👋 Hey there, Mike here.

I hope your weekend was fab. I'm writing this on a Tuesday because we had a long weekend away for my wife's birthday (without the kids). Bliss.

Details. I've just spent a lovely few days away from home in a spa hotel for my wife's birthday. Almost everything was perfect. The hotel lobby was incredible. The check-in experience was top-notch. The evening meal was exquisite. A unique upgrade because of a birthday. Birthday treats in the room. Fantastic.

The room, however, was freezing. No matter what we did, the AC unit wouldn't heat it. It was a bitterly cold weekend as Storm Darragh had been battering the UK.

Now, I might come across as snobby, but the main thing we cared about was being warm and cosy. All the other bits were great, but our most important thing was warmth.

Think: Do you stress the details and talk to your customers about what matters to them?

This is one of those adverts that works in any country. It reminds people to choose carefully during the festive season and not to drink and drive.
