Let Go

Once a woman grasps on to something she usually doesn't let it go for a while, unless she's non-committal, but that typical joke usually blames a man for the punch line. My girlfriend Rosie decided one day, out of the blue, that she would never eat beef again. She read somewhere what happens when beef breaks down in your system, and it was such a disgusting read for her she quit all beef immediately. That happened in 1998 and to this day she still won't eat anything that even resembles a steak.

My friend Ellen is a staunch Volkswagen owner, there is no comparison shopping; when she needs new wheels she heads straight to the VW dealer. This behavior is in a different brand loyalty category than most. I'm not so much of a brand shopper so much as I am a brand saver. There are items I prefer, and I prefer to buy them with a coupon which I usually find after a search or two. So how can this translate to you and your station? Find something that is of value to her and don't deter from it. Help her, assist her, entertain her.... however viral videos of beef breaking down in stomach acid is NOT recommended.
