Marks and Spencer have celebrated their anniversary most notably by re-creating a Penny Bazaar which honoured Marks first penny bazaar when the company started.

125 year anniversary for Marks and Spencer

125 year anniversary for Marks and Spencer

I happened to see this bag left on a seat at Paddington station in London.  Somebody forgot their shopping but it looked like a good advertisement.  I immediately thought ” Oh is there a Marks and Spencer here”, and went to find the shop.

Good to see the anniversary celebrations not simply staying within one calendar year.

You don’t have to be as big as Mand S or as long established to have your own anniversary which could encourage real footfall within premises or virtual visitors on the web.  What anniversary have you got to celebrate in your small or medium sized business?
