/potential customers as possible — “Happy Holidays” — rather than narrow it down to people who believe in Christmas?
